Why the future of AI governance depends on human judgment
The World Economic Forum has published a piece arguing that effective AI governance cannot be fully automated or delegated to technical systems alone, and that human judgment must remain central to how AI is overseen, evaluated, and held accountable.
Why this matters: Every time AI causes harm, someone will ask who decided this was acceptable. If the answer is 'the system decided,' that is not an answer. Governance without humans making real calls is just liability-laundering. The push to keep human judgment in the loop is not sentimental. It is the only way accountability means anything. The harder question is not whether humans should stay involved, but which humans, with what authority, and answerable to whom.
