Responsible AI Collaborative

What Responsible AI Collaborative does

The Responsible AI Collaborative (operating as "TheCollab") is a non-profit convening organization that brings together multiple contributors to support AI safety research. Its core product is the AI Incident Database (AIID), hosted at incidentdatabase.ai, which the organization describes as the leading catalog of AI harm events occurring in the real world.

The AIID functions as a centralized, publicly accessible repository for cataloging and tracking incidents in which AI systems have caused harm, enabling researchers and practitioners to study real-world AI failures, identify patterns, and inform safer development practices. The organization does not disclose underlying technological components, APIs, or proprietary tooling; it is distributed to users via website-based, self-serve access at the AIID domain. No app, SDK, or named technical architecture has been documented in available sources.

The organization sustains itself as a non-profit through donations accepted via Stripe, and may receive additional support from collaborators and partners. It is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or acquisition activity. No headcount, management team, office locations, pricing model, or audited financials are publicly disclosed, limiting insight into operating scale.
