Lab — Assemble the AI System Defense
Open the AI System Defense Lab.
Choose an input type, deployment placement, and human-control state. Then inject each incident:
- input drift;
- low confidence;
- network loss;
- sensor outlier.
For each incident, compare the simulator's suggested response with the architecture you would actually defend.
If network loss breaks a cloud-only path, a bounded conclusion is:
The simulated cloud dependency became unavailable and the defined response stopped cloud-dependent inference. This demonstrates the chosen failure rule in the simulator; it does not prove a real hosted service, network, or device will fail identically.
Build your defense table
For every test, capture:
| Test | Evidence | Safeguard/fallback | Retest | Remaining limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| normal | ||||
| boundary | ||||
| failure | ||||
| recovery |
The table is more important than a dramatic demo. It forces the system story to stay attached to evidence.
