Episode notes
False Positives Kill Trust Fast
- Users have very low tolerance for false positives in observability alerts and quickly turn off systems that give wrong signals.
- Precision must be extremely high for AI tools in operations compared to other domains like security.
Build Confidence With Low Recall
- Start AI-powered observability with use cases where you can achieve very high precision and lower recall to build user confidence.
- Focus automation on well-understood corner cases before expanding to broader incidents.
Automation Is Key To AI Success
- Automating action in observability is critical for AI to prove its value and avoid excessive human intervention.
- Workflow automation and internal operational apps can close the loop on observability insights.
