Episode 52 — Handle AI Incidents Well: Triage, Containment, Communication, and Recovery (Domain 2)
AI-related incidents require a specialized response plan that differs from traditional IT security because the failure might be behavioral rather than technical. This episode details the AI incident response lifecycle, starting with triage to determine the severity and nature of the failure—be it a security breach, a safety violation, or an ethical lapse. For the AAIR certification, you must understand the methods for containment, such as switching to a simplified fallback model or taking the system offline entirely to prevent further harm. We discuss the critical role of transparent communication with stakeholders and regulators, especially when the incident involves sensitive data or biased decision-making. Recovery involves not just restoring service, but performing a "post-mortem" to identify the root cause and implementing new controls to prevent a recurrence. By establishing a formal AI incident response playbook, organizations can minimize the duration and impact of failures, protecting both their operational continuity and their public reputation.
