Humans in the loop

In the halls of Davos, CEOs weren’t asking if AI belonged in the workplace but how fast they could get it there.

Citibank CEO Jane Fraser talked on how, it could be particularly helpful on helping employees retrain. Some of their best employees have had multiple careers in their duration at Citibank. And AI can help enable that.

This thread also extends to model development, which itself has a lot of stop and keep humans in the loop to check progress. Having the models develop themselves or reducing those steps, speeds up the rate of improvement.

Agentic frameworks can also be hindered by the humans in the loop. Now, not that humans shouldn’t be included. But it’s that, that lens can impede the capabilities of the technology. Which is the whole point of them.

Expect this idea of ‘humans in the loop’ to become more and more prominent, as companies seek to drive more value from their AI investments. It’s also likely to be a regulatory slice, when and where were humans in the loop.

Of course the concern is, checks and balances. The early analogy of ‘AI as your intern’ but happens when you let your intern go unbound, free from feedback?
