Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves the use of AI systems (deepfake technology) to create realistic fake videos of celebrities, which were then used to deceive people into purchasing fake products, resulting in financial harm. This constitutes an AI Incident because the AI system's use directly led to harm (financial fraud) to individuals. The police operation and arrests confirm the harm has occurred and is being addressed.[AI generated]
