AI-generated videos originating from Iranian sources threatened Barron Trump, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, by offering a $10 million reward for information about his whereabouts.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system was used to generate a realistic video that spreads unverified and threatening information about Barron Trump, which directly leads to harm by threatening his safety and privacy. The threat of a $10 million reward for information about him indicates a clear and direct risk to his personal security. The Secret Service's involvement confirms that the threat is taken seriously and is not merely hypothetical. The AI's role is pivotal as it enabled the creation and dissemination of this harmful content. Hence, this event meets the criteria for an AI Incident involving harm to a person.[AI generated]
