AI Incident

An AI Incident is an event in which AI behavior causes — or could have caused — harm, financial loss, regulatory violation, or significant operational disruption. Real-world AI incidents tracked in the AI Incident Database, the OECD AI Incidents Monitor, and AIAAIC repository include the lawyer sanctioned for fake ChatGPT citations, Air Canada's chatbot promising refunds the airline disowned, Microsoft's Tay turning racist within hours, automated systems wrongfully denying benefits to thousands of people, autonomous-vehicle crashes, deepfake-driven fraud against businesses, and many more. Categories include accuracy failures, bias incidents, safety failures, privacy breaches, security compromises, hallucination-driven misinformation, and inappropriate content generation. The EU AI Act requires reporting of serious AI incidents involving high-risk AI to authorities. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs increasingly include AI incident response plans alongside traditional cybersecurity incident response — making structured incident handling foundational to responsible AI deployment across every modern enterprise AI environment at scale.
