Human-in/on-the-Loop: Deciding Where AI Should Drive

English session - Beginner

Human-in-the-loop might be the easy answer, but a better model is where people set direction, agents execute, and review at key checkpoints. The real skill is deciding where a human has to own the call. This session works through that using a personal night-sky viewing planner application and weighing where AI should or shouldn't take the wheel. Attendees will leave with skills to decide where AI should drive and where it should ride along.
