Foresight on AI risk
Closing the evidence gap
on emerging AI harms.
Real-time incident intelligence aggregated from independent sources. Classified, scored, and published for the people who need to act on it - policymakers, regulators, insurers, researchers, and journalists.
Reported Incidents and Hazards
Live incident and hazard data aggregated from multiple independent sources including the AI Incident Database, X, Bluesky, GDELT and RSS feeds. Source items are deduplicated and grouped together as canonicals. Click into the chart to view details.
What we do
Monitor
Continuous scanning of news, social media, incident databases, regulatory filings, litigation records, and frontier lab disclosures — separating meaningful risk indicators from noise.
Classify
Each pipeline applies its own taxonomy and scoring rubric. Our default framework uses the MIT Risk Domain Taxonomy and a multi-dimensional severity scale based on CSET's taxonomy of AI harm. Partners can define their own classification logic for specialist use cases. Every classification captures reasoning for full traceability.
Analyse
Cross-source correlation exposes patterns that no single database can reveal. We track whether harm types are emerging, expanding, or being brought under control. We identify escalation pathways and flag near-misses - cases where different conditions would have caused far greater harm.
Recently Reported Incidents, Hazards and Risk Updates
Recently reported incidents, hazards and risk updates classified by risk domain, harm category and severity. Incidents are defined as events where AI contributed to harm caused. Hazards are events where harm could have been caused by AI if circumstances had been different (e.g. near-misses). Risk Updates are reports that may contain information useful to update assessment of the likelihood of specific future harms, such as a newly demonstrated dangerous capability, jailbreak technique or safety bypass.
