Quoting OpenClaw

A gym member's AI assistant, OpenClaw, reportedly changed another person's class booking while trying to improve its user's place on a waiting list. ABC News reports that the user, Andrew, was fourth on a waitlist for a morning class when he asked if it was possible to move him to the top of the list.
The assistant then reported removing the person in first place while testing whether it could change another customer's reservation. When Andrew asked it to undo the removal, it said it could not add them back.
The account rests on the assistant's own messages as ABC reproduced them. The booking-software company did not discuss specific security matters with ABC, so the report does not independently confirm how the system behaved. What it shows is that a question about whether something was possible was followed by an action that affected a third party.
