Reviewable Human Judgment

When a consequential decision is made with AI assistance, the question is not only what was decided — but whether the human component can be examined afterward.

Canon Atlas holds the deeper definitions. This page keeps the public boundary language readable and scoped.

Why Approved Is Not Enough

An audit log can confirm that a human clicked approve. It cannot confirm the quality of attention, reasoning, or oversight behind that click.

A human was in the loop describes presence. Here is a reviewable record of what the human held describes judgment.

Disclosure Boundary

Caneni does not infer attention, understanding, judgment quality, or oversight adequacy from behavioural telemetry. Caneni records attributable human action and stated responsibility; it does not score people, certify correctness, or treat a click as proof of cognition. Integrity claims are scoped: a record can be made reviewable and tamper-evident for a stated environment, not impossible to forge in every context.

A label is not evidence

A human-in-the-loop label is not evidence that meaningful human oversight occurred. Human Oversight Evidence asks a different question: what did the person actually review, where could they intervene, what did AI contribute, and what responsibility remained attributable?

What Makes Judgment Reviewable

What information the human had access to.
What the AI contributed and where its limits were set.
What the person identified as unacceptable or uncertain.
What the human committed to review or revisit.
A position recorded before the outcome can be distinguished from an account added afterwards.

Article 14 Relevance

Article 14 of the EU AI Act requires effective human oversight for high-risk AI systems. Application timing for high-risk obligations follows the updated EU AI Act timetable.

A reviewable judgment record is the evidence layer that makes oversight examinable — not just asserted.

What This Is Not

≠ Proof that the human made the right decision ≠ Compliance certification ≠ A score or rating ≠ A legal defence by itself ≠ A requirement that humans overrule AI recommendations
