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.

Mooresville, North Carolina: a police officer is accused of searching the department's Flock license-plate-reader system 31 times to track her boyfriend's ex-wife; charged in August 2026 with accessing computers

According to Mooresville Police Chief Ron Campurciani, a monthly audit of the department's Flock license-plate-reader system found that one of its officers had accessed the system 31 times for personal use, to find information about and track the movements of her boyfriend's ex-wife. The chief said she accessed the cameras at least twice while off duty and logged most of the searches as motor vehicle infractions, and the department said she was not truthful about why she accessed the data. She was arrested on 5 August 2026 and charged with accessing computers, a misdemeanor, and court records show she was released on a $5,000 bond. The chief said the department was reviewing 10 other potential misuse cases and now requires officers to link an active case number to every search. The charge is an allegation.

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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