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

Gresik, East Java: police say a woman was extorted by illegal online-loan collectors who sent AI-manipulated obscene photos of her; she paid about Rp3 million

East Java police and three Indonesian outlets report that a 34-year-old woman from Manyar, Gresik Regency, was extorted by people claiming to be debt collectors for illegal online-loan apps. According to Liputan6, which quotes the woman, the first WhatsApp demand on 22 September 2026 forced her to pay Rp1.6 million before the due date; a second number then claimed a fictitious Rp2.9 million bill, threatened to spread her ID card photo, and shared fabricated obscene photos of her paired with her ID card to Gresik-area Facebook groups, after which she paid again. Detik reports a total of about Rp3 million transferred, quoting the Gresik police chief; the two figures are not reconciled. The chief, who found her crying at the Manyar police post during a visit on 7 October 2026, is quoted by beritajatim as saying she received manipulated photos said to be obscene ('foto hasil manipulasi') used as pressure to meet the collector's demands; beritajatim's own report calls them AI fabrications ('hasil rekayasa akal imitasi (AI)'), and SuaraJatim, which says it takes the quote from beritajatim, renders it as obscene photos that were AI fabrications ('hasil rekayasa AI') used as a tool of terror and psychological pressure. Detik quotes him saying the photos were, per the complainant, not of her. The case was taken over by the Gresik police criminal unit; no suspect is identified and the tool is not named.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 4 sources, 3 underlying accounts · Added 10/10/2026

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.
