// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Human in the Loop
A system design where human intelligence is integrated into the AI workflow, often for validation, correction, or decision-making.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Human in the Loop (HITL) is an AI development and deployment paradigm where human intelligence is actively incorporated into the machine learning workflow, typically for tasks such as data labeling, model validation, error correction, or critical decision-making, to improve performance and ensure safety.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
