Human supervision

Requirement for human oversight of AI decision-support systems.

Definitions (2)

The statutory requirement that AI systems act as auxiliary tools to human decision-making, with supervision whose nature and intensity are compatible with the type, gravity and implications of the decisions being supported (Article 4 §1); encompasses monitoring, review and the ability to intervene in automated outputs.

A core principle mandating that human agents maintain ultimate control and review over decisions or outputs generated by AI systems, especially in critical public service contexts, to preserve human agency and judgment.
