AI System Audit — 5 Critical Risks Nobody Monitors

CRITICAL

1. Data Drift — The Model Was Living in the Past

Trained on 2021 data, making predictions in 2026. Accuracy degrading 2% per month with zero monitoring to catch it. Most companies are in this exact situation.

Full report includes: PSI monitoring setup, retraining pipeline design, data freshness SLA template

HIGH

2. Feedback Loop Amplification — Self-Reinforcing Blind Spots

The recommendation engine only showed popular content, making it more popular. Diversity collapsed. False negatives increased in areas the model stopped examining.

Full report includes: Diversity metrics, epsilon-greedy injection, counterfactual logging guide

HIGH

3. Shadow Decision Boundaries — Unauthorized Proxy Rules

The credit model was effectively denying applicants from specific zip codes. Nobody authorized this — correlated features created a de facto discriminatory policy.

Full report includes: SHAP/LIME analysis walkthrough, fairness monitoring setup, governance board template

CRITICAL

4. Cascade Failure Propagation — Errors That Compound Silently

A 5% error in an upstream model caused 40% error downstream. Model-to-model dependencies with zero monitoring at handoff points.

Full report includes: Circuit breaker patterns, model SLA framework, graceful degradation design

CRITICAL

5. Adversarial Vulnerability — Exploitable Blind Spots

Small input perturbations flipped model decisions with 95%+ success rate. Attackers don't need model access — just feature understanding.

Full report includes: Adversarial training pipeline, anomaly detection at decision boundaries, red team schedule
