Human oversight: real control or a checked box?

In other words, writing “human oversight” into a law does not solve everything. If someone receives an automated recommendation, has only a few minutes to review it, and must justify every departure from it, they may end up approving it almost every time. Oversight exists on paper, but it can be very weak in practice. That is probably where the next battle lies. We will have to see whether workers can learn the reasons behind a decision, challenge the data used, and obtain a review with real power to change the outcome. We will also have to measure what happens after the rules take effect. A decline in dismissals decided exclusively by automated systems would be one sign; a box simply checked by a supervisor, much less so.
