A viral deepfake video, created using generative AI, falsely depicted Dr. Florence Ajimobi making inflammatory statements about the 2027 Oyo State elections. Ajimobi publicly refuted the video, warning that such AI-manipulated content threatens political transparency and can mislead the public, incite tension, and undermine democracy.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves an AI system (generative AI creating deepfake video) whose use has directly led to harm by spreading false information about a political figure, thereby harming the integrity of political discourse and potentially violating rights related to reputation and truthful information. Since the harm is occurring and the AI system's role is pivotal in creating the misleading content, this qualifies as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
