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.

UK MP Jess Asato sues xAI, alleging Grok generated sexualised images and a sexual-assault video of her at X users’ requests

Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, alleges in a High Court claim against xAI that after she posted on X on 6 January 2026 that Elon Musk must stop Grok being used to strip women without their consent, X users from about 11 January prompted Grok to make sexualised and degrading images of her, which Grok generated and published on X and its website, including bikini images and a video depicting her about to be sexually assaulted. Her particulars of claim (24 July 2026) plead misuse of private information and data protection breaches and seek damages and a compliance order. She says X rejected her reports and that she suffered significant distress. In a WIRED interview on 27 October 2026 she said xAI’s defence had not yet been received. These are the claimant’s allegations; no court has ruled on them.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 4 sources, 2 underlying accounts · Added 14/06/2026

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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