Human-in-the-loop

Human-in-the-loop (HITL) is a model of human-AI collaboration where humans actively participate in the AI system's decision-making cycle. It ensures that a human expert can monitor, guide, or override the AI's outputs, especially in critical applications, leveraging both machine efficiency and human judgment to improve accuracy and mitigate risks.

In Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), HITL serves as a critical control to manage risks associated with AI adoption. It is applied in high-stakes areas like financial credit scoring and fraud detection. By requiring human oversight before an AI-driven decision is finalized, companies can prevent costly errors, mitigate algorithmic bias, and ensure compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act.

Taiwanese enterprises face challenges in implementing HITL, including a shortage of talent with both domain expertise and AI literacy, designing efficient human-AI workflows without sacrificing productivity, and establishing clear accountability frameworks. Solutions involve investing in cross-disciplinary training, adopting user-friendly AI monitoring tools, and developing robust standard operating procedures (SOPs).
