Shaping the Future of AI
Artificial intelligence and related technologies – such as machine learning, large language models, and neural networks – are advancing at a rapid pace. As AI is used increasingly in daily life and work, the National Academies are advising the nation on AI use, policy, ethics, and development.

Ethics

AI Incident Database
Dedicated to indexing the collective history of harms or near harms realized in the real world by the deployment of artificial intelligence systems. Like similar databases in aviation and computer security, the AI Incident Database aims to learn from experience in order to prevent or mitigate bad outcomes.

It covers cases from complaint forward – as soon as we (George Washington University) learn of them – whether or not they generate published decisions. It is intended to be broad in scope, covering everything from algorithms used in hiring and credit and criminal sentencing decisions to liability for accidents involving autonomous vehicles. It also includes some cases concerning statistical analysis and data protection that may not directly involve artificial intelligence, but that are of particular relevance to AI projects. It includes cases addressing whether AIs can be authors of works protected by copyright law, or inventors of inventions protected by patent law, but it does not include litigation concerning patents that may involve artificial intelligence or machine learning.
