Defined Human Control
Automation does not remove responsibility — it concentrates it. When no one is clearly in charge, everyone is exposed.
Why this matters
- Regulators and courts always look for a human decision-maker when things go wrong.
- Many incidents happen not because systems fail, but because no one knew who could stop them.
What often goes wrong
- No clear owner for robotic decisions
- Operators unsure when to intervene
- Escalation paths missing or ignored
What we help establish
- Clear ownership and authority
- Defined points where humans must approve or step in
- Documented responsibility that stands up to scrutiny
The reality
- Organisations with clear human control structures resolve incidents faster.
- Undefined accountability is one of the top reasons enforcement actions escalate.
