## AI overview

Chaos Engineering can uncover failure modes and help prevent outages, but organization-wide adoption may stall when expertise is concentrated in a small number of teams. The article recommends scaling the practice through standards, validation testing, and reporting so that reliability improvements extend beyond critical services.
