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.

Land O' Lakes, Pasco County, Florida: a 41-year-old man was arrested on 25 September 2026 on video voyeurism charges after his wife reportedly found AI-generated explicit images of herself, friends and family members on his phone; court documents say he also hid recording devices in the family bathroom

Court documents and a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report, as reported by WTSP (10 Tampa Bay) and WFTS (Tampa Bay 28) on 30 September 2026, say a 41-year-old Land O' Lakes man was arrested on 25 September after his wife found AI-generated explicit images of herself, friends and family members on his phone. According to WTSP's reading of the complaint, investigators found nine AI-generated videos on the phone, dated between 11 February and 15 April, and the complaint affidavit identifies three victims, whose names are redacted. The complaint, as WTSP reports it, says all of the videos depicted the victims in 'various pornographic situations', without making clear whether this covers the AI-generated videos, the bathroom recordings or both. The documents also say he placed recording devices in a bathroom trash can and at the bottom of a door to film family members using the toilet, showering and undressing without their knowledge. The two outlets describe the charges differently: WTSP reports ten counts of third-degree felony digital voyeurism and two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and WFTS reports nine counts of video voyeurism on a child under 16 and one count of unlawful use of a two-way device. He has pleaded not guilty, was released on bond, and is under a no-contact order.

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 People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.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