Thought for the week: Preparing for AI incidents
A commentary from IAPP addresses how organizations should prepare for incidents involving AI systems. The piece focuses on readiness and response planning as AI becomes more embedded in consequential decisions.
Why this matters: AI incidents are coming. The only real variable is whether organizations have thought through what to do before one happens. Right now, most have not. Incident response plans built for data breaches do not map cleanly onto an AI system that made thousands of wrong calls, or one that was manipulated, or one that nobody can fully explain. The people most affected by those failures need someone to be accountable. That is harder when the response plan does not exist yet.
