The framing of "AI-related outages" is going to drive the wrong conversation. The question isn't whether the AI made a mistake — it's whether the review process, change controls, and blast radius gates were designed to handle agents acting at the speed and confidence of a senior engineer.
1,500 engineers flagged the tool wasn't ready. Leadership made adoption a KPI. Those two things together are the incident. The AI just executed.
When the process hasn't caught up to the blast radius the tooling can create, this is what you get. It's not new — Knight Capital, CrowdStrike — the pattern is always the same. Automation moves faster than governance.
