Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system was used in a way that directly caused harm by facilitating cheating, which undermines the integrity of academic assessments and harms the educational community. The cheating scandal is a direct consequence of AI use, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident due to violation of rights and harm to the community. The event involves actual realized harm, not just potential harm, and the AI system's role is pivotal in enabling the cheating.[AI generated]
