7 Areas Where AI Can Support Disaster Response
CSO Online, Monday, March 24th, 2025
Responding to a disaster requires IT teams to move quickly, with no room for error. Find out how AI-based technology can help before, during and after a crisis.
AI tools can help improve business decision-making and efficiency, especially in the high-stakes field of disaster recovery. In addition to DR planning, some organizations use AI to guide them toward the best incident response options.
There are generally three disaster response and recovery phases where AI tools can help: before the incident strikes, during the incident and post-incident response. In the first phase, AI tools are mostly predictive and used for planning and testing. During a disruption, AI might assist with communications, resource allocation and real-time monitoring. After the disaster has passed, DR and IT teams can use the information that AI tools learned to mitigate future incidents.
