A starting point for discussion
The idea
The author says the most promising response may combine a legal right and a real chance for people to have decisions checked by a person with technologies that help people understand or take part in decisions made by those systems.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
The author tentatively combines a practical chance to review decisions with improved human abilities, while presenting this as a proposal rather than a proven solution.
Proposals to improve people’s abilities and require human review have limits
Directly states the proposed combination of review rights and human-capacity technologies described by this narrative, retaining its tentative status.
People need to understand decisions before they can check them
Pairs formal review with practical ability to understand or engage with systems, rather than treating review rights alone as sufficient.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
Having decisions checked means people have both a right and a real chance to ask for a person to review them. The other part means using technology to help people take part, possibly through people working with technology.
Why it matters
The combination aims to limit systems whose decisions are hard to understand without leaving meaningful participation only to a small group with special knowledge.

Source coverage: Full readable text of the author manuscript from an accessible mirror; not the publisher typeset version. The passage presents this as a tentative proposal: review limits which systems can be used, while technologies that help people take part may reduce reliance on a small group with special knowledge.
