As organizations deploy artificial intelligence at scale, failures are no longer hypothetical?they are inevitable. AI Incident Response for Leaders provides executives with a clear, practical framework to prepare for, respond to, and recover from AI-related incidents.

This book focuses on the executive responsibilities surrounding AI failures, including governance gaps, operational disruption, reputational impact, legal exposure, and regulatory scrutiny. It explains how AI incidents differ from traditional cybersecurity events and why leadership readiness is critical.

Readers will learn:

• How to recognize early warning signs of AI system failures • Executive roles during detection, containment, and escalation • How to coordinate effectively with SOC, legal, compliance, and communications teams • What boards and regulators expect during AI-related incidents • How to manage public messaging and internal accountability • Post-incident governance actions to prevent repeat failures

Written in an authoritative yet calm tone, this book serves as an executive playbook for navigating AI incidents with clarity, confidence, and control?before technical issues become leadership crises.
