Checking AI's work is a shrinking job; redesign the work instead

In HBR, Sangeet Paul Choudary argues that assigning people to review AI output is a weak long-term role, because the cases that need a human thin out as the systems improve and reviewers' skills and attention fade with them. On Monday, take one workflow where someone signs off on AI output, ask what problem it can now solve that it couldn't before, then move that person toward the higher-value decision and build the routine checks into the system itself.
