How AI can go wrong

From deepfakes to discrimination, AI poses more risks than most people realise. Here’s a snapshot of what can go wrong:

  • Data misuse: AI tools trained on personal data without consent
  • Copyright abuse: Original content lifted from creators to train machines
  • Algorithmic bias: Unfair decisions in hiring, finance or healthcare
  • Lack of accountability: Who’s responsible when AI makes a bad call?

Understanding the risks is the first step to pushing for safer, fairer systems.

Big tech must be held accountable.

The rise of AI is moving faster than the rules that govern it. Powerful companies are using it to squeeze more value from your data, often without your knowledge, let alone your permission.

At Join the Claim, we’re watching where AI crosses the line, and helping build the cases that could set important legal precedents. If your rights have been affected by the misuse of AI, we’ll help you figure out your next move.

It’s your data, your voice, your future. Don’t let AI take that away.

AI Rights FAQs

Possibly. If your personal data was used to train an AI system without your knowledge or permission, and it breaches UK GDPR or data protection laws, you may be entitled to compensation.

You have the right to challenge automated decisions that significantly affect you – for example, being denied credit, a job, or access to services. Under UK GDPR, you can request a human review of the decision. However, under UK GDPR (Article 22), this right only applies to fully automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Not all algorithmic decisions qualify.

This is a grey area. Some companies claim content made public online is fair game, but if it contains copyrighted material or personal data, UK law may offer protection. Legal challenges are already under way.

AI hallucinations happen when systems generate false or misleading content that sounds convincing. These can be dangerous in sensitive settings like law or healthcare, especially if they’re trusted without verification.

Partially. While UK GDPR and consumer protection laws apply, there are still major gaps when it comes to regulating AI specifically. A dedicated AI bill is in development but has yet to be introduced.

It’s not always obvious. You might spot unfair treatment, see your content copied by an AI tool, or discover that your personal data was scraped for training. If you’re unsure, check our latest claims and investigations.
