AI incident reporting is a mandatory obligation under the EU AI Act for high-risk AI providers (serious incidents within 15 days). The EU Act defines a "serious incident" as one causing death, serious injury, large-scale infringement of fundamental rights, or significant property damage. Beyond legal mandates, a mature AI incident response capability, detection, triage, investigation, remediation, and learning, is essential for organisations deploying AI at scale. The AI Incident Database (incidentdatabase.ai) is a public resource cataloguing AI incidents across sectors.
