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

The use of ChatGPT during the interview directly contributed to the candidate's dishonest representation of qualifications, which is a violation of professional and ethical standards and poses a risk to patient care. The AI system's involvement in generating false answers that influenced the hiring process led to a tangible harm: the undermining of trust in healthcare professionals and potential jeopardy to patient safety. This fits the definition of an AI Incident as the AI system's use directly led to harm related to human rights and professional obligations.[AI generated]
