AI governance, security are key ways to keep the ‘human in the loop’
A piece from the University of Pittsburgh argues that AI governance and security practices are essential mechanisms for maintaining meaningful human oversight of AI systems.
Why this matters: The phrase 'human in the loop' gets used constantly, but it often means very little in practice. Clicking 'approve' on an AI recommendation you cannot audit is not oversight. Real human control requires knowing what the system is doing, being able to check it, and having the authority to override it. Governance and security are how you build that. Without them, the loop is just a formality.
