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

East Delhi: police say two brothers put their own photos on namesakes' PAN cards with AI and took online loans; police found 30+ loans on a complainant's PAN

A resident of East Delhi complained to the district cyber police station that several loans were running on his PAN number although he had never taken a loan; the police investigation found more than 30 loans on his PAN, found that he had been made guarantor on loan accounts worth about Rs 47 lakh, and the loans had damaged his credit score, according to the East Delhi deputy commissioner of police as reported by Dainik Jagran and Amar Ujala on 30 September 2026. Police say two brothers from Gurugram, Haryana, obtained from the internet the PAN details of people across India who share their own name, placed their own photographs on those PAN cards (with the help of AI, in the Jagran account; by digital tampering, in the Amar Ujala account), bought SIM cards on the altered cards and took online loans from lenders that accept a PAN copy as the only guarantee. Police say about 50 namesakes had loans taken in their names, of whom ten had been identified, and that the complainant's case was registered on 17 August. Both brothers were arrested in Gurugram. The AI tool is not named, no altered card is reproduced, and the account rests on one police statement.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 2 sources, 1 underlying account · Added 10/10/2026

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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