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

In Hubei, China, a plaintiff's representative used an AI image generator to create fake photographic evidence in a rental dispute, submitting images with visible AI watermarks to the court. The forgery was detected by the judge, leading to legal admonishment and the rejection of the falsified evidence, highlighting risks of AI misuse in legal proceedings.[AI generated]

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

The event involves the use of an AI system to generate forged photographic evidence submitted in a legal proceeding.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was explicitly involved in generating forged photographic evidence used in a legal dispute, which directly led to harm by undermining the judicial process and violating legal rights and obligations. The AI-generated fake evidence was submitted as part of the litigation, constituting a misuse of AI technology that caused a violation of law and judicial order. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's use directly led to a breach of legal obligations and harm to the judicial system's integrity.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions the use of generative AI to create fake photos with watermarks, fabricated legal statutes, and invented judicial cases that were submitted as evidence or legal references in court. This use of AI has directly led to misinformation and attempts to deceive judicial authorities, which constitutes harm to the legal process and potentially violates legal rights. The courts' need to expend additional effort to verify such AI-generated fabrications also indicates a disruption and increased cost in judicial operations. Since the harm is realized and directly linked to AI system use, this event is classified as an AI Incident.
