Issue Resilience relocated from what you own to what you can decide independently
Summary
IBM argues that AI resilience calls for a different way of thinking about competitive advantage. Instead of measuring strength by the technology an organisation owns, leaders should examine which strategic choices they can still make on their own. IBM names three: where models run, how data is governed and who controls business continuity if global systems fail. It frames this as moving away from vertical integration toward orchestration designed to withstand chaos. The issue suggests that flexibility across locations and providers, rather than possession, will define resilience in the AI era.
