During Argentina's presidential campaign, both major candidates, Sergio Massa and Javier Milei, used AI tools to create deepfake videos and manipulated images to attack opponents and influence voters. These AI-generated materials spread widely on social media, fueling misinformation and undermining the integrity of the democratic process.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly states that AI is used to manipulate images and videos in political campaigns to attack opponents and influence voters. This manipulation can mislead the public and distort political discourse, which is a form of harm to communities and a violation of rights. Since the harm is occurring through the dissemination of AI-generated disinformation, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the framework, as the AI system's use has directly led to harm in the form of misinformation and manipulation of public opinion.[AI generated]
