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.

Savannah, Georgia: a police corporal fired in August 2026 over misuse of the department's Flock license-plate-reader system admitted to six improper license plate searches, two involving the officer's wife and four involving one of her coworkers, according to WTOC's report of the appeal hearing

The Savannah Police Department in Georgia terminated four sworn officers and two civilian employees after an internal investigation, begun on 27 July 2026, found that employees had run searches on personal acquaintances and family members in the department's Flock license-plate-reader system. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested four of the former employees on 21 August 2026. One of them, a former corporal charged with two counts of misuse of a license plate reader system and one count of violation of oath of office, appealed the firing. WTOC's 21 September 2026 report of the appeal hearing said the former corporal admitted to six improper license plate searches, two involving the officer's wife and four involving one of her coworkers. Neither person is identified, and no source says whether they knew of the searches. A decision on the appeal was pending.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 4 sources, 3 underlying accounts · 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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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.
