Human Oversight
The requirement and capability for qualified humans to monitor, intervene in, and override AI system decisions.
What is Human Oversight?
Human oversight is a core EU AI Act requirement for high-risk systems. It ranges from simple approval gates to real-time monitoring dashboards that flag anomalous agent behaviour. The key question is not whether humans can intervene, but whether the system makes intervention practical and timely. See Human Oversight Requirements and Human-in-the-Loop.
