Why AI Harms Can't Be Fixed One Identity at a Time: What 5300 Incident Reports Reveal About Intersectionality

A new research paper analyzing over 5,300 AI incident reports reveals that AI harms are not isolated to single identity categories but are amplified at specific intersections. The study found that age and political identity are as frequently implicated in AI harms as race and gender. The research highlights that harms can be up to three times greater for groups like adolescent girls, lower-class people of color, and upper-class political elites, advocating for intersectionality to be a central part of AI risk assessment.
