Why human-in-the-loop matters: root causes, business impact, and the AI-native fix
Human-in-the-loop matters because AI agents must escalate when confidence is below threshold. Human review on edge cases keeps quality high while autonomy is high on standard transactions. Mature deployments route 5 to 20 percent of transactions to humans, focused on the cases where judgment beats AI confidence.
