Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves the use of AI to create a fake video of a celebrity, which is then used to deceive and defraud people on a social media platform. This constitutes harm to individuals through fraud and deception, which is a significant harm to communities and individuals. The AI system's use in generating the fake video is directly linked to the harm caused by the scam. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
