AI GLOSSARY

Human Approval

Agents & Autonomy

A checkpoint in an agentic workflow where a human must review and confirm before the AI proceeds to the next step. It is a safeguard that keeps humans in control of high-stakes decisions even within otherwise automated processes, and is a practical implementation of human-in-the-loop design.
