Employee-facing workflow
If AI supports a process that affects employees, people should know where AI is used, what humans review, and how to raise concerns.
What this means
- •Human oversight means a person or accountable team can review, challenge, intervene, or override AI-shaped work where needed.
- •Transparency means affected people understand where AI is used, what humans review, and how concerns can be raised.
- •The more an AI workflow affects customers or employees, the more visible the oversight should be.
Why it matters
- •Hidden AI use can weaken trust and make errors harder to challenge.
- •High-impact workflows need clear challenge and review routes.
- •People should not have to guess whether AI influenced a process that affects them.
Common mistakes
- •Disclosing only to the implementation team.
- •Using vague statements that do not explain what AI actually does.
- •Removing human review because the process is faster without it.
What good judgement looks like
- •Keep human review for high-impact decisions.
- •Make AI involvement clear enough for the audience.
- •Provide a way to question, challenge, or correct AI-shaped outcomes.
Try this at work
- •Pick one AI-assisted process.
- •Write one sentence explaining where AI is used.
- •Name the person or team who handles concerns.
How this helps your reassessment
- •You know human oversight must not disappear in high-risk AI use.
- •You can describe appropriate transparency for customer-facing or employee-affecting processes.
- •You understand why disclosure and challenge routes matter.
