Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The article discusses the potential risks posed by algorithmic decision-making and digital platforms in the financial sector, which involve AI systems. However, it does not describe any actual harm or incident caused by these AI systems. Instead, it focuses on warnings and regulatory approaches to manage these risks proactively. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Hazard, as the AI systems' involvement could plausibly lead to harm if left unchecked, but no incident has yet occurred.[AI generated]
