    Human-in-the-Loop AI: When to Let the Agent Run and When to Stop It (2026)

    Most AI agent failures aren't model failures — they're gate failures. Someone gave an agent write access, delete access, or send access without deciding upfront which of those actions required a human checkpoint. This guide gives you the framework to fix that.
