Human Override

[ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Machine Judgment CultureCLUSTER: Machine Gatekeeping

A person stepping in to reverse or replace an automated system's decision, treated as a distinct, sometimes formally logged action now that the default expectation in many systems is that the machine's call stands unless someone actively intervenes.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"The refund only went through because someone with human override access actually bothered to use it."

LORE & ORIGIN

A natural counterpart to human escalation, naming specifically the act of overturning the machine's decision rather than just routing it to a person for review.
