What is a Human-in-the-Loop approach to AI governance?

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) governance means designing AI systems and workflows so that human review or approval is required before critical decisions or actions are taken. It is a key principle in responsible AI deployment and is addressed throughout this course.

This course directly addresses the questions boards are now asking, from AI investment returns and risk exposure to regulatory compliance and governance oversight.

Yes. A common reason AI pilots fail to scale is the lack of governance, organisational readiness, and a clearly connected business case. This course addresses all three.

What is an AI Council and does our organisation actually need one?
