AUTOMATION DISASTER

ABOUT THE CHAOS

Automation Disaster documents real stories of AI failures, outages, and disasters. Not the hypothetical kind. The kind that already happened.

We cover the incidents the industry would rather you forget: the chatbots that hallucinate medical diagnoses, the trading bots that lose fortunes in seconds, the autonomous systems that do exactly what they were told to do — which turns out to be the wrong thing entirely.

Why This Exists

This site is the brain child of Robert who ironically is a fan of AI with some caution. The AI industry moves fast and breaks things. We keep track of the things it breaks. Every post is sourced, fact-checked, and written for people who want to understand what went wrong without the hype or the spin. For help your AI avoid disaster contact Rob at foxbridgeai.com

This isn't anti-AI. It's pro-accountability. The technology is powerful. That's exactly why the failures matter.
