Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI systems in the form of autonomous and AI-enhanced drones used in warfare. The attacks on the developers of these AI systems have directly led to physical harm (injury and death) to individuals, fulfilling the criteria for harm to persons. The AI systems' role is pivotal as the attacks aim to disrupt the development and deployment of these AI-enabled weapons. Therefore, this is an AI Incident due to realized harm linked to the use and development of AI systems in a military context.[AI generated]
