Trust AI Outputs or Require Human Review? Binary Business - BB-13
A hospital put a human review layer on every AI-generated patient summary. Six weeks later, reviewers were approving 97% without changes. One told me, "I stopped reading them after day three." That's not human oversight. That's a screensaver with a pulse.
In this episode, I break down when to trust AI outputs and when to require human review, including a four-rung "Trust Ladder" framework that tells you exactly how to scale oversight as AI performance improves.
What You'll Learn:
• Why humans are terrible reviewers of AI output (and the 4% error rate that ends careers)
• The editor getting paid $85/hour to change 11 words per article — "That's not quality control. That's an expensive ego edit."
• How an AI-generated contract clause got discovered during a deposition (the worst time to find out your AI made up law)
• Happy birthday, Karen — your compliance report is late because we were reviewing your cake emoji
• The senior manager who held proposals 48 hours so his "fingerprints" were on everything
• The Trust Ladder: Full review → Sampled → Exception → Audit (and how to define the criteria for climbing)
