Operational oversight ensures that human control over AI systems remains effective throughout production operation. The six-level oversight pyramid defines escalating oversight responsibilities from technical monitoring through AI system operators, product management, compliance functions, executive leadership, and external oversight. Break-glass procedures provide emergency controls for system shutdown, fallback activation, and regulatory notification. Escalation without reprisal establishes reporting channels and whistleblower protections. AI literacy addresses the Article 4 obligation for operator competence. Continuous oversight governance maintains oversight effectiveness over time. Oversight across boundaries addresses multi-deployer and cross-organisational oversight. Oversight fatigue countermeasures prevent degradation of human review quality. Portfolio scaling manages oversight across multiple AI systems. Corporate governance integration embeds AI oversight into existing board and committee structures. The section concludes with oversight artefacts.
Note: This section corresponds to the Operational Oversight section and feeds primarily into AISDP Module 7 (Human Oversight).
