What human in the loop means
Human in the loop means a person has a defined decision, sufficient evidence, real authority and a timely opportunity to intervene in an AI-enabled workflow.
What meaningful oversight requires
A confirmation button does not create meaningful oversight if the action has already happened or the reviewer cannot inspect its basis. For example, an engineer reviewing an AI quality-control result needs the source drawing, any missing-input state, and permission to override or escalate before approval.
Where review should be placed
Review should be placed according to consequence, uncertainty and reversibility. Agentic UX adds the planning and execution context for multi-step systems.
