Will AI will create entirely new crisis problems?

If you’re worrying that AI will create entirely new crisis problems, it probably won’t.

What it will do is speed up the ones that already catch people out.

  • Rushing when pressure hits.
  • Becoming defensive instead of deliberate.
  • Sounding confident before the facts are clear.
  • Going quiet without being intentional about it.

Those behaviours existed long before the tools did. They just show up faster now.

In the short statement below, I’ve set out what I keep seeing repeated, regardless of sector or technology. Not as a prediction, but as an observation from how crises actually unfold when time is tight and judgement matters.

AI will not create new crisis mistakes, it will amplify the old ones…

Preparation still decides the outcome.

It always has.

The tools change.

The behaviour is what makes the difference.
