AI failures are not edge cases. They are the steady state of systems shipped at scale. A single incident can be catastrophic, and the only way to prevent the next one is to know what the last one looked like.
The eight failure modes we track
Every entry is classified by the mechanism that broke inside the model, not just the outcome. That is the part no other tracker explains.
