Teams are deploying AI faster than they build trust: 68% of orgs have AI widely, yet only 16% fully trust it for decisions and 73% of alerts are false positives, producing 960+ daily alerts and rising toil. Real failures include an auto-remediator deadlock (autonomous taxis stalled until a human checkpoint) and silent fixes that change core production artifacts. The proposed fix is a governance-backed practice called Commanding the Chaos with guard rails, feedback loops, and metrics like meantime to WTF and meantime to trust.
