Could someone explain what a modern 'software controlled' flight system would do in the following circumstances?

I am in the ITCZ, in cloud, with moderate turbulence and in significant airframe icing conditions but in a (reasonably) 'steady state' condition of speed and power:-

a) Two Air Data units decide my speed has fallen significantly and I appear to be flying at an unsafe speed OR

b) Two Air Data units decide my AoA has reached levels that are unsafe

So - does the system quickly take control and manouevre my aircraft for me OR does it just alert me to the issue and enable me to fly pitch and power while I sort it out?
