The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
A generative AI system on X (formerly Twitter) created and distributed a false news summary misattributing a policy from Nagahama City to Kyoto City. Kyoto City requested the removal of the misinformation, which X promptly deleted and apologized for. The incident caused public confusion and reputational harm in Japan.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system (generative AI) was involved in creating the erroneous summary that led to the spread of false information about Kyoto City's policies. This misinformation was disseminated through an official channel, causing harm to the community by spreading false narratives about local government actions. Although the misinformation was removed promptly, the event constitutes an AI Incident because the AI-generated content directly led to the harm of spreading false information, which can be considered harm to communities and a violation of rights to accurate information.[AI generated]
