How It Works
Confidence gate
A rule that only lets an AI system act on its own when it is sure enough — for example, above a set confidence score. Below that line, the case is handed to a person or a slower check instead.
Origin · no single documented coiner
Borrowed from long-standing 'confidence threshold' practice in machine learning and quality control; the 'gate' wording is informal and has no single coiner.
