BSL AI Glossary - Human-in-the-Loop definition

Translation: Human in the loop (HTIL) refers to an approach in which human operators remain involved at critical points in an AI system's workflow. Their role is to guide, supervise, or authorise the system's actions to ensure it behaves safely and correctly. This involvement can include reviewing outputs, correcting errors, providing expert feedback, or making final decisions before actions are carried out. HITL is employed to improve accuracy, increase safety, and ensure that important decisions remain under human oversight rather than being delegated entirely to automated systems.
