Human Oversight in Practice: Staying Meaningfully in the Loop
The practical course on being the human in the loop: what meaningful oversight of a high-risk AI system really demands, how to resist automation bias and stay genuinely critical, how to design oversight into a workflow so it holds under pressure and how to handle the hard cases and record your judgement as evidence. Four modules, each ending in a five-question assessment, roughly 78 minutes. Completing it is itself Article 4 evidence. Complements the AI Governance and oversight ethics courses rather than repeating them.
What you will be able to do
- Use AI tools with judgement, not guesswork, on real work tasks.
- Spot when a model is wrong, biased or making things up, and act on it.
- Handle data and privacy responsibly when you put information into AI.
- Explain your AI use clearly enough to satisfy a manager or an auditor.

How the course works
You start with a quick calibration that places you, then work through interactive modules at your own pace. Reading and exercises alternate, so you are never just watching. Where it helps, a live AI sandbox lets you practise against a real model and an always-on tutor checks your reasoning before you move on.
