Every week, an AI system made a decision that harmed a real person.
A chatbot told a man his mother was a demon. A health insurance algorithm denied
cancer treatment without a doctor reading the file. A facial recognition tool put
an innocent woman in jail for five months.
These are not hypothetical risks. They are documented cases. Real names. Real
losses. Active lawsuits.
AI Failings breaks down exactly what went wrong — the mechanism, who knew, what
they did about it, and what it means for you.
No hype. No conspiracy. Just the cases the tech industry would rather you didn't
understand.
AI Failings — because the systems making decisions about your life were not built
to protect you.
