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 is wider: it also records consequential decisions and claims about people. Each account is reviewed for publication; claims may remain uncorroborated or disputed.

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.

Brookfield, Wisconsin: police stopped a woman's car on Interstate 94 with guns drawn in August 2026 after a Flock camera flagged it on a homicide wanted-vehicle alert that Milwaukee police had failed to remove

FOX6 News Milwaukee reported that at about 4:45 p.m. on Thursday 6 August Brookfield police pulled a car over on Interstate 94 with guns drawn after a Flock license-plate camera flagged it for a Milwaukee homicide. The woman driving told FOX6 that officers handcuffed the occupants. When Brookfield police called the Milwaukee Police Department, it said the car and the people inside were no longer needed, and officers let them go. Milwaukee police told FOX6 that staff had failed to remove a wanted-vehicle alert from the system and said this was a personnel issue and not a Flock issue. The Brookfield police chief said the officers acted consistently with the information they had. The woman said Milwaukee police had also stopped her with guns drawn earlier that week and towed her car. She said she had not slept since, and that she was scared to drive her car and her daughter did not want to ride in it.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution disputed · 1 source · Added 05/10/2026

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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.
