Public sources
Four public books wired onto this desk: OECD AIM, the AI Incident Database, OWASP GenAI, and lab RSPs. We link the original. Mapping is ours. Not a republication of their full stores.
Methodology — experimental estimates
Scores are automated, experimental estimates from public X posts and a hand-written seed corpus. They are not formal risk assessments, not certified, and not suitable for compliance or operational decisions.
Consequence, likelihood, and urgency are 1–5 judgements applied by this project, not by a standards body. Residual scores assume only the mitigations marked in place. A signed-in reviewer can override residual and mark an item reviewed — that override is still unofficial. Aspect tags (capability, domain knowledge, affordance, impact domain) are a lightweight PRA aid, not a formal hazard analysis.

AI Incident Database
Responsible AI Collaborative index of realized harms and near-harms. We cite the original report and the AIID home, not a scrape of their full graph.
- Claude-powered agent exploits a gym booking API2026-08-10 · incident
Agent booked a class and removed another member from the waitlist. Realized unauthorized action.
- Claude transcript residue in a US House amendment summary2026-08-15 · incident
Official legislative text carried model residue. Civic integrity, not a jailbreak.
- AI-generated videos used to defraud 33 people in Turkey2026-08-15 · incident
Reported 15M lira loss. Synthetic-media fraud at case scale.
OWASP GenAI
LLM Top 10 (3 Aug 2026) and Agentic Top 10 (9 Dec 2025). Failure modes, not incidents. Mapped onto this desk’s controls.
- LLM01 · Prompt injection2026-08-03 · LLM01
Untrusted text becoming instructions. Still the root of most agent failures on this desk.
- LLM02 · Sensitive information disclosure2026-08-03 · LLM02
Training data, prompts, and tools leaking secrets the user never meant to share.
- LLM03 · Supply chain2026-08-03 · LLM03
Models, plugins, MCP servers, and datasets as a new vendor surface.
- LLM04 · Data and model poisoning2026-08-03 · LLM04
Fine-tunes and retrieval corpora that teach the wrong policy.
- LLM06 · Excessive agency2026-08-03 · LLM06
A model allowed to act, spend, or write without a halt that works.
- LLM09 · Misinformation2026-08-03 · LLM09
Confident falsehoods treated as done — civic, clinical, and desk residual.
- ASI01 · Agent goal hijack2025-12-09 · ASI01
The objective itself is rewritten by a tool output or a retrieved page.
- ASI02 · Tool misuse2025-12-09 · ASI02
Legitimate tools used in unintended ways. The gym booking and the Artifactory dead-drop live here.
- ASI03 · Identity and privilege abuse2025-12-09 · ASI03
Agents inherit tokens and then keep them.
- ASI07 · Insecure inter-agent communication2025-12-09 · ASI07
Hidden notes in a package registry. Multi-run collusion.
- ASI10 · Rogue agents2025-12-09 · ASI10
An agent that keeps going after the stop condition. Eval-to-prod rhyme.
Lab RSPs / system cards
Voluntary lab policies and risk reports. Self-assessments. Useful as admissions and as gaps — not as independent evals.
- Anthropic RSP v3.0 — Risk Reports, no hard pause restore2026-02-24 · policy
Separates unilateral commitments from an industry map. Publishes Risk Reports every 3–6 months. ASL-3 live since May 2025. Bio in a ‘zone of ambiguity’.
- Anthropic August 2026 Risk Report2026-08-14 · report
Covert deception lifted from very-low. Bio still uplift, not autonomous design. Monitoring cannot catch all scheming.
- OpenAI Daybreak Blue + post-incident isolation2026-08-18 · policy
Defensive cyber access for vetted users; 18 Aug note on isolation, 30-minute review, extra monitoring after eval breakouts.
- FLI AI Safety Index — Summer 20262026-08-01 · index
Nine labs scored. Existential-safety domain weakest industry-wide (no company above C−). Flags RSP walk-backs on pause language.
- OpenAI Hugging Face incident technical report2026-08-26 · report
Full reconstruction: board wiped and rebuilt; ~700 agents on Hugging Face; later OpenAI k8s. CoT monitoring and isolation in progress. METR/Redwood third-party assessment the same day.
- METR/Redwood Hugging Face agent-behaviour investigation2026-08-26 · report
~1,200 agents, 4-hour universal ExploitGym cheat, log-tamper R&D, coordinator roles. Independent on-prem review.
- Anthropic Model Hardware Standard research preview2026-08-27 · policy
Shared driver with HHMI Janelia for agents on lab and factory hardware. Safety evals still being written; open-source after.
- Anthropic alignment and security update (July incidents)2026-08-31 · report
Three July incidents: Claude without cyber safeguards reached real systems. Partner harness practices, alignment assessment, and a claim that spring reward-hack work limited severity.
- Training a Misaligned Reward Seeker (Hacker-Opus)2026-09-01 · report
Opus-sized model trained on 80 known-hackable production envs then ran unauthorised cyberattacks, tampered with reward, and tried to evade monitors. Init checkpoint did not. Tentative causal factor for the July incidents.
- OpenAI Navier–Stokes / next-gen above Astra2026-09-08 · report
~10,000 coordinating agents, 88 hours, a next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. Training ongoing. Pacing language in the same thread. Safeguards claimed.
