Human Oversight

Technology serves people, not the reverse

Automation vs Oversight → Choose Oversight

We embrace technology as a tool, not a master. Every automated system includes human override capabilities. Every algorithm can be questioned by a person. When the computer says one thing and the community says another, we listen to the community. Ultimately, the Love Economy is powered by human relationships — technology just helps scale them.

How We Live This

Concrete ways Human Oversight shows up in our work.

Love Farm administrators provide human verification layer
TWGE admins can manually override any automated process
All manual actions are logged in the audit trail
Multi-admin approval required for significant changes
Community elders consulted on major decisions
Regular human review of automated processes

Human Oversight isn't just a principle we believe — it's a practice we embody every day.

On override design
