Principle 08
AI advises; humans remain accountable.
Automation can increase judgment. It should not erase responsibility for consequential decisions.
Explanation
AI can advise, explain, model, surface risks, compare options, state confidence, and record reasoning. High-impact decisions still require legitimate authority and human accountability.
Example
A recommendation system may compare scenarios, but the responsible leader must understand the evidence and own the final choice.
Practical implication
Record who decides, what advice was considered, and why the final action was chosen.
