Welcome to theAI Incident Database
About the Database
The AI Incident Database is dedicated to indexing the collective history of harms or near harms realized in the real world by the deployment of artificial intelligence systems. Like similar databases in aviation and computer security, the AI Incident Database aims to learn from experience so we can prevent or mitigate bad outcomes.
You are invited to submit incident reports, whereupon submissions will be indexed and made discoverable to the world. Artificial intelligence will only be a benefit to people and society if we collectively record and learn from its failings. (Learn More)

The Responsible AI Collaborative
The AI Incident Database is a project of the Responsible AI Collaborative, an organization chartered to advance the AI Incident Database. The governance of the Collaborative is architected around the participation in its impact programming. For more details, we invite you to read about our board and contributors.
The AIID depends on a great many mission-aligned organizations and people. We celebrate contributors to the dataset on the leaderboard. You can also see who is contributing to the codebase on GitHub.
View the Responsible AI Collaborative's Form 990 and tax-exempt application. We kindly request your financial support with a donation. All funds donated to the incident database improve incident coverage, quality of presentation, and depth of insight. We spend very little of our time and none of our budget on fundraising.
