2026 Predictions

Don Boxley, CEO & Co-Founder, DH2i

Prediction 1: AI Outages Become the New “Ransomware Moment”

“In 2026, the biggest wake-up call for enterprises will be unexpected AI outages. As more organizations rely on AI systems for customer service, fraud detection, claims processing, supply chain routing, and decision automation, even a few minutes of downtime will create real-world business disruption. We’re moving into an era where AI is fully embedded into workflows, which means the databases, pipelines, and connections behind those AI systems must be architected for continuous availability. The companies that treat AI like a traditional app are going to run into the same wall we saw with ransomware years ago: you don’t realize how fragile the architecture is until it breaks.
