AI Incident Management and Organisational Response
Inquiry This course is not yet bookable.
Design a process for AI incidents, from reporting and limiting use through business review and a possible restart. Follow up decisions already influenced by an incorrect output.
In the course case, a system wrongly recommends rejecting an application and the recommendation is adopted in two decisions. Preserve the outputs and decision records, initiate a review of both cases and establish who informs affected people where necessary. For a restart, specify investigation of the cause, review of comparable cases and a documented test.
Set out who in the business and operations handles the incident, what evidence is needed and how a restart is decided. Use anonymised organisational information or the example case; technical remediation remains with the relevant specialists. A planned source and handover aid keeps reports, open questions and follow-up assignments together for further work.

Return to service and monitoring
Your result
Your incident and restart checklist and worked case record help you trace affected decisions and check the conditions for a restart.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of an existing or planned AI application and its business responsibility. For your own case, access to approved information within a defined scope is sufficient; sensitive incident records are not required, and an example case is provided.
Format and approach
Planned self-study with 5–6 hours of work, case decisions and explanatory self-checks; no facilitated live session.
After a cyberattack, several business processes need to resume. Develop a recovery plan with a sequence, release conditions and fallback routes. In the case, revise the sequence when data has been manipulated.
An AI system sorts applications. An incorrect rejection can leave an eligible application unprocessed. Test whether a second professional review catches that error before dispatch, and prepare a control sheet for your own use case.
Create a first continuity plan for a critical process in your organisation. Define the minimum service needed during a disruption, its dependencies and the steps for recovery. The plan records responsibilities, assumptions and open decisions for discussion with the process owner.
