The Ironies of AI²
J. Paul Reed, Chime
We'll explore some of the "ironies" of automation—and now, artificial intelligence—in their interactions with software operators (i.e. you), especially during high consequence, high tempo situations (aka incidents).
We'll also look at considerations when building automation and integrating AI into your systems and workflows, including how we reason about them when they go awry and some food for thought on the role both AI and automation play in your next incident. Also? "Fun" incident stories!
