Comment by Julie Sweet
Chair and CEO of Accenture
The future of AI and companies is human in the lead. [...] I think the human in the loop has been a huge disservice because companies are led by humans. You can't trust AI unless you understand AI — if you don't have the leaders understanding it, they can't explain it to our people. They can't drive the transformation.

Verified. The quote ("The future of AI and companies is human in the lead... I think the human in the loop has been a huge disservice because companies are led by humans. You can't trust AI unless you understand AI — if you don't have the leaders understanding it, they can't explain it to our people. They can't drive the transformation.") is confirmed verbatim from Julie Sweet (Chair/CEO of Accenture) at Davos 2026, per the exact Axios source_url. WebFetch returned HTTP 403, but web search confirmed the verbatim quote and attribution. Author attribution correct. Year 2026 current. Vote alignment: the "for" vote on "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains" is consistent on substance. Note the nuance: Sweet critiques the "human in the loop" *narrative/framing* as uninspiring, but her substantive view is that humans must LEAD AI — understand it, control it, and drive the transformation — which is an even stronger form of human oversight than "in the loop." Her position supports requiring meaningful human control over AI, so "for" is the correct alignment.
