HITL is becoming increasingly common in many industries, from healthcare to finance to transportation. It’s also used in the video game world, where game designers adjust the behaviors of non-player characters (that are controlled by AI) to ensure they provide appropriate responses and challenges to players.

Another major advantage of HITL is that it can help mitigate the risks associated with AI. For example, if an AI-powered system makes a factual mistake, a human can correct it. This can ensure that AI systems are used safely and ethically. While it is a promising approach, it has several challenges, ranging from how expensive they are to human error and the difficulty of scaling to larger data sets.

But as technology advances, it augments the need for human capabilities rather than replacing them. This makes HITL a necessity in fields where accuracy, reliability, and human judgment are paramount.
