Regulators

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:

👉 it makes them applicable in the AI era.

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

👉 It is a human orchestration infrastructure, not a decision engine.

It allows precise answers to:

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

👉 Without post-hoc reconstruction.

Yes.

HumanLayer can provide:

• decision exports
• access logs
• governance rules
• routing and escalation rules applied

Terms are defined contractually with clients.

HumanLayer:

• records the jurisdiction you state in each request (jurisdiction field)
• then only assigns it to a Sentinel who declared that jurisdiction; otherwise the request waits rather than going outside the jurisdiction
• applies no jurisdiction filter if you don’t state one

👉 Always state the jurisdiction when the legal framework requires it.
