An AI system is involved as the article explicitly mentions AI face-swapping technology used to replace the actress's face in the film. However, the article does not report any direct or indirect harm such as injury, rights violations, or other significant harms resulting from this use. The event is primarily about the use of AI for altering media content and the resulting controversy or public reaction, but no specific harm or legal violation is detailed.
