Using the library

Glitchive, “The AI Failure Library”, publishes documented AI failure cases for practitioners and the public. You may browse and link to the library for lawful purposes. Do not attempt to disrupt the site, gain improper access to its infrastructure, or misrepresent Glitchive’s material as your own.

Accuracy, responsibility and ownership

The library is provided as is, without warranties. We pursue accuracy through our methodology and corrections process, but we cannot guarantee that every statement, source, or suggested solution is complete, current, or error-free.

The material is documentation, not legal, engineering, security, or other professional advice. You remain responsible for evaluating sources, testing solutions, and making decisions appropriate to your circumstances. Glitchive is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on the library to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Unless otherwise noted, Glitchive’s editorial content is © Glitchive. Quotations, trademarks, linked material, and source documents remain the property of their respective owners. Brief quotations from Glitchive with clear attribution and a link to the relevant page are welcome. No broader open-content licence is granted by these terms.

Contributions

By submitting material, you grant Glitchive a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to publish, edit, adapt, and distribute that material as part of the library. You keep ownership of what you wrote. This is a licence, not a transfer of ownership, and it is not exclusive: you stay free to publish the same lead, write-up, or solution anywhere else, at any time, without asking us.

You warrant that you have the right to submit the material. It must contain no confidential information that you are not free to share, no material covered by an obligation of confidence or a non-disclosure agreement, and no personal information about another person.

A case submission is a lead or tip, not a draft. Editorial researches and writes the published AFL case file, which is not the contributor’s text. A submission is reviewed and then marked accepted, rejected, or spam; no response time is guaranteed. The move out of review is one-way and cannot be reversed. A rejection always carries a written reason. Glitchive has no obligation to publish any submission, and acceptance does not mean publication; an accepted lead may never become a case.

Credit is optional and appears as supplied. Solutions appear in publication order only, with a maximum of ten published solutions per case. At ten, the case closes to further solution submissions. There are no votes, rankings, support signals, popularity scores, or contributor reputation, now or later. These are permanent rules, not features waiting to be built.

Corrections correspondence can be sent through the corrections process or by email to [email protected]. The address is working and messages reach the editorial team. No response time is guaranteed.
