1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This article reviews two main approaches to human control of AI systems: supervisory human control and human-machine teaming. It explores how each approach defines and guides the operational interplay between human behaviour and system behaviour to ensure that AI systems are effective throughout their deployment. Specifically, the article looks at how the two approaches differ in their conceptual and practical adequacy regarding the control of AI systems based on foundation models--i.e., models trained on vast datasets, exhibiting general capabilities, and producing non-deterministic behaviour. The article focuses on examples from the defence and security domain to highlight practical challenges in terms of human control of automation in general, and AI in particular, and concludes by arguing that approaches to human control are better served by an understanding of control as the product of collaborative agency in a multi-agent system rather than of exclusive human supervision.
