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.

Garut, West Java: a local outlet reports that a young man paid Rp200,000 to an unknown account that threatened to spread an AI-made fake nude photo

Kilas Garut News reported on 3 October 2026 that a young man from Karangpawitan in Garut Regency, West Java, was extorted by an unknown account that threatened to spread a fake nude photo made with AI. According to the report, the account demanded money to delete the photo and the young man, frightened, transferred Rp200,000; the account then asked for a second payment for permanent deletion. The young man told family members, who consulted a journalist of the outlet. The journalist is quoted as saying the photo was an AI paste-up and as advising the family to stop paying and block the account, which they did. No police report is mentioned. The account comes from the outlet and its own journalist, who helped the family.

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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