A trial of AI-powered CCTV in two South Australian aged care facilities produced over 12,000 false alerts in a year, causing staff alert fatigue. The system, intended to detect falls and abuse, was overly sensitive and misidentified normal movements as incidents. At least one genuine resident fall went unresponded to because staff were overwhelmed. South Australia's health minister described the rollout as 'botched'.

Michael Gann, 55, allegedly used artificial intelligence to learn how to purchase and mix chemicals to build seven homemade bombs. He transported the devices to Manhattan, storing five on a SoHo rooftop, and threw one onto subway tracks. Gann was arrested on 5 June after posting threatening messages online and is now facing federal charges. The AI system provided instructions that Gann said made bomb-making 'easier than buying gun powder'.

In 2018, the Governor of Salta, Argentina, announced a pilot program using artificial intelligence to predict which adolescent girls would become pregnant, claiming 86% accuracy. Researchers at the Laboratorio de Inteligencia Artificial Aplicada found serious methodological errors, including data leakage that inflated accuracy and the use of inadequate survey data. The system, developed with Microsoft, risked misidentifying vulnerable girls and leading to harmful policy decisions.

Migrants' rights campaigners have called for the UK government to stop using the IPIC (Identify & Prioritise Immigration Cases) AI system, which automatically identifies and recommends migrants for immigration decisions or enforcement action. Privacy International and the Migrants' Rights Network have raised concerns that the system could lead to racial bias and the 'rubberstamping' of algorithmic recommendations by caseworkers. The campaigners argue that people going through the immigration system may not know their information has been processed by an algorithm. The Home Office has not directly responded to the specific concerns, though Science Secretary Peter Kyle has defended the safe development of AI in public services.
