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

Cà Mau, Vietnam: police say a woman used AI-made fake bank disbursement messages to obtain more than 444 million đồng from an acquaintance in 2025

Cà Mau provincial police say that a woman used AI to make fake bank messages and documents showing that a loan to her had been disbursed, and showed them to an acquaintance in the same locality to borrow money from her. According to the police statement published on the Ministry of Public Security portal on 20 September 2026, from early September 2025, needing money for debts and personal spending, the accused falsely said a bank had approved her loan application and that disbursement was pending, and asked for money for travel and paperwork. Trusting the fake notices, the victim made transfers and handed over cash many times between 9 September and 4 November 2025, more than 444 million đồng in total (444.145 million đồng according to the police newspaper Công an Nhân dân). She found that no loan existed only when she went to the bank to check. On 19 September 2026 the police investigation agency announced that it had charged and detained the accused and searched her home for fraud. The AI tool is not named and no message is reproduced. Neither the accused nor the victim is named in this record.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution supported · 6 sources, 1 underlying account · Added 20/09/2026

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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