AI Incident

An AI incident is an event in which the development or use of an AI system results in actual harm, such as injury, rights violations, damage to property or disruption of infrastructure.

What is AI Incident?

The OECD defines AI incidents and hazards (potential incidents) and tracks them in its AI Incidents Monitor. Serious incidents must be reported under the EU AI Act.

How it works

Organisations log, investigate and report incidents, and feed lessons into risk management.
