Artificial intelligence now shapes what people see, what institutions decide, which opportunities are granted or denied, and how truth is contested in public life. The Human Override argues that no artificial or automated system should possess final, unreviewable authority over a consequential human decision. Across forty-five chapters, Will Jenkins Sr. examines hidden algorithmic decisions, deepfakes, manufactured memory, synthetic companionship, labor displacement, automated justice, surveillance, public recording, First Amendment auditors, childhood privacy, political manipulation, and the growing power of machine-mediated government. The book shows how efficiency, prediction, and convenience can weaken due process, human judgment, privacy, accountability, and the ability to correct a false record. The Human Override also presents a practical framework for action. It proposes a Human Override Charter, impact assessments, audits, remedies, an enforcement authority, a public registry, procurement and competency standards, emergency-stop requirements, a model act, institutional implementation guidance, and an evidence-based certification system. Written for readers, policymakers, educators, advocates, professionals, and institutions, this book offers a clear doctrine for the age of artificial intelligence: technology may assist human judgment, but it must never become an unchallengeable authority over human life.
