The Responsible AI Collaborative (TheCollab) is a nonprofit organization chartered to govern, organize, and fund the AI Incident Database (AIID). The AIID is the most widely used public repository of real-world AI incidents, containing over 5,800 curated reports of AI system failures and harms. TheCollab convenes contributors from industry, academia, and civil society to catalog AI incidents, develop taxonomies for classifying AI risks, and support research that helps organizations learn from past failures to prevent future ones. The organization works with regulators, intergovernmental bodies, and practitioners worldwide to advance AI safety through incident-based learning.

Theory of Change
TheCollab believes that systematically cataloging real-world AI harms enables the AI development community, regulators, and the public to learn from past failures in the same way that aviation and cybersecurity communities use incident databases to improve safety. By making this incident data freely available and well-structured, the organization aims to: (1) help developers identify and avoid patterns of failure in deployed AI systems; (2) inform risk frameworks, standards, and regulation with empirical evidence; and (3) create accountability pressure that incentivizes more careful AI deployment. The causal chain runs from incident documentation to improved situational awareness for stakeholders, to better risk management practices, to reduced probability and severity of AI-related harms.
