Make Sound Decisions Using AI as Input, Not Oracle
The most consequential AI failure mode is not a wrong answer but the gradual abdication of human judgment to AI recommendation. When professionals stop articulating their own reasoning and lose the willingness to override AI, they surrender the judgment that makes their work valuable. This capstone skill brings all other evaluation skills together under genuine human authority.

Override AI When Expertise or Ethics Demand It
Maintains the ability and willingness to reject AI suggestions when professional expertise or ethical judgment points in a different direction.

Mastering Human-Centered AI Decision-Making
A practitioner who excels here uses AI outputs as one input among multiple sources of evidence, never treating a recommendation as the decision itself. They can articulate their own reasoning in their own terms even when agreeing with AI, they readily override AI when expertise or ethics demand it, and they periodically audit whether their decision quality has improved or declined with AI use.
