Amazon's security leadership is making a blunt case that the standard "human-in-the-loop" model—where humans review and approve AI decisions—breaks down in practice because attention spans collapse under volume and repetition. This directly challenges the regulatory consensus in the EU AI Act and Biden's executive order, both of which treat human oversight as a mandatory control. If Amazon's argument gains traction with regulators, governance could shift away from human gatekeeping toward algorithmic constraints, liability rules, or automated monitoring.
