AI Generalization: Did Your Model Learn the Right Pattern?

This article examines AI generalization for enterprise incident-triage assistants, arguing that reproducing familiar answers is not enough. It proposes testing whether models preserve recommendations under irrelevant changes, reconsider them when relevant evidence changes, and flag missing evidence. It covers shortcut learning, data leakage, ambiguous historical resolutions, controlled incident variations, reviewable scoring rubrics, and release criteria that prevent strong averages from hiding consequential failures.
