Own the Outer Loop
TLDR ● Covered by 2 sources
Engineers are responsible for maintaining oversight of AI systems across multiple control loops, with humans required to validate and justify agent actions. The four critical loops requiring human involvement are the constraints loop, sampling loop, audit loop, and ownership loop. This distributed accountability model ensures that AI systems remain subject to human review rather than operating autonomously without justification mechanisms.
Why it matters
Engineers must own the outer loop and maintain accountability for AI systems, as humans are still required in the constraints loop, sampling loop, audit loop, and ownership loop to justify agent actions.
