Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event explicitly mentions the use of AI to create a deep fake video that misrepresents a political figure, which is being used to malign his image and mislead the public. This constitutes a violation of rights and harm to communities by spreading false information and sowing social division. The AI system's use in generating the deep fake video is central to the harm caused. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
