Failure, Recovery, and Continuity in the AI-Enabled Enterprise
AI resilience explores how the enterprise responds when AI systems fail, degrade, or behave unexpectedly — and how quickly the enterprise can recover, rollback, or continue operations.
As AI becomes part of critical operations, the enterprise must be prepared for AI failure — not just individual model errors, but cascading automation failures, agent failures, and third-party dependency failures.

- • Crisis decision authority
- • Mission impact
Crisis Decision Authority
When AI systems fail in critical operations, who has the authority to intervene? Who can suspend the AI? Who can execute a rollback? Crisis decision authority must be defined before it is needed.
