DeathBench Counts the Deaths AI May Have Helped Cause
An independent research project reviewing reported deaths involving AI systems.
Field notes
The project separates included, excluded, and unresolved incidents, with company totals changing only after a reviewer marks a case as included. Its three-part test covers direct actions, information that enables harm, and broader contribution through deployment or inadequate oversight. The homepage also states that inclusion is not a legal finding and that each record is meant to expose its evidence and open disputes. No incident record is visible yet, so the review process remains to be tested against actual cases.
