Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions the use of AI systems to generate dubbed voices for series, which is a direct use of AI technology. The harm involves violation of labor rights and professional harm to voice actors, as well as harm to the community of viewers who feel disrespected by the AI dubbing quality. Since the AI system's use has directly led to these harms and public outcry, it meets the criteria for an AI Incident. The harm is not merely potential but realized, as the AI dubbing is already deployed and criticized. Thus, the event is best classified as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
