3. The oversight measures shall be commensurate with the risks, level of autonomy and context of use of the high-risk AI system, and shall be ensured through either one or both of the following types of measures: (a) measures identified and built, when technically feasible, into the high-risk AI system by the provider before it is placed on the market or put into service; (b) measures identified by the provider before placing the high-risk AI system on the market or putting it into service and that are appropriate to be implemented by the deployer. 4. For the purpose of implementing paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, the high-risk AI system shall be provided to the deployer in such a way that natural persons to whom human oversight is assigned are enabled, as appropriate and proportionate: (a) to properly understand the relevant capacities and limitations of the high-risk AI system and be able to duly monitor its operation, including in view of detecting and addressing anomalies, dysfunctions and unexpected performance; (b) to remain aware of the possible tendency of automatically relying or over-relying on the output produced by a high-risk AI system (automation bias), in particular for high-risk AI systems used to provide information or recommendations for decisions to be taken by natural persons; (c) to correctly interpret the high-risk AI system's output, taking into account, for example, the interpretation tools and methods available; (d) to decide, in any particular situation, not to use the high-risk AI system or to otherwise disregard, override or reverse the output of the high-risk AI system; (e) to intervene in the operation of the high-risk AI system or interrupt the system through a 'stop' button or a similar procedure that allows the system to come to a halt in a safe state.

Verified · last checked Settled, with the evidence a claim at this level needs.
Under the EU AI Act, human oversight of a high-risk system is ensured through measures built into the system by the provider, or measures the provider identifies as appropriate for the deployer to implement, or both. The system must be provided to the deployer so that the people assigned to oversee it are enabled, as appropriate and proportionate, to understand its relevant capacities and limitations and monitor its operation, including detecting and addressing anomalies, dysfunctions and unexpected performance; to remain aware of automation bias; to correctly interpret its output; to decide in any particular situation not to use it or to disregard, override or reverse its output; and to intervene in its operation or interrupt it so that it comes to a halt in a safe state.
At a glance
The statement laid out, in its own words. The statement above and its sources are what count.
Two kinds of oversight measure (Article 14(3))
- Built into the system by the provider, when technically feasible
- Identified by the provider as appropriate for the deployer to implement
What the overseers must be enabled to do (Article 14(4))
- (a) understand capacities and limitations, and monitor operation, including anomalies, dysfunctions and unexpected performance
- (b) remain aware of automation bias
- (c) correctly interpret the output
- (d) decide not to use the system, or disregard, override or reverse its output
- (e) intervene in its operation or interrupt it
