Having humans in the loop helps ensure AI produces high quality work

Published: 27 March 2026

A majority of young people fear that AI will displace them in the workplace, and entry-level jobs in AI-affected sectors are already in decline.

While there are a lot of things AI can do, there still needs to be a human in the loop, Simon Blanchette told Radio-Canada.

“Humans need to be there at the beginning and the end of a process to verify a machine’s work,” says Blanchette (BCom’14), Faculty Lecturer at ɬ﷬ Desautels.  “It’s not a brake on productivity, but a guarantee of quality.”
