Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions the use of unauthorized copyrighted data (Library Genesis) for training AI models, which is a violation of intellectual property rights, a recognized harm under the AI Incident definition. The involvement of AI systems in this infringement is direct, as the data was used to develop and deploy AI language models. The harm is realized, not just potential, as the data was downloaded and used in model training. Hence, this event meets the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
