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

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.

Norway's press council finds Nettavisen breached press ethics by publishing an AI-generated quote attributed to an environmental group's former leader

In an article in May 2026 about new EU rules on single-use plastics, the Norwegian news site Nettavisen attributed to the former leader of the environmental organisation Framtiden i våre hender a statement about plastic ketchup sachets that, according to the complaint, she never made. After the organisation reacted, the journalist confirmed that the quote was an 'AI mishmash', Journalisten reports. Nettavisen removed the quote the same day it was alerted, but the fabricated quote was also published in several other Amedia newspapers after Nettavisen had corrected it. The organisation complained to the Norwegian Press Complaints Commission (Pressens Faglige Utvalg, PFU), saying Nettavisen had published an AI-generated quote without source checks, fabricating a statement and wrongly attributing it to a named person, and that the correction and apology came too late. Nettavisen acknowledged a breach of the source-control rule and apologised, but rejected the other alleged breaches. On 28 October 2026 the PFU found that publishing the fabricated quote was a clear breach of good press practice (point 3.2 of the Code of Ethics) and that the quick correction did not make up for it; it did not hold Nettavisen responsible for other newspapers' failure to correct.

AI involvement supported · Causal attribution supported · 3 sources, 1 underlying account · Added 30/10/2026

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.
