Humans in the loop only works as a safeguard if the humans know they are in one. Right now, across industries, most of them do not.

Mohit Rajhans points to a coffee chain that pulled its AI automation entirely after customers got wrong information because no one was checking the inventory. That is not a fringe failure. Businesses are deploying AI faster than they are training the people responsible for it.

Tech workers have been getting laid off recently after spending months teaching AI systems everything those systems now know. The question Rajhans is asking is a hard one: how do you stay irreplaceable when you did not even know you were being replaced?
