Confused by AI terms and not sure how they apply to humanitarian work? This practical guide with expertise from Data Friendly Space provides a beginner-friendly overview of “human-in-the-loop”.
This guide is designed to help humanitarians build human oversight into AI-supported work – and to support a culture of responsible AI use across teams and organisations.
It has been created as follow-up to the 2025-26 joint research initiative between the Humanitarian Leadership Academy and Data Friendly Space: Artificial intelligence in the humanitarian sector: mapping current practice and future potential.
Coming soon in Spanish and French!
Human-in-the-loop is only as strong as the culture and processes behind it.
