Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The videos are explicitly generated by AI systems and are spreading sexist, racist, and violent stereotypes that harm communities and violate rights. The AI system's use in generating and disseminating this harmful content on a popular platform directly leads to social harm. The article describes realized harm through the propagation of discriminatory and hateful narratives, not just potential harm. Hence, it meets the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
