Where we cover AI misbehaving: models and agents that go rogue, do what they weren’t supposed to, or fail in ways that matter.
For each incident we set out what happened, what the public record says, and what testing could have caught before it did. When we can recreate the situation, we run our own inspections and publish the method alongside the results.
Each story comes two ways: an illustrated story to swipe through, and the full report.
