Consensus Brief

AI researchers argue that current practices designed to keep humans in the loop for decision-making in AI systems are failing, leading to a disconnect between users and AI agents. The authors, including Avijit Ghosh from Hugging Face, emphasize that this disconnect could result in users losing essential cognitive capacities needed to control AI. They suggest that introducing friction in human-AI interactions could help mitigate these issues.
