AI Systems Fail Reliably on Rare and Ambiguous Inputs

Executive Summary
AI systems produce unreliable outputs when encountering corner cases, including rare or ambiguous input data outside standard training distributions. Without controlled response protocols for such scenarios, operational failures will occur unpredictably and governance frameworks cannot guarantee safe system behaviour.
