This position paper argues that current AI agent designs actively undermine effective human oversight, as the cognitive skills required for it degrade with extended automation use. The authors urge treating human overseer needs as equally important as AI capability, proposing design-level affordances and organizational protocols to support critical judgment and counteract skill atrophy.
Background
As AI agents gain autonomy in critical applications, ensuring effective human oversight has become a central concern in AI safety research, prompting proposals like "human-in-the-loop" frameworks.
