We are not just focusing on AI as a mathematical or algorithmic field: we are also looking at ensuring that humans are central to decision-making. [...] We are trying to work out when we need to rely on humans and their expertise, and when things can be automated.

Verified via web search. Menna El-Assady (ETH Zurich Assistant Professor, founding member of UN's Independent International Scientific Panel on AI) said this in an April 2026 UN News article. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but Mirage News, India Blooms, Dailyhunt, UN Geneva, and European Sting all reproduce the verbatim quote about humans being central to AI decision-making. The "for" vote on "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains" aligns directly with El-Assady's framework of "augmented intelligence" — determining when to rely on humans vs. automation, with humans central to decision-making. Year 2026 is current.
