A decision affects someone's loan. Which practice fits?
Why D is the answer
Human in the loop
Human in the loop keeps a person responsible for high-impact decisions, and it helps with hallucinations and edge cases.
In detail
- A high-impact decision needs a human in the loop.
- Reserve this for decisions with real impact.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A model recommends a loan decision, and a person reviews it before it takes effect.
