awful-ai

Why we included this project

This is a curated catalogue of real-world AI failures and abuses, organized by theme so you can jump straight to a domain you care about, whether that is automated discrimination, surveillance, or autonomous weapons. Every entry links back to the original reporting or research, which makes it genuinely useful for building awareness material, teaching responsible AI, or checking whether something you plan to build has a documented track record of going wrong. It also collects contestational research and tech projects that push back, so you see both the misuse and the countermeasures in one place. The list is not software you run; it is a maintained, citable reference with a DOI through Zenodo that helps teams reason about the systems they ship.
