Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was used to generate videos cloning Luisito Comunica's image without consent, which constitutes a violation of his rights. The harm is realized as the unauthorized use of his likeness for political promotion, which is a breach of personal and possibly intellectual property rights. This fits the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's use directly led to a violation of rights (c).[AI generated]
