The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Leaked documents reveal that Chinese authorities are using advanced AI censorship tools to automatically remove any online references to the Tiananmen Square massacre. The system flags subtle visual metaphors – like a banana and four apples imitating the famous 'Tank Man' – erasing historical memory and violating free expression.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI systems involved are language models that have been deliberately designed or configured to censor sensitive content related to Tiananmen Square. This censorship constitutes a violation of the right to access information, a human rights issue. Since the AI systems' use directly leads to the suppression of information and thus a violation of rights, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the framework, specifically a violation of human rights (c). The article describes ongoing realized harm through the AI systems' censorship, not just a potential risk or future harm, so it is not a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
