The sources describe a human offender using AI and do not describe an autonomous agent, so agent_involved is set to false and failure-class fields are omitted. No trigger, root cause, controls, or safeguards are stated, so those fields are omitted. The exact date of creation is not stated. The source for the tip is not stated, so detection_method is omitted. The date_disclosed is not given as a quoted sentence in any source (the article dates are page metadata only), so it is omitted. The number of victims and schools is not stated (only several schools), so third_parties_affected_count is omitted. Judgement: date_detected is set to 2025-10 from the month the investigation began after a tip. Judgement: severity is moderate because the victims are others' data with a bounded scope (teen girls from several high schools in Calgary). Background on other cases and laws in Global News is excluded as not about this incident. No remediation by a party is reported; police actions (support services, warnings) are not counted as remediations.
