Philippine Officials Spread AI-Generated Deepfake Video, Eroding Public Trust

An AI system was used to generate a fake video that was shared by government officials, leading to the spread of disinformation and erosion of public trust. The harm to communities through misinformation is realized and directly linked to the AI-generated content. The officials' sharing of the AI-generated video without acknowledging its falsehood contributes to the harm. This fits the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's use directly led to harm (disinformation and erosion of trust).

An AI-generated video was shared by public officials, which is a form of AI-generated content leading to misinformation. The sharing of this content by officials can erode public trust and cause harm to communities through disinformation.
