Gideon AwolesiWhen it goes to someone else
Anything the AI sends to a customer, a client, or the public should get a human look first. Once it's out, you can't take it back, and the person reading it has no idea an AI wrote it unless you tell them.
When it involves money, health, or the law
If a mistake would cost someone money, affect their health, or create a legal problem, a person has to check it. These are the places where the AI sounding confident and being wrong does real damage.
When you can't undo it
If the action can be undone easily, spot-check it. If it can't, like deleting data or sending something, check it every time, or design it so it can be undone.
When you can let it go
Drafts you'll rewrite, internal summaries, and sorting you can fix later don't need a line-by-line review. Spend your attention where a mistake costs something, and let the rest flow. That's how you avoid zoning out on the reviews that matter.
Design the review so people actually do it
If people have to read the whole output to find the one thing that matters, they'll stop reading properly. Show them what changed, highlight the parts that carry risk, and make approving and editing one click each.
