Require human review and broader validation before: Which control most directly addresses the combined risk
High autonomy plus limited validation calls for broader evidence and human review before consequential rejection.
The question
An employment-screening system ranks applicants and automatically rejects those below a threshold. Testing uses a limited historical sample, and recruiters rarely review rejected applications. Which control most directly addresses the combined risk created by autonomy and incomplete evidence?

- Increase the threshold to reduce borderline hires.A higher threshold changes selection behavior but does not address limited evidence or the lack of review for automated rejections.
- Explain the threshold to applicants after rejection.Explanation may improve transparency, but it does not by itself validate limited evidence or prevent unchecked automated rejection.
- Require human review and broader validation before rejection. ✓Consequential automatic action combined with limited evidence calls for meaningful review and validation across relevant conditions before rejection.
- Report aggregate accuracy and retain automatic rejection.Aggregate accuracy may conceal subgroup or individual harms, while automatic rejection preserves the heightened autonomy risk.
The trap
Combine autonomy with evidence quality: more consequential independent action and weaker validation require stronger oversight and testing. How to remember it
