Human-over-the-Loop

A governance approach where humans maintain supervisory control and strategic oversight over AI systems, setting objectives and constraints without direct involvement in every decision.

Humans set the big-picture goals and boundaries for the AI but don't get involved in day-to-day decisions. Like a CEO who sets company strategy but doesn't approve every purchase order.

This oversight model is relevant to AI strategy because it defines how executive leadership maintains strategic control over AI programmes without micromanaging individual decisions. It is the governance model for enterprise-wide AI oversight.
