Incidents by Category and Autonomy
Every documented incident falls into one of five categories and one of three autonomy classifications - whether an AI system acted on its own, was directed to cause harm by a person, or behaved exactly as a deployed system was designed to. This grid shows where the corpus concentrates, which is a first signal for where regulation and oversight are most needed.
17 of 17 incidents in the archive are counted in this grid.
Cell color is shaded relative to this grid's own current highest count (11), not an absolute scale - the number in each cell is the real count. A shaded cell links to that category's listing, filtered to the matching autonomy classification for readers with JavaScript enabled; without JavaScript, or for a search crawler, the link shows the full, unfiltered category listing instead.
