Human Accountability in AI Workflows
AI can accelerate analysis and drafting, but it cannot absorb legal, ethical, or operational accountability on behalf of an organization.
Accountability design questions
- Who owns final decisions in each workflow stage?
- Which outputs require mandatory human approval?
- Where must explanations or audit trails be retained?
- What happens when AI confidence is low or contradictory?
Accountability becomes practical when responsibilities, review rights, and override authority are encoded directly into workflow operations.
