Override

As explained in The Art of AI Product Development

A manual override is a user-provided change that supersedes or adjusts an automated system output.

A manual override lets users adjust an automated forecast when it conflicts with local knowledge or real-world conditions. It gives them control while preserving feedback for later system improvement. section 12.3.2

A practical override workflow includes:

  • Spot errors by comparing predictions with historical patterns and local knowledge. section 12.3.2
  • Address errors by making a manual adjustment when the forecast does not match user insight. section 12.3.2
  • Report errors through mechanisms such as Flag for Review so feedback can inform later updates. section 12.3.2

A planner corrects a forecast

A planner notices that a forecast diverges from local conditions, adjusts it manually, and flags the issue for review. The feedback is considered during a later fine-tuning round. section 12.3.2

How The Art of AI Product Development covers it

How deep it goes
Explains how to spot, adjust, and report forecast errors, but does not detail override implementation.
Examples
Demonstrates adjusting a forecast when it conflicts with local insight and flagging the problem for review.
What it assumes
Assumes users can compare predictions with historical patterns or local knowledge; teaches them to recognize mismatches.
What you can do after
Apply it by adjusting mismatched predictions and reporting errors through the forecasting interface.
How it connects
Connects manual overrides with anomaly detection, feedback mechanisms, error reporting, and model updating.
