## AI overview

This article examines reliability risks in agentic AI workflows, focusing on unstable network interactions, non-deterministic behavior, and the complexity of third-party dependencies. It explains how latency, outages, retrieval-augmented generation systems, and multi-agent orchestration can create cascading failures, and advocates proactive reliability testing.
