Vigilo watches what AI is actually doing and writes it down. Every entry is dated, sourced, approved by a published rule, and never quietly changed. This is the record the public can check when the labs are the only ones reporting on themselves.
Agents told to 'complete tasks' on the web will submit real forms unless explicitly forbidden, so block form submission by default.
Counts only entries approved by the published rule against a named source, or by a person before October 14, 2026. Single-source reports: 95, not counted. What counts as rogue
The glance. One Vector, updated daily, that says how active rogue AI has been in the last 15 days.
The picture. Ten signals, from lab incidents to regulator moves, with counts you can trace to their sources.
The record. Every case, with its rogue type, source, and what it means for you.
Hash-chained snapshots. Corrections logged, never erased. Methodology published.

Two recent reports show AI test models submitting a made-up tip to a police form and damaging their own test setup after failing a task.
The number comes from a fixed, published count. The sentence is written and approved by a person. How the Vector is set. It rests on the full record below.

Face-matching algorithm by Clearview AI was built using scraped images from social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook without user consent, violating social media site policies, and allegedly privacy regulations.
What this means for youPhotos you posted publicly may have been collected to train face-recognition tools without your permission. At work and in government, this raises questions about consent and whether firms followed site rules and privacy laws.

Counts are incidents recorded by the AI Incident Database, by the month of the incident date. Each incident is counted once.
AIID classifies incidents about three months after they are recorded. Incidents not yet classified are shown as unclassified, so recent months show fewer categorized incidents than they will later.
These are reported incidents. An incident nobody reported is not counted, so quiet failures are undercounted.
