The premise
AI can draft user-facing AI incident disclosure letters that explain what happened, who is affected, and what changes next.
What AI does well here
- Translate technical postmortems into plain-language user letters
- Generate FAQ entries pairing the letter against likely user questions
What AI cannot do
- Verify the actual sequence of events in your incident timeline
- Decide which jurisdictions require formal regulator notification
