What is human in the loop?
Human in the loop
Human in the loop is an approach to AI workflows in which people review, approve, correct, or guide AI-generated decisions. Rather than replacing human judgment, human-in-the-loop systems combine automation with human oversight to improve accuracy, accountability, and trust.
Example: An AI system in accounting automatically categorizes and reconciles most transactions, but routes unusual transactions, potential anomalies, or low-confidence classifications to an accountant for review before they are finalized.
