How HumanLayer fits into existing frameworks

Regulatory compliance

HumanLayer is designed to be compatible with:

  • human accountability requirements
  • traceability obligations
  • separation of duties principles
  • audit and justification requirements

It does not replace regulatory obligations:

๐Ÿ‘‰ it makes them applicable in the AI era.

AI Act (EU)

HumanLayer is aligned with key principles:

  • effective human oversight
  • transparency
  • traceability
  • clear accountability

It provides:

  • real human oversight (not cosmetic)
  • audit-ready evidence
  • clear decision attribution

No.

HumanLayer:

  • does not make automated decisions
  • does not issue final recommendations
  • does not exercise autonomous judgment

๐Ÿ‘‰ It is a human orchestration infrastructure, not a decision engine.

Supporting regulators

It allows precise answers to:

  • "Who decided?"
  • "On what basis?"
  • "With what information?"
  • "At what time?"

๐Ÿ‘‰ Without post-hoc reconstruction.

Audit

Oui.

HumanLayer can provide:

  • decision exports
  • access logs
  • governance rules
  • applied policies

Terms are defined contractually with clients.

Multiple jurisdictions

HumanLayer:

  • identifies the applicable jurisdiction for each decision
  • restricts access to locally authorized Sentinels
  • adapts rules to the legal framework

๐Ÿ‘‰ A decision is always rendered within a valid jurisdictional framework.

In one sentence:
HumanLayer does not create a regulatory gray zone.
It clarifies those that AI makes inevitable.
