A New Principle in Software Testing: Human Control Over AI to Ensure Safety and Reliability

I recently published a preprint titled “A New Principle in Software Testing: Human Control over AI to Ensure Safety and Reliability” on Zenodo. It explores the critical role of human oversight in AI-driven software testing.

While AI has revolutionized automation and efficiency in testing, exclusive reliance on AI can pose significant risks. The paper discusses real-world examples, such as accidents involving autonomous vehicles and misdiagnoses in AI healthcare tools, to highlight the importance of combining human intuition with AI capabilities.

This balanced approach ensures not only technical accuracy but also ethical and reliable outcomes in software testing.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights on this!

I definitely agree there should be human touch in any AI-driven activity. Same as with going to the office or not - the best IMO is hybrid.

In AI, it can and does produce insanely valuable outputs, however someone needs to oversee that. I’d say that’s common logic but we lost so much of it since the covid…
