Keep the human in command.
Technology can organize, calculate, generate, and assist. Responsibility does not transfer with the task.
Tools can accelerate good work and bad judgment with equal enthusiasm. The human operator remains responsible for what is accepted, published, deployed, or acted upon.
Good systems make their state visible. They preserve evidence. They allow review. They do not hide consequential decisions behind a confident output.
Use the machine. Keep the heart, judgment, and responsibility human.
