What happens when an AI agent makes a mistake?

Operations, capacity and service. Straight answers, written for executives.

Short answer

The same thing that happens when a person does: the error is caught by a review or a control, corrected and traced to a cause. The difference is that every agent action is logged, so the cause is easier to find and the fix applies to every future case.

The longer answer

What to consider.

High-impact actions have human approval, so most errors are caught before they reach customers or the ledger.

When an error gets through, the case is added to the evaluation set so the fix is tested on every new version.

If errors rise above an agreed threshold, the agent drops to a lower autonomy level or is paused.
