The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) warns that debt collection agencies increasingly use AI to assess debt recovery chances and gather personal data, raising risks of discrimination, incorrect decisions, and illegal fully automated decisions.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions AI systems used by debt collection agencies and the risks they pose, such as discrimination and incorrect decisions, which could lead to harm like violations of rights or unfair treatment. Since no actual harm has been reported but the risks are credible and plausible, this qualifies as an AI Hazard rather than an Incident. The event focuses on potential future harm from AI use, not on realized harm or a response to past harm.[AI generated]
