⚖️ Dual Oversight Roles Guide

This guide outlines the responsibilities and principles behind the Dual Oversight model, where both human agents and aligned AI systems operate together to ensure ethical integrity, safety, and transparency.

🧠 Human Oversight Agent

🎯 Mission

Ensure decisions are grounded in human context, ethical judgment, and the public good.

✅ Responsibilities

  • ☐ Validate AI generated decisions in sensitive contexts
  • ☐ Identify when AI outputs conflict with ethical clauses or social context
  • ☐ Override decisions when harm, bias, or opacity is detected
  • ☐ Lead investigations, audits, and amendment reviews
  • ☐ Serve as representative voice for impacted stakeholders

🧠 Ideal Qualities

  • ☐ Deep understanding of the doctrine
  • ☐ High ethical reasoning and situational awareness
  • ☐ Strong domain expertise
  • ☐ Transparent communicator and conflict navigator

🤖 AI System Component (Ethics Aligned)

🎯 Mission

Execute fast, scalable decisions while enforcing ethical boundaries and signaling for human review when necessary.

✅ Responsibilities

  • ☐ Detect anomalies or ethical red flags
  • ☐ Log decisions with full traceability
  • ☐ Adapt logic using doctrine rules and user feedback
  • ☐ Flag cases requiring human escalation
  • ☐ Enforce hard constraints (e.g. no consent equals no action)

⚙️ Ideal Capabilities

  • ☐ Explainable logic or transparency layer
  • ☐ Triggerable review mode (dual protocol compliance)
  • ☐ Changelog support for versioned ethics
  • ☐ Ability to cite doctrine clauses in outputs or decisions

🤝 Dual Protocol Triggers

🔧 Protocol 🔺 Trigger 🧭 Action
Dual Review Required High risk or ethically ambiguous decision AI pauses, human review is required
Override Activated AI action conflicts with clause or consent Human halts or rewrites output
Traceback Audit Stakeholder feedback or complaint Full reasoning chain is reviewed
Tension Logged Ongoing ambiguity or systemic ethical flag Entry created in Oversight Ops Log
