AI Agents & Human Oversight: What You Need to Know

AI agents can execute dozens of decisions before a human reviews a single one. That autonomy is powerful and genuinely risky without the right controls in place. This guide explains what human oversight of AI agents actually means, how it works in practice, and what regulatory frameworks now require. You will learn the difference between real oversight and monitoring theater, where legal liability falls when agents make errors, and how to build a tiered oversight framework that protects your organization without eliminating the efficiency gains that make AI agents worth deploying in the first place.
