Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The involvement of an AI system (GPT-3) is explicit, and its use in generating misinformation campaigns is demonstrated experimentally. The harm described (misinformation affecting public health and democratic processes) is a recognized form of harm to communities and health. Since the article focuses on the potential for such harm rather than reporting an actual incident of harm caused by AI-generated misinformation, it fits the definition of an AI Hazard. The call for regulation and ethical principles further supports the interpretation that the harm is plausible but not yet realized.
