A nominal 'human-in-the-loop' approach is not enough. If humans are overloaded or lack the right information, oversight becomes symbolic. [...] AI safety is no longer mainly a model issue, but rather a system and deployment issue. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Quote attributed to Francesca Rossi (IBM Fellow, Global Leader for Responsible AI and AI Governance): "A nominal 'human-in-the-loop' approach is not enough. If humans are overloaded or lack the right information, oversight becomes symbolic. [...] AI safety is no longer mainly a model issue, but rather a system and deployment issue." The IBM source URL (ibm.com/think/news/new-global-ai-safety-report-means-enterprise) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed both spliced segments verbatim from that exact IBM article (her commentary on the 2026 International AI Safety Report chaired by Yoshua Bengio): "A nominal 'human-in-the-loop' approach is not enough. If humans are overloaded or lack the right information, oversight becomes symbolic," and "AI safety is no longer mainly a model issue, but rather a system and deployment issue." Author attribution and biography correct; source is the primary IBM article. Year 2026 correct and relevant. Vote alignment: Rossi advocates for meaningful (not merely nominal/symbolic) human oversight of AI in high-stakes deployments, i.e., she supports genuine human-in-the-loop oversight — consistent with the "for" vote on "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains."
