A Blueprint for Keeping Humans in Control of AI: Inside Stanford’s Two Oversight Papers
Stanford GSB researchers William Overman and Mohsen Bayati have published two frameworks for keeping humans in control of AI agents: the Oversight Game, which teaches an agent when to ask and a human when to step in, and Calibrated Collective Oversight, which lets weaker overseers hold a stronger model to a target rate of unsafe actions. We read both papers, set their numbers against the press summary, and turn them into a deployment blueprint.
