UC-AI-16 — Ensure human oversight of AI decisions
Design and operate high-risk AI systems so that natural persons can effectively oversee them during use, through human-machine interface tools and oversight measures built into the system or defined for the deployer. Assign oversight to persons who understand the system's capacities and limitations, can monitor operation, remain aware of automation bias, correctly interpret output, and can decide not to use, override, or halt the system. Evidence includes oversight procedures, oversight assignments, and intervention records.

- UC-AI-16 — Ensure human oversight of AI decisions mitigates Insufficient human oversight and automation complacency
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- Assigning competent overseers with authority to interpret, override or halt and automation-bias awareness is the direct inverse of the missing-oversight risk.
- UC-AI-16 — Ensure human oversight of AI decisions mitigates AI safety failures causing physical or psychological harm
- strength

- Human ability to override or halt a malfunctioning system is the last-line operational defense against safety-critical AI harm.
- UC-AI-16 — Ensure human oversight of AI decisions mitigates Unauthorized or unsafe autonomous agent actions and tool calls
- strength

- rationale
- Human overseers who can halt or override the system are the backstop when an agent acts outside its intended scope.
