The premise
AI can take a system context and draft an incident response plan covering detection, triage, mitigation, and disclosure for AI failures.
What AI does well here
- Produce a runbook with severity tiers and on-call structure
- Draft user-communication templates per severity
What AI cannot do
- Make the actual call to roll back or pause a system
- Replace post-incident review by humans

- 1Ask AI to explain incident response in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "AI and AI Incident Response Plans: When Models Misbehave" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check AI safety against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
