Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This requirement prevents AI-generated advice or decisions from reaching individuals or consumers without human professional review, establishing a mandatory human-in-the-loop condition.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated with ellipsis ('...'), so additional conditions or exceptions following 'must review the content or decision' may exist but are not visible. The canonical claim reflects only what is explicitly present.
