AI errors implicating real people destroy trust fast. The playbook: detect, disclose within hours, correct everywhere, compensate concretely — with ownership assigned before launch.

When AI errs publicly, the response is the brand. False outputs implicating real people destroy trust faster than any competitor. What matters is not perfection — it is the speed, honesty, and structure of the correction. Have the playbook before you need it.
Detect, disclose, correct, compensate. Monitoring that catches issues, disclosure within hours not weeks, corrections pushed everywhere the error traveled, and concrete amends to those harmed. Vague apologies compound damage; specific remedies rebuild.
Red-team for defamation and harm before launch. Adversarial testing for false claims about real people, guardrails on sensitive outputs, human review on high-stakes actions. Safety work done early is cheap; done after an incident, it is existential.
Trust is a feature with an on-call rotation. Assign ownership for AI incidents like uptime incidents: who gets paged, who decides, who speaks. The question is never whether something goes wrong — it is whether you were ready.
