AI incidents

Reports of AI-related harm and adverse experiences affecting people’s safety, wellbeing, rights and livelihoods. Explore what happened and the evidence available.

NOPE’s core concern is when AI communicates with a person, acts on their behalf, or depicts or impersonates them. The tracker also records consequential decisions, claims and privacy harms involving AI. Each case needs a described connection between AI use and the harm, including private information recorded into or disclosed to an AI service. Each account is reviewed for publication; claims may remain uncorroborated or disputed. How we review and count cases

Cases in this selection, counted once in their first known event year. A series may continue beyond that year. Reporting and collection dates are excluded. NOPE has searched recent events more thoroughly than earlier years, so bar heights also reflect collection effort.

Rescuers say a 16-year-old's Claude-planned Crown Mountain hike led him off the trail; stranded at the Widowmaker arete, helicopter extraction, no injury

North Shore Rescue (NSR), the search and rescue team that extracted him, told CTV News that a 16-year-old boy rode the Grouse Mountain gondola at about 8 a.m. on Saturday 3 October 2026 and asked Claude, Anthropic's AI chatbot, to plan a trip to Crown Mountain in British Columbia. According to NSR search manager Paul Markey, the tool's route sent the boy down Crown Pass and up through Crater Slabs and Crown Couloir before its instructions led him off the trail route; he continued through difficult terrain and called for help from the base of the final headwall of the Widowmaker arete, a technical climbing wall. NSR was called at about 3:30 p.m., two rescue technicians were lowered from a helicopter to a point above him because he was too close to the vertical wall for a direct approach, and he was extracted by about 6:30 p.m. Markey said a fall would have resulted in significant injury or potentially death and that the boy was very scared. No injury is reported. The account rests on NSR's statements and task debrief as reported by CTV News; the chatbot exchange itself has not been published, and a relaying outlet noted that earlier reporting had not named the tool.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution supported · 3 sources, 1 underlying account · Added 07/10/2026

Cases may have several effects and sources. Mixed accounts qualify when they include a reported harm or adverse experience. People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.

A source’s existence, the experience it reports and AI’s causal role are separate questions. A lawsuit records allegations unless a subsequent finding establishes them.
