Explanation

Human-in-the-loop (HITL) processes insert human judgment at critical decision points within automated AI workflows. In high-stakes domains (healthcare, finance, criminal justice), this enables ethical oversight, accountability, and the ability to detect and override erroneous, biased, or harmful AI outputs before they cause harm. HITL does not transfer or remove organizational liability (B)-responsibility remains with the organization. It explicitly limits, rather than enables, full automation (C). It actively supports, rather than bypasses, explainability requirements (D) by requiring AI decisions to be reviewable and interpretable by human reviewers.
