An AI-generated deepfake video falsely accusing journalist Julia Mengolini of incest was widely circulated online, leading to a coordinated harassment campaign amplified by Argentine President Javier Milei. The incident resulted in reputational harm, misogynistic abuse, and threats, raising concerns about press freedom and increased risk of violence due to AI-driven disinformation.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions an AI-generated video used to spread false and harmful content about a journalist, which has been widely disseminated and supported by a political figure, leading to harassment and threats. This meets the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly led to harm to a person (reputational and psychological harm) and harm to communities (erosion of freedom of expression and increased risk of violence). The involvement of AI in generating the defamatory video is central to the harm described, not merely background information or potential future risk.[AI generated]
