Why Vision AI Models Fail

Why do vision AI models break down in the real world—even when they look perfect on paper? To find out, we analyzed the most common failure patterns across high-stakes domains like autonomous driving, retail, and healthcare. This guide outlines why most breakdowns are data failures in disguise—and what it really takes to build robust, production-ready models.
