DISPATCHES / SOURCES & RESEARCH

SOURCE BACKBONE

VS006 uses a selected source backbone: human factors, automation bias, work-systems history, accountability, contestability, incident recovery, and AI governance references supporting the issue’s claims and applied tools.

  • Bainbridge, “Ironies of Automation” — Human oversight can degrade when work becomes passive monitoring of automated systems.
  • Endsley, situation awareness research — Meaningful review depends on visibility, time, context, and authority.
  • Parasuraman & Riley, automation use / misuse / disuse / abuse — Automation changes human reliance patterns rather than merely reducing work.
  • Braverman, Labor and Monopoly Capital — Work systems can separate execution from judgment and preserve ceremony after control moves elsewhere.
  • Noble, Forces of Production — Automation is also organizational power, not only technical improvement.
  • Lipsky, Street-Level Bureaucracy — Administrative systems allocate discretion, recourse, and consequence through workflow design.
  • Suchman, Plans and Situated Actions — Plans and diagrams are not equivalent to situated human action.
  • Perrow, Normal Accidents — Complex systems can produce failures that are difficult to foresee or isolate.
  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework — AI governance requires mapping, measurement, management, and accountability.
  • NIST incident response / recovery guidance — Repair requires verified remediation, closure, and recovery rather than symbolic acknowledgment.
  • EU AI Act / OECD AI principles / ISO AI management standards — Governance terrain supports transparency, accountability, contestability, and oversight obligations.
  • Human-machine interaction and trust calibration research — Interface signals can change operator confidence, reliance, and interpretation of failure.
