Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly states that AI is involved in a large majority of security breaches, which are harmful events affecting organizations and potentially individuals. The use of AI by attackers to accelerate breaches constitutes direct involvement of AI systems in causing harm. This fits the definition of an AI Incident, as the development and use of AI systems have directly led to harm through security breaches.[AI generated]
