Checklist

Human-in-the-Loop AI Governance Checklist

Use this checklist to identify whether human review, authority, and decision records are defined before AI-assisted outputs influence operational action. It is a planning aid — not a certification.

Purpose

Why human-in-the-loop needs definition

“Human in the loop” is not meaningful unless ownership, review quality, escalation, and authorization records are defined.

This checklist helps teams identify gaps before AI-assisted outputs influence operational decisions.

Coverage

What the checklist examines

The interactive checklist below covers decision ownership, reviewer qualifications, risk classification, approvals, evidence, escalation, overrides, provenance, monitoring, and periodic control review.

This checklist is a planning aid and does not constitute legal, regulatory, audit, or certification advice.

Interpretation

How to use the planning result

  • Foundational controls documented — many required roles and records appear defined; still validate against policy.
  • Significant governance gaps remain — continue design work before operational reliance.
  • Formal review required before operational use — ownership, review, or authorization is incomplete.
