The problem with that is that when you move a human from a "doing" role to a "monitoring" role, their performance degrades significantly. Lisanne Bainbridge wrote a paper on this in 1982 (!!) called "Ironies of Automation"[1], it's impressive how applicable it is to AI applications today.

Overall Bainbridge recommends collaboration over monitoring for abnormal conditions.
