Hall of fAIl

The most severe AI incidents on record, ranked by the MIT AI Risk Repository's severity classification of AI Incident Database cases. Each entry links to the full, human-curated case file. We keep the summaries flat on purpose. There is real harm behind most of these.

Ranking criteria: highest MIT severity score, tie-broken by the number of people reportedly harmed. Severity is LLM-classified by MIT FutureTech and can change as cases are re-reviewed.
