Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system (Muse AI) was used to generate content based on publicly available user images without explicit consent, which constitutes a violation of rights (image, likeness, and intellectual property). The event involves the use of an AI system, its deployment, and the resulting harm through unauthorized use of personal data. The harm is realized as it caused significant backlash and rights violations concerns. The withdrawal is a response but does not negate the incident. Therefore, this is an AI Incident due to direct harm caused by the AI system's use.[AI generated]
