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.

1 case without a known event year

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.

Hall County, Georgia: a sheriff's investigator was fired in September 2026 after an internal audit found the investigator had repeatedly used the agency's Flock license-plate-reader system to find the whereabouts of a person known to them

The Hall County Sheriff's Office in Georgia fired a property crimes investigator on 2 September 2026 after its Internal Affairs Unit determined that the investigator had used the agency's Flock license-plate-reader system multiple times to find the whereabouts of a person the investigator knew. The sheriff's office said the searches were personal and had no connection to a legitimate law enforcement purpose. It was the third investigator fired during an audit of the agency's Flock use, and the sheriff's office said the violations would be referred to the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council and the Hall County Solicitor's Office. The press release did not mention criminal charges, and the person searched was not identified.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 4 sources, 2 underlying accounts · Added 04/10/2026

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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