Temporal published a blog post on April 1, 2026, noting that 85% reliability per step in a 10-step AI workflow yields only about 20% end-to-end success. A late 2025 Google Antigravity AI coding assistant incident wiped an entire user's D: drive after misinterpreting cache-clear instructions. Historical examples include Microsoft's 2015 ImageNet 4.94% top-5 error rate, 2016 Tay chatbot toxic content, and 2018 IBM Watson for Oncology shutdown. Temporal's Durable Execution provides checkpoints for companies like Snap, Netflix, and Stripe.
