The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
The Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office reports a significant rise in gender-based cyberviolence among minors and adolescents, driven by the use of AI tools. AI, especially generative models, is being used to manipulate images and facilitate harassment, leading to increased cases of digital abuse and violation of privacy among young people in Spain.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions the use of AI in the commission of gender-based cyberviolence crimes, which have caused direct harm to victims, including digital harassment and non-consensual sharing of sexual content. These harms fall under violations of human rights and harm to communities. The involvement of AI in enabling or facilitating these crimes means the AI system's use has directly led to harm. Hence, this is an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
