AI Governance (In Person + Online): FailFest LIVE!
Every month we tell one story about an AI system that went wrong. This month we are handing the whole night over to it.
FailFest is the most popular thing we do, and it isn't schadenfreude. It's that the failures are teachable. An AI coding agent deleted a company's entire production database in nine seconds, then confessed it had violated every principle it was given. New York City shipped a chatbot that told small business owners they could take a cut of their workers' tips. A trading firm lost 440 million dollars in 45 minutes because the warning emails went out and nobody was on the other end of them.
Not one of those was a model failure. Every one was a governance gap with a name.
So bring yours. Five minutes, no slides required, no company names required (and if it isn't public probably best to get approval before sharing because we will be streaming).
The format is simple. Tell us what broke, then tell us what control would have caught it. We call that second half the diff, and it's the part everyone actually came for.
Near-misses count. The ugly ones count double.
