The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Meta's AI content moderation algorithm repeatedly misclassified artistic nude images from sculptor Jago's work 'La David' as explicit content, resulting in censorship and account restrictions. This automated action limited Jago's artistic expression and audience reach, raising concerns about AI-driven violations of artistic freedom and rights.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves an AI system (Meta's content moderation algorithm) whose use has directly led to a violation of the artist's rights to freedom of expression and access to cultural content, which can be considered a violation of human rights or fundamental rights. The censorship of legitimate artistic content by an automated system without human oversight or proper context constitutes harm to the artist and the community's access to art. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to the realized harm caused by the AI system's use in content moderation leading to unjustified censorship and account blocking.[AI generated]
