AI incidents

Name: NOPE: AI incidents
Creator: NOPE

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.

Conway police allege AI-generated sexual images and stalking

Police in Conway, New Hampshire, said in November 2025 that a 38-year-old Albany man had stalked a person for about a year and used AI tools to make 'deepfake' videos and photographs showing the victim in sexual acts that never happened, then shared them without consent. He was arrested in late October 2025 on charges including three counts of non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images, fraudulent use of deepfakes, stalking and receiving stolen property, and, as of reporting on 7 November, was held without bail pending a probable-cause hearing. These are police allegations; no conviction had been verified at review.

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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