Appropriate Reliance

The ideal state where human users rely on AI systems to the degree warranted by the system's actual accuracy and reliability, neither over-relying nor under-relying.

In Plain Language

Using AI as a helpful tool, not a crutch. Relying on AI for what it's good at, while still applying human judgment where it matters. The sweet spot between over-trust and under-trust.

Why This Matters

Appropriate reliance is the practical outcome of good AI governance. Your framework should promote a culture where AI is used as a powerful tool with proper human judgment, not treated as infallible or ignored entirely.
