What is human judgment in artificial intelligence?
Definition
Human judgment sets goals and evaluates consequences that a model cannot resolve from pattern prediction alone. It includes deciding whether artificial intelligence is appropriate, selecting a system, checking evidence and weighing context, ethics and responsibility.
Judgment is strongest when the person has subject knowledge and can explain the decision. Merely approving a generated answer after a quick glance is not meaningful oversight. The reviewer needs time, authority and access to underlying evidence.

What makes human review meaningful?
Meaningful review requires relevant expertise, enough time, access to evidence, authority to reject the output and responsibility for the final decision.
