The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

AI-generated fake videos and statements falsely claimed Taiwanese legislator Wang Shijian traveled to China, spreading misinformation on platforms like Douyin and YouTube. Wang publicly denied the claims, clarified his social media presence, and urged the public to report and disregard the AI-generated content to prevent further reputational harm and misinformation.[AI generated]

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

The article explicitly mentions the use of AI to generate fake videos impersonating Wang Shijian, which constitutes the use of an AI system to create misleading content. This misuse of AI leads to harm in the form of misinformation and reputational damage, which can be considered harm to communities and violation of rights. Since the harm is occurring (the fake videos are circulating and causing confusion), this qualifies as an AI Incident.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was explicitly involved in creating a deepfake video, which is a misuse of AI technology. The event involves the use of AI-generated content to mislead the public, which could plausibly lead to harm such as reputational damage or misinformation spread. However, the article does not report any actual harm or incident resulting from this deepfake video; the legislator has denied the claim and clarified the situation. Thus, the event is best classified as an AI Hazard, reflecting the plausible future harm from AI misuse rather than an AI Incident with realized harm.
