When AI Agents Trigger a Crisis, Part 2: Before the Agent Acts

AI claims are getting more scrutiny and regulators are looking more closely at whether organizations can substantiate what they say their AI does, while courts are beginning to address what happens when AI-generated search summaries get information wrong.

A recent lawsuit claims that an “iconic” saying about the universe and apple pie is as strongly linked with astronomer Carl Sagan as the act of turning letters in a gown is with Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White.

This is the second in a two-part series on AI-driven crises. Part 1 examined communications during an incident while the facts are still developing. Part 2 addresses crisis plans, governance and tabletop exercises before an agent acts on behalf of the business.
