360AI Accused of Image Theft at Product Launch

An AI system (AIGC image generation) was used to create original artwork, which 360 then employed without permission at its product launch. This unauthorized use constitutes a breach of intellectual property rights—a harm that has materialized, prompting litigation. Therefore it is an AI Incident.

An AI system (the AWPortrait1.2 model) was used to generate content. 360’s unauthorized use of that AI-generated image directly violated the creator’s intellectual property rights, causing realized harm. This constitutes a breach of legal obligations protecting IP and thus qualifies as an AI Incident.

360’s AI “局部重绘” feature directly reused an AI‐generated image created by DynamicWang without permission, constituting a violation of the creator’s intellectual property rights. This is a realized harm (unauthorized use of copyrighted AI content) and fits the definition of an AI Incident under ‘violation of human rights or breach of obligations intended to protect intellectual property.’

An AI drawing model generated the original image, and 360’s AI browser demo used that image without a license or permission, constituting an alleged violation of intellectual property rights (copyright). This is a specific, realized harm—an IP infringement—stemming directly from the use of an AI system’s output. Therefore it qualifies as an AI Incident.

360’s unauthorized use of a third party’s AI-generated image constitutes a breach of intellectual property rights.
