Mandate human review and verification of AI-assisted decisions affecting individuals

Conclusion
The potential for human error and bias notwithstanding, deployers should not solely rely on outputs produced with AI tools to determine their decision-making, particularly in areas that could affect the rights and standing of the individuals or entities concerned, such as insurance decisions or recruitment. These algorithmic decisions should always be reviewed and verified by trained humans, and those affected should have the right to challenge these decisions—a process that should also be human-centred.
