AI Incident Handoff

AI incident records should preserve evidence packets for review. Honesty note: simplified classroom tort model; jurisdictions vary; contested facts and standards matter; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice.

AI incident records need a handoff path

The stated process captures system, event, claimed harm, use label, evidence packet, and human review as separate records.

system→event→evidence→review\text{system}\to\text{event}\to\text{evidence}\to\text{review}

Example incident packet

The toy packet separates the AI system from the event record and from the claimed harm label.

The flow preserves review order

An AI incident handoff keeps system, event, claimed harm, use label, and evidence separate. The map has 6 nodes.

Summary

AI incident data should preserve provenance and evidence packets before any tort analysis happens.
