Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)
An AI system design where a human reviews + can override automated outputs before they affect a real-world decision. Distinct from human-on-the-loop (human monitors but doesn't review every decision) and human-out-of-the-loop (fully autonomous). EU AI Act Article 14 effectively mandates HITL or human-on-the-loop for high-risk AI.
