Abstract

 The term "human control" of autonomous systems has been replaced with 
"human oversight" of artificial intelligence, which is the topic of this article, which 
investigates the recent change in focus that has been taking place. While the first 
concept has been widely discussed in international legal talks for close to ten years, the 
second concept is the word that is being used in the European Union's most recent 
proposal for an artificial intelligence act. After that, the paper delves into the concepts 
of "control" and "human oversight" in relation to the European Union Artificial 
Intelligence Act. It places these concepts within the larger context of the Act, and it 
highlights both the shortcomings of the Act as well as potential solutions to enhance it.
