There
speaker_1HOST
must always be a human in a loop, or HITL.
speaker_0HOST
HITL.
speaker_1HOST
This means someone with the explicit authority and the technical interface to look at the AI's output, recognize a potential bias or error, and hit the brakes.
speaker_0HOST
But hold on, if we build a super advanced AI that processes a million data points to make a recommendation and then we just force a human operator to look at it and say yes or no, aren't we just introducing a massive bottleneck?
Marcus ChenHOST
it never sends without your approval.
Marcus ChenHOST
You're the human in the loop.
Marcus ChenHOST
The AI just cuts down the time you spend analyzing every email.
Marcus ChenHOST
You get a daily digest.
Marcus ChenHOST
The AI isn't perfect.
Marcus ChenHOST
It's a tool to surface patterns, not to make the final call.
Marcus ChenHOST
That's why you're the human in the loop.
Marcus ChenHOST
You review every alert and decide based on your relationship.
David PrejeantHOST
That's the term that the data scientists tell me.
David PrejeantHOST
Got to keep that human in the loop.
Stan SmithGUEST
There's a couple ways to think about that.
Stan SmithGUEST
So in the world of like small commercial, whether it's healthcare or commercial PNC, when the policy is very small and very limited amount of dollars, it's hard to justify having a human look at every single one.
Vivienne MingGUEST
Their brain goes from solving hard math problem to chilling out in front of the TV.
Vivienne MingGUEST
Then we had another group, let's call them human in the loop.
Vivienne MingGUEST
You hear this a lot.
Vivienne MingGUEST
Human in the loop often was worse than human all by themselves.
Vivienne MingGUEST
Because human in the loop, when we analyze our students doing this, and I guarantee you, this is also true in the workplace, it means you assign an AI to do part of the task.
Vivienne MingGUEST
Like, go analyze historical oil prices.
Vivienne MingGUEST
And then it comes back and it gives you an answer.
Vivienne MingGUEST
You either accept it, in which case you're just like my first group, Or you reject it, in which case you're like a human without an AI.
Hema LomaxHOST
And Audrey, may I just say, psychological safety is a problem if what you want to be safe to be is the same status quo, right? The protecting you and your fear is not the safety we're talking about.
Hema LomaxHOST
I think what we need to be is safe to learn a growth mindset and get that human in the loop to do that.
Hema LomaxHOST
So Mara, over to you.
Hema LomaxHOST
Tell us about how we can use a human in the loop.
Hema LomaxHOST
I know that's the foundation of Ethico, so one of them.
Hema LomaxHOST
Tell us how that works for you.
Samir GroverGUEST
Attach it onto its own email, make it read your emails.
Samir GroverGUEST
And if there's simple things that need to be done that are HITL through a human in the loop through you in terms of deciding what those are, you could trigger things.
Samir GroverGUEST
It can organize files brilliantly.
Samir GroverGUEST
It can organize mailboxes brilliantly.
Rachel Shields-WilliamsGUEST
Um, one of the groups just intuitively took a more sophisticated problem, and instead of trying to tackle it in one fell swoop, they actually broke it into, um, four or five separate agents so they could make the judgment call in between each agent.
Rachel Shields-WilliamsGUEST
And they're like, "I mean, we might have made it more complicated." I was like, "No, actually, intuitively you made the right decision." I'm like, "You created the opportunity for the human to intervene and say, 'Is this the right step?'" And that is what we, that is human in the loop.
Rachel Shields-WilliamsGUEST
Um, you know, you have the agent take a step.
Rachel Shields-WilliamsGUEST
You look at it.
David MasonGUEST
And I think it's also this stage, you know, it's careful design.
David MasonGUEST
None of this technology and the technologists and those involved in organizational design will talk about human in the loop or human on the loop.
David MasonGUEST
But imagine you've got a two-year-old and you've just trained it to throw a ball.
David MasonGUEST
It's still going to need practice and coaching to throw it better.
Angie JudgeGUEST
does it mean to have a human in the
Hamish FriedlanderHOST
loop? Human in the loop.
Hamish FriedlanderHOST
Human in the loop.
Hamish FriedlanderHOST
What in the world is a human in the loop? Human in the loop.
Hamish FriedlanderHOST
AI in the loop.
Hamish FriedlanderHOST
Humans in
Angie JudgeGUEST
charge.
Angie JudgeGUEST
Welcome to Human in the Loop.
Ravi NabarGUEST
It's also, there's an acronym for it.
Ravi NabarGUEST
It's called HITL.
Ravi NabarGUEST
It's human in the loop.
Ravi NabarGUEST
And so it's important to know that the human being can actually observe the things that AI wants it to observe or that we want observed.
