Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The 'anti-fraud customer service reminder' function involves AI systems (Tencent Cloud intelligent service) that analyze transaction context and provide real-time risk warnings. The AI system's use directly prevented financial harm to a user by identifying a likely scam and advising cancellation of the transaction. Since the AI system's involvement directly led to harm prevention, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the definition of harm to property and individuals through the use of AI systems.[AI generated]
