Vedrana Krajišnik Ćosović, a senior official at Bosnia and Herzegovina's Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees, posted an AI-generated image glorifying convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić on social media. The incident prompted an official investigation by the Ministry's Ethics Commission due to legal and ethical violations.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was used to generate the image that glorifies a convicted war criminal, which constitutes a violation of legal and human rights norms. This use of AI has directly led to a disciplinary procedure and raises concerns about the misuse of AI for harmful content that can impact communities and violate rights. Since the AI-generated content is central to the event and the harm relates to violations of human rights and legal obligations, this qualifies as an AI Incident. The event is not merely a potential risk but involves realized harm through the dissemination of inappropriate content by a government official.[AI generated]
