Course lesson · Lesson 12
Human Judgment and Cognitive Stewardship
Keep human judgment where consequence and accountability live, guarding against automation bias and de-skilling.
What you'll take away
- Keep five domains human — strategic framing, ethical trade-offs, permission to act, reflective review, and accountability.
- Recognize automation bias and de-skilling as governance vulnerabilities, not just personal habits.
- Audit a workflow for quiet authority drift — where the system gained more influence than intended.
- Design review rhythms that preserve judgment, not merely preserve process.
