Yep. Wake me when an AI can tell me "hey, that monthly trending conversion report you asked me to pull...yeah, you're missing two days worth of data when tracking broke, so it will just make your numbers look lower when rolled-up monthly and be hard to notice."

BTW, that is also the reason I not only set alerts, but review data at a daily level when pulling any rolled-up reports of significance.

For most use cases, you don't even need AI. Once you reach a certain scale, there are certainly ML-based solutions available: https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/rad-outlier-detection-on...
