Human-out-of-the-loop AI removes a person from routine execution after goals, permissions and quality criteria are established. In coding, an agent can implement, test and revise a bounded task before presenting the result for later review.
Removing humans from implementation does not mean removing governance. The workflow needs independent checks, bounded actions, observable evidence and a clear escalation path when the agent cannot satisfy the specification or encounters uncertainty.

Human-out-of-the-loop AI performs defined operational steps without asking a person to approve each one. People still set the goals, permissions and quality rules before the workflow runs.
For example, a coding agent can implement and test a small approved change before presenting the result for review. Independent checks and a clear escalation path remain necessary when the agent finds uncertainty or cannot meet the specification.
