When AI Agents Become Colleagues

Two ways to keep humans in charge of AI: reviewing individual decisions (human-in-the-loop) versus setting the rules the system runs under (governance-in-the-loop).

A template for deciding which AI decisions need a human in the loop, and which can safely run on their own.

The Workflow Orchestration Riddle
Five AI agents must complete a project with dependencies:
- Agent A and B can work simultaneously (2 hours each)
- Agent C can only start after A finishes (3 hours)
- Agent D can only start after B finishes (1 hour)
- Agent E can only start after both C and D finish (2 hours)
What’s the minimum time to complete the project, and what’s the critical path?
Answer at the foot of the issue ↓
The Workflow Orchestration Riddle
7 hours total. Critical path: A (2 hrs) → C (3 hrs) → E (2 hrs). Agent B and D can run in parallel with this sequence without affecting the total time.
