Human in the Loop
Human in the loop means people still review, approve, or steer the AI output.
Plain English
Human in the loop means the AI can draft, classify, summarize, or suggest, but a person still checks or approves the result where the risk or importance justifies it.
Why it matters here
This is the right operating model for many shop workflows: save time on the first pass without giving up accountability.
Picture it like this
Use simple language and analogies before technical phrasing takes over.
Analogy
AI drafts and structures the work. A human validates the decision.
Like an apprentice setting up the first pass while the lead still verifies offsets and signs off before production starts.
