The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
AI-manipulated videos falsely showing former President Tsai Ing-wen endorsing a major recall vote circulated widely on social media, misleading the public and garnering thousands of interactions.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system is involved as the video is AI-generated or AI-manipulated content (deepfake). The use of this AI-generated video for political disinformation constitutes a violation of rights, specifically undermining democratic processes and potentially misleading voters, which is a harm to communities and political rights. Since the manipulated video has been circulated and has influenced public discourse, this is a realized harm, not just a potential one. Therefore, this event qualifies as an AI Incident due to the direct use of AI-generated disinformation causing harm to political rights and communities.[AI generated]
