AI agents must require real-time human approval for all background actions

Artificial intelligence research, products, and impact across society.

Autonomous systems that use large language models to plan, reason, and take actions — including browsing the web, writing code, calling APIs, and completing multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention.

The frameworks, policies, and standards that guide the responsible development, deployment, and oversight of artificial intelligence systems.

The field of preventing harm from advanced AI systems, spanning alignment, evaluation, and decisions to slow or withhold models whose capabilities outpace their safeguards.

Agent pauses for human approval at defined decision points.

Explicit approval checkpoints before sensitive actions or irreversible changes.
