KBS AI Subtitle Error Broadcasts Profanity During Artemis II Launch

An AI system was explicitly involved in the live translation process, and its malfunction (misinterpretation of words) directly led to the harm of exposing offensive language to the public during a national broadcast. While the harm is reputational and social rather than physical, it constitutes harm to communities and public trust. The broadcaster's response and mitigation efforts are noted but do not negate the incident. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to the realized harm caused by the AI system's malfunction during use.

An AI system was explicitly involved in generating real-time subtitles during a live broadcast. The AI's mistranslation led to the display of offensive language, which caused reputational harm and public criticism. Although the harm is not physical or legal rights violation, the incident caused harm to the community's trust and the broadcaster's credibility, which qualifies as harm to communities. The AI system's malfunction directly led to this harm. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident.

An AI system was used for automatic real-time translation and subtitle generation, which malfunctioned by producing offensive language instead of correct technical terms. This caused harm in the form of inappropriate content exposure to the audience, which can be considered harm to communities or reputational harm. The incident stems from the AI system's malfunction during use. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's malfunction directly led to harm (exposure to offensive content) and KBS is responding to mitigate the issue.

An AI system was involved in the automatic translation and subtitle generation, and it malfunctioned by producing inappropriate subtitles. The broadcaster acknowledged the issue and is taking steps to prevent recurrence. The incident caused viewer criticism and reputational damage but no direct or indirect harm fitting the AI Incident criteria (such as injury, rights violations, or significant community harm). The main focus is on the broadcaster's response and improvement efforts, making this a Complementary Information case rather than an AI Incident or AI Hazard.

An AI system was explicitly used for real-time translation subtitles, and its malfunction directly led to the harm of reputational damage and public offense due to the inappropriate use of profanity in a live broadcast. Although the harm is non-physical, it affects community trust and broadcasting professionalism, which can be considered harm to communities or a violation of broadcasting standards. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident. The incident also includes a response and mitigation effort, but the primary event is the AI malfunction causing harm.

An AI system was explicitly involved in the live translation process, and its malfunction directly led to the display of offensive content during a public broadcast. While the harm is primarily reputational and social (viewer offense and trust erosion), it does not meet the threshold for physical injury, critical infrastructure disruption, or legal rights violations. The incident is a clear case of AI malfunction causing harm (offensive content dissemination), thus qualifying as an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.

An AI system was explicitly involved in the automatic translation and subtitle generation process. The malfunction led to the direct display of offensive language to the public, which constitutes harm to communities through exposure to inappropriate content. Although the harm is non-physical, it is a clear and significant harm caused by the AI system's malfunction during its use. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident.

An AI system was explicitly involved in generating real-time subtitles during a live broadcast. The AI malfunctioned by incorrectly translating words into offensive language, which was directly broadcast to the public, causing harm to the community through exposure to inappropriate content and reputational damage to the public broadcaster. This constitutes harm to communities and a breach of expected content standards. Therefore, this event qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's malfunction directly led to harm.

An AI system was explicitly used for automatic translation subtitles, and its malfunction (misinterpretation of technical terms leading to offensive language) directly caused reputational harm and potential viewer distress. Although no physical harm or legal violation is reported, the incident constitutes a clear harm related to the AI system's malfunction during its use. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to the direct harm caused by the AI system's erroneous output during live broadcasting.

An AI system was used for live translation, and its malfunction directly led to the harm of broadcasting offensive language, which can be considered harm to communities due to exposure to inappropriate content. Although the harm is non-physical, it is a clear negative impact caused by the AI system's erroneous output. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident.

An AI system was explicitly involved in the real-time translation and subtitle generation. The malfunction (misinterpretation of words leading to offensive subtitles) directly caused harm by exposing the audience to inappropriate content, which harms community trust and violates broadcasting norms. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to the realized harm caused by the AI system's malfunction during use.

An AI system was explicitly used for real-time translation, and its malfunction directly led to the harm of displaying offensive language to viewers, including children, which can be considered harm to communities and a violation of broadcasting standards. The incident is a clear case where the AI system's malfunction caused harm, qualifying it as an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.
