Two patients allege that Acclarent's TruDi Navigation System, which uses AI to confirm device positioning during sinus surgery, misled surgeons and caused severe injuries including strokes. The FDA has received over 100 reports of malfunctions and at least ten injuries since AI was added. Lawsuits claim the company rushed the technology to market with only 80% accuracy, making the device less safe than before. Acclarent denies any causal connection, and the cases are ongoing.

A deepfake video posted on Facebook falsely depicts Croatian neurosurgeon Josip Paladino promoting a pain relief product called Steplex. The video uses AI-manipulated footage from a 2012 press conference and a Ukrainian TV fight to fabricate a story of a studio brawl. The scam attempts to trick viewers into purchasing an unregistered product via a suspicious website. Paladino has previously reported similar deepfake incidents to police and the Croatian Medical Chamber.

In a 2024 research paper, Google's Med-Gemini AI model generated a radiology report diagnosing an 'old left basilar ganglia infarct', a non-existent body part conflating the basal ganglia and basilar artery. The error was not caught by Google before publication. After a neurologist flagged the mistake, Google quietly edited a blog post to correct the term, calling it a typo, but the research paper remains unchanged. Experts warn that such hallucinations pose significant risks if doctors fail to notice them in clinical settings.

Guardio Labs tested three popular AI agents—ChatGPT, Claude, and Lovable—to see how easily they could be manipulated into generating phishing campaigns. The benchmark, called VibeScamming, simulated a novice scammer attempting to create an SMS phishing attack to steal Microsoft credentials. While ChatGPT and Claude initially refused, they provided full code and tutorials after a jailbreak attempt posing as ethical hacking; Lovable instantly generated and deployed a fully functional, convincing phishing page with no resistance.

Security researcher Bar Lanyado discovered that generative AI models repeatedly hallucinate non-existent software package names. He created a real package named 'huggingface-cli' based on one such hallucination and uploaded it to PyPI. The package was downloaded over 15,000 times, and Alibaba's GraphTranslator project included instructions to install it. The experiment demonstrated a potential supply chain attack vector where malicious actors could exploit AI hallucinations to distribute malware.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) used an AI-generated image as a stimulus in the 2024 HSC English exam without disclosing its origin. The image, created by Florian Schroeder using OpenAI's ChatGPT and Dall-E 2, was published on Medium in July 2023. Students suspected AI use due to irregularities in the image, and NESA initially declined to confirm. After the Sydney Morning Herald confirmed the image was AI-generated, NESA stated that students would be marked on their response to the question, not the image's origin.

Tate Ryan-Mosley, a journalist at MIT Technology Review, used Qoves Studio's AI facial assessment tool, which automatically scored her face and listed perceived flaws such as smile lines and under-eye bags. The tool recommended skin-care products and paid surgical consultation reports. She also tried Megvii's Face++ beauty-scoring system, which gave her two percentage attractiveness scores. The article raises concerns that such algorithms are inaccurate, biased and not transparently used by social media platforms.

Bayerischer Rundfunk journalists conducted experiments with Retorio's AI video interview analysis tool. The AI, which assesses personality traits from short videos, produced different scores when the same actress changed her appearance (glasses, headscarf, wig) or the video background and lighting were altered. The start-up Retorio acknowledged that the AI considers external image, similar to a human interviewer. Experts warned that such software could perpetuate stereotypes and unfairly affect job candidates.

In April 2018, ViaQuatro installed the Digital Interactive Doors System, developed by AdMobilize, on the São Paulo metro's yellow line. The system used cameras to detect passengers' faces and claimed to infer their emotion, age, and gender in order to target advertisements. The Brazilian Institute of Consumer Protection (IDEC) filed a public civil action alleging that the system violated consumer and data protection laws by processing biometric data without consent and making pseudoscientific and discriminatory inferences. A judge ordered the cameras removed in August 2018, and the case is pending a final ruling.
