Document the incident details: timestamp, model behavior, inputs, outputs.
Isolate the affected model or system to prevent further issues.
Analyze the root cause of the model's failure.
Implement immediate mitigation strategies.
Develop and deploy long-term fixes or safeguards.
Conduct a post-incident review to improve future responses.

What it does and when to use it

This checklist outlines a structured approach to responding to AI model safety incidents. It covers documenting the event, isolating the system, analyzing the cause, implementing fixes, and conducting a review to enhance future safety protocols.

Why it works

A systematic process ensures that incidents are handled thoroughly, minimizing immediate harm and improving the AI system's robustness against future failures.

When not to use it

Not applicable for routine AI operations without incidents.
