• Abstract: The increasing use of AI technologies has led to increasing AI incidents, posing risks and causing harm to individuals, organizations, and society. This study recognizes and addresses the lack of standardized protocols for reliably and comprehensively gathering such incident data crucial for preventing future incidents and developing mitigating strategies. Specifically, this study analyses existing open-access AI-incident databases through a systematic methodology and identifies nine gaps in current AI incident reporting practices. Further, it proposes nine actionable recommendations to enhance standardization efforts to address these gaps. Ensuring the trustworthiness of enabling technologies such as AI is necessary for sustainable digital transformation. Our research promotes the development of standards to prevent future AI incidents and promote trustworthy AI, thus facilitating achieving the UN sustainable development goals. Through international cooperation, stakeholders can unlock the transformative potential of AI, enabling a sustainable and inclusive future for all.

  We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems. There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them. Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.
