These weaknesses undermine AI governance plans relying on humans to catch errors, especially in high-stakes roles where review rigor is crucial. Organizations should assess and build these human competencies deliberately, aligning roles to verified skills and tracking quality separately from speed to maintain effective AI-augmented workflows.
