Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly states that Netflix collected and used behavioral data from children's profiles to train algorithms for advertising, which constitutes the use of AI systems. The alleged harms include violations of privacy and digital rights, deceptive business practices, and potential exploitation of children, which fall under violations of human rights and legal obligations. The involvement of AI in data processing and advertising targeting is central to the complaint. Therefore, this event meets the criteria for an AI Incident due to realized harm linked to AI system use.[AI generated]
