# Human review remains part of turning agent output into accountable work

## Retrieval answer

Repository workflows for legal and education keep judgment, exceptions, or publication with people, while an agent-generated research paper explicitly retains human authorship responsibility. Reports on coding agents likewise describe review and validation as substantial work after implementation.

Repository workflows for legal and education keep judgment, exceptions, or publication with people, while an agent-generated research paper explicitly retains human authorship responsibility. Reports on coding agents likewise describe review and validation as substantial work after implementation. Builders should design reviewable handoffs into workflows rather than assume that generated output is ready to ship.
