AI's "human in the loop" isn’t

Here's the big problem with 'humans in the loop' to safeguard AI, according to Cory Doctorow: "Humans are wildly imperfect, and one thing they turn out to be very bad at is supervising AIs." It should be noted, I think, that humans were wildly imperfect before AI as well, and it was just something we dealt with. But also: even if we put humans in the loop, and even if they're not making mistakes, will the be willing or able to overrule the AI? "We've all encountered instances in which 'computer says no' and the hapless person operating the computer just shrugs their shoulders apologetically. Nothing I can do, sorry!" The 'human in the loop', concludes Cory Doctorow, "is a false promise."
