The Human Oversight Protocol
A high-risk system cannot run unsupervised. The Human Oversight Protocol names who watches it, when they intervene, and how that is recorded.
Updated May 2026
What it is
A per-system protocol setting out who is responsible for overseeing a high-risk system, what they watch for, when they step in or stop it, and how their oversight is recorded. It sits under Articles 14 and 26. For the background, see the Article 14 guide.
When it applies
Once per confirmed high-risk system. The person named has to be able to understand the system well enough to catch problems and act, so name someone real, not a job title nobody owns.
How to generate it
Generate it from Documents, choosing the high-risk system it covers. Review it to name the actual person and the points at which they intervene.
