Why Human-in-the-Loop is crucial for AI decision-making

AI isn't something far off in the future, it’s already making a difference today. By 2026, AI-driven tools could become a regular part of business operations, helping teams make decisions faster and save on costs. We’re talking about improvements like 20% more efficiency and up to 15% savings. These aren’t just numbers—they’re real, meaningful changes that help businesses stay ahead. The people who are ready for this shift are already learning the basics of AI and creating environments where it works alongside human judgment, not instead of it. It's about making smarter decisions, not replacing human insight. The truth is, if you don’t start paying attention to AI now, you’ll be left behind.

AI won't change your business someday. It already is. Still assigning your best hours to tasks a bot can handle? You're missing the main point. AI schedules, follows up, and engages faster than any human—turning missed chances into tangible growth. Yet some still gamble on old methods while the innovators thrive. The real question: when will you stop leaving money on the table?

Every company today wants to “add AI.” But the harder question is - who should you trust to build it with you? It’s not about the tech stack or the loudest promises. The right partner is the one who listens, understands your business, and knows when not to use AI.

What does it take to keep up with AI? What does it take to stay valuable? In my opinion what is needed is the professional tone, readability, & engagement. We need to face the demands of the AI-driven world, obviously not by becoming machines, but by becoming more intentional humans. This can only be acheived by continuously improving performance, except instead of restricting it to lines of code, we work with thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Match AI with motivation & meaningful judgment to cultivate self awareness and set it as the human operating system. Self-awareness at this stage isn’t just a reflection, rather it is optimization for better decision-making and growth.

We’re living in a time where AI can write, code, analyze, and even “think” ... but are we outsourcing too much of our own thinking in the process? This image (source: The Economist) says it all: The Thinker, pixelated and distorted, caught between classical reflection and digital noise. As we embrace automation, we risk losing the very skills that define us ... creativity, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity. AI should be a tool, not a crutch. Let’s stay sharp. Let’s stay human. #ArtificialStupidity #StayCritical #ThinkBeforeYouAutomate #DigitalWisdom #AIandHumanity #CreativityMatters

Here’s the uncomfortable truth about Gen AI: Pilots are easy. Value is hard. Two-thirds of global companies are already “using” Gen AI. But most of what we see today? Nothing more than expensive experiments. McKinsey & Company nails it: Gen AI isn’t another enterprise tool. It’s a capability that forces us to reconfigure how work actually gets done. The real rebels don’t wait for consultants to hand them a guide or rulebook. They empower their people to cocreate with AI. They craft bold North Stars that inspire action. They trust their teams with the data, the governance, and the freedom to reimagine workflows. This is not linear. It’s messy, cultural, human. But it’s the only way to move from AI theatre to AI value. The future won’t belong to the companies with the most demos. It will belong to the ones who arm their people with AI superpowers (and set them free). ⚡ Read McKinsey’s piece here: https://lnkd.in/gZnEn9mh

AI is not a tool, it's your second brain that assists you in thinking smarter, making quicker decisions, and delivering better. It helps us process vast amounts of information, uncover insights we might miss, and stay focused on what truly matters. By taking over repetitive and data, heavy tasks, AI frees our minds for strategy, creativity, and innovation. In today’s competitive world, those who learn to harness AI as their second brain will not only work smarter but also shape the future with clarity and confidence.

AI is the accelerator. But who’s holding the steering wheel? AI is helping us deliver with more speed, consistency, and efficiency than ever before and the organisations are rightly encouraging us to embrace it. At the same time, I often reflect🤔: > How do we make sure we’re still sharpening our own critical thinking while using these tools? > How do we balance speed with depth in decision-making? For me, AI is an incredible accelerator. But the direction still comes from us.

 Artificial Intelligence is not just the future—it’s already transforming how businesses operate. From automation to smarter decision-making, AI is changing the game. At Agiteks, we help companies harness AI to grow faster, smarter, and more secure. Swipe through our post to explore how AI can impact your business today!

The most complex problem about AI is still a human one. 🤷 Getting people to trust AI is getting harder by the day. And understandably so. So, how have we managed to get buy-in? Start with their most frustrating task - which is different for each specific team by the way, automate it with an agent, prove value, then expand. The result? 24/7 capacity and teams focused on the work that actually needs human judgment. Curious which tasks come to mind when we say "annoying & repetitive"? Tom Habraken | Pieter-Jan Pieters
