Human Oversight

Implement Art. 14 human oversight requirements for high-risk AI systems. Configure approval gates at key lifecycle stages, schedule periodic reviews, and maintain a complete decision log for regulators.

Oversight Gate Types

Oversight gates are checkpoints that require human review and approval before an AI system can proceed. Each gate is linked to a specific AI system and assigned to a reviewer.

Pre-deployment

Required before an AI system moves from Testing to Deployed status. Ensures all compliance requirements are met.

Post-deployment

Triggered after deployment to verify the system performs as expected in production. Monitors for unexpected behavior.

Periodic Review

Scheduled at regular intervals (e.g., quarterly). Reviews ongoing performance, drift, and continued compliance.

Incident-triggered

Automatically requested when an AI incident is reported against the system. Requires review before continued operation.

Material Change

Required when significant changes are made to the AI system (new model, different data sources, expanded scope).

Decision Logging

Every oversight decision is logged with the reviewer, timestamp, decision outcome, and rationale. This forms the Art. 14 audit trail required for high-risk AI systems.

Approve

System is cleared to proceed. The reviewer confirms all requirements are satisfied.

Reject

System is not cleared. The reviewer documents the reasons and required remediation steps.

Defer

Decision is postponed pending additional information. A follow-up date is set.

Setting Up an Oversight Gate

1

AI OfficerNavigate to Oversight

2

AI OfficerCreate a new gate

Click New Oversight Gate. Select the AI system and gate type (pre-deployment, periodic, etc.).

3

AI OfficerAssign a reviewer

Select the team member responsible for the review. They will be notified when the gate is triggered.

4

AI OfficerSet the schedule

For periodic reviews, configure the review cadence (e.g., quarterly, annually).
