Section 1
The premise
MLOps work succeeds when pipelines fail loudly and recover safely; AI can draft runbooks but cannot replace battle-tested operational judgment.
What AI does well here
- Draft a drift-alarm runbook with thresholds and owners.
- Generate an on-call handoff template from incident logs.
What AI cannot do
- Decide a rollback under live customer impact.
- Replace tenure-earned production intuition.
