Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event clearly involves AI systems, specifically generative AI used to create deepfake content. The circulation of such manipulated media can cause harm to the individual's reputation and dignity, which can be considered harm to the person or community. The Royal Palace's intervention to remove the content indicates recognition of harm caused. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to realized harm from AI-generated content.[AI generated]
