Every monitoring vendor is selling smarter algorithms, but regulated environments run on a different currency: accountability. 

This guide separates what AI genuinely does well from what it fundamentally can't do, like weighing context or standing behind a decision in an audit. Using real-world excursion scenarios, it shows how over-automated systems create alert fatigue, liability gaps, and black-box records that fall apart under regulatory scrutiny. 

You'll come away with a practical framework, plus the questions to ask any monitoring vendor, for keeping qualified people at the center of every critical decision.
