Definition
Interaction amplification occurs when automated systems unintentionally magnify the effects of actions through coordination. A small input may result in disproportionately large operational impact.
Why It Matters
Amplification makes automated environments more sensitive to small mistakes, unusual inputs, or policy gaps.
Example
A low-priority support update unexpectedly triggers account changes, notification storms, and analytics reprocessing across several platforms.
