## AI overview

The article explains why resilient databases are important when AI systems write durable state into systems of record. It focuses on preserving correctness, availability, and durability under failure, scale, and geographic distribution, while identifying consistency, replication, and predictable behavior during partial failures as key requirements.

## Source excerpt

As AI systems become embedded in core business workflows, they increasingly interact directly with systems of record, turning model outputs into durable state changes.
