AI Looping
Definition
When AI outputs are fed back into AI — or repeated through the same flawed process — so errors and assumptions get amplified instead of caught. The system keeps confidently circling the same mistake.
Example
AI drafts a report, another tool summarizes it, a third acts on it — and no human ever checks the original source.
How to Think About It
Source of truth + a human checkpoint before output becomes input
