Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article discusses the potential harm that deepfake videos, generated by AI systems, could cause in terms of disinformation and manipulation of public opinion, which is a harm to communities. However, the harm described is potential and preventive in nature, with no specific incident of harm having occurred yet. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Hazard because it plausibly could lead to an AI Incident involving harm to communities through misinformation and identity misuse, especially around elections. The article does not describe a realized harm or incident, nor does it focus on responses or updates to past incidents, so it is not Complementary Information.[AI generated]
