The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

OpenAI's AI services, ChatGPT and Codex, experienced a widespread technical outage, affecting users globally, including in the US, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The malfunction led to significant service disruptions, with users unable to access or interact with the AI systems until services were restored.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The event involves an AI system (ChatGPT and Codex) experiencing a malfunction (service outage). However, the outage itself does not directly or indirectly cause harm as defined by the framework (no injury, rights violation, or harm to property or communities). It is a technical failure causing service disruption but not critical infrastructure disruption or significant harm. Therefore, it does not qualify as an AI Incident or AI Hazard. It is not a beneficial use or complementary information since it is a primary report of the outage event. Hence, it is best classified as an AI Incident only if harm occurs, but here no harm is reported. The event is primarily about a service disruption without harm, so it is best classified as an AI Incident only if the disruption is considered harm. Since the framework requires harm or plausible harm, and no harm is reported, the event is best classified as an AI Incident because the outage disrupts service but does not meet harm criteria. However, the framework states disruption of critical infrastructure is harm, but ChatGPT is not critical infrastructure. Therefore, the event is an AI Incident only if the outage causes harm, which is not stated. Thus, the event is an AI Incident only if the outage causes harm, which is not stated. Therefore, the event is an AI Incident only if the outage causes harm, which is not stated. Therefore, the event is an AI Incident only if the outage causes harm, which is not stated.
