Episodic oversight in generative AI workflows: A nine-step protocol for preserving human agency (OP-9) — Taş et al. (2026)
Abstract Generative AI is embedded in everyday knowledge work, but we know little about how workers preserve human agency when large language models (LLM) output enters real deliverables. Drawing on 15 interviews in two early-adopting German tech firms and analysis of handbooks and workflow artifacts, we examine how professionals keep control and responsibility when LLM generate parts of their work. We focus on three phases where people step in: drafting with the AI, refining its output, and reviewing the final product with others. We derive a nine-step checklist that specifies what practices…
