Agent Down: AI Agent Failure

At a glance

Agent Down: AI Agent Failure is a simulation from iluminr in the AI Risk category for Technology & Security, Operations and Risk. It tests how your team protects aI-enabled operations, with indicative mapping to NIST AI RMF, EU DORA and Interagency Third-Party Guidance.

A forward-thinking Microsimulation that explores the potential impacts and response priorities associated with agentic AI in critical services.

What it tests

  • Identify the potential impacts when an agentic AI system supporting a critical service fails.
  • Set response priorities, including when to bring human decision-makers back into the loop.
  • Validate escalation, ownership and communication for AI-driven disruptions.
