Automation Without Illusion

Create a framework for evaluating technologies that can assist humans in high-stakes settings without replacing human accountability. Focus on systems that appear intelligent but still depend on user judgment, oversight, and clear fallback procedures. Discuss how product design, regulation, liability, training, and interface warnings should change when a system can make serious mistakes if people assume it is more capable than it really is. End by proposing practical rules for safer deployment in transportation, medicine, and other critical domains.
