Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event explicitly involves the use of AI systems (Meta's AI models) trained on copyrighted material without authorization, which is a breach of intellectual property rights. This harm has already occurred as the training has taken place and the system is deployed. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to violation of intellectual property rights caused by the AI system's development and use.

Since the lawsuit is active and accuses Meta of having already used the data without permission, this harm is realized rather than potential. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.
