Fairness & Accountability

📋 What it is

When AI makes important decisions, humans must stay accountable — able to explain, check, and override it.

🗣️ Coach says

For big decisions (loans, medical, safety), we can’t just “trust the AI.” Humans must be able to EXPLAIN why it decided, CHECK it for bias, and OVERRIDE it when it’s wrong. An AI that can’t be questioned shouldn’t make serious decisions.

🧠 Memory hook

For serious decisions: a human must be able to explain, check, and override the AI.

What did the training data say after a long day?
"I'm exhausted — I've been labeled all day!"

😲 Whoa!

The idea of a “human in the loop” — a person who can override an AI — is now built into laws about AI in medicine and self-driving cars, precisely because AI can be confidently wrong.

✅ Quick check: Why should a human be able to override an AI’s medical suggestion?

Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.

Think of a decision you’d NOT want an AI to make alone (a grade, a diagnosis). Why keep a human in charge?
