A child protection worker at the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) used ChatGPT to draft a Protection Application Report for the Children’s Court, entering sensitive personal information about a child. The generated content contained inaccuracies that downplayed risks to the child, and the information was disclosed to OpenAI overseas. An investigation by the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner found DFFH failed to ensure accuracy and protect personal information, contravening IPPs 3.1 and 4.1. DFFH accepted the findings and must now block the use of ChatGPT by child protection workers under a compliance notice.

On 28 February 2026, US forces struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, Iran, killing between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls. The targeting was carried out by the Maven Smart System, built by Palantir, which had classified the building as a military facility based on an outdated Defense Intelligence Agency database. Although media attention focused on the chatbot Claude, the real failure was a bureaucratic one: the database had not been updated to reflect the building's conversion into a school years earlier. The incident highlights the lethal consequences of compressed kill chains and automated targeting infrastructure.

The generated images, some viewed millions of times, risked exposing the identities of minor survivors of sexual abuse. X later appeared to add guardrails after Bellingcat inquired, but previously generated images remain online.
