AI resilience, continuity and exit planning
Security and Resilience
What is AI resilience, continuity and exit planning?
Plans for a vendor failure, an unsafe model change or a suspended service: rollback, manual fallback, data export and safe decommissioning.
Where the frameworks place it: DORA; NIS2; NIST AI RMF MANAGE 4.
