The First Global Casebook of AI Harms: 100 Sectors, 10,000 Subdomains of a Machine-Ruled World - One Human Conscience

Artificial intelligence has already entered every sector of human life - from health and justice to education, labor, governance, culture, and war. But the world has no common canon for remembering its failures. This book changes that.

The First Global Casebook of AI Harms is the first comprehensive map of how intelligent machines are damaging human life across 100 sectors and 10,000 subsectors worldwide. Structured in the tradition of law school casebooks but elevated into a global moral canon, it documents harms not as isolated "glitches" but as systemic failures: misdiagnosed patients, students erased by exam bots, workers fired by algorithms, refugees denied entry by automated risk scores.

Each case follows a locked teaching model:

    • Introductory warning - prophetic insight into what happens when AI is built without values.
    • Narrative case study - 700+ words of lived harm from across continents.
    • Explainer box - plain-language guide for public and student understanding.
    • Core value violated - grounded in the Universal Ruhangariyo Reflection Protocol (URRP).
    • Conscience code reflection - moral and practical remedies.
    • Exercises - reflection, debate, and policy scenarios for classrooms and communities.

Just as Health Law: Cases, Materials, and Problems became the definitive canon for medicine and law, this Casebook is designed to become the reference text for humanity's encounter with AI. Its coordinates system (Sector-Family-Subsector-Case) functions like a Dewey Decimal for AI harms, ensuring every harm has an address and no injustice can be orphaned or forgotten.

Across various sectors of human life - Health, Justice, Education, Labor & Economy, Governance & Politics, Social & Cultural Life, Environment & Resources, Global Inequalities, Technology & Infrastructure, and The Future of Humanity - the Casebook captures harms already unfolding:

What emerges is a canon equal to the crisis: 40,000 cases mapped, structured, and preserved with evidence, methodology, and moral fire. Every sector is tied back to six continents' wisdom traditions - Ubuntu from Africa, Ahimsa from Asia, Kinship from the Americas, Manaakitanga from Oceania, Memory from Europe, Resistance from the Global South - to ensure this canon speaks with a truly global conscience.

This Casebook is more than testimony. It is a thunderbolt. It warns that the greatest danger of AI is not its power, but its lack of conscience. By cataloguing harms with rigor and moral clarity, it equips professors, policymakers, activists, and citizens with the memory and tools to resist the orphaning of humanity.

If the twentieth century required constitutions and health law, the twenty-first requires a canon of conscience. The First Global Casebook of AI Harms is that canon - a reference text for classrooms, governments, and movements worldwide.
