Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was explicitly used to generate synthetic images that falsely depict a person, leading to reputational and privacy harm. The unauthorized use of AI to create and spread false images constitutes a violation of rights and defamation, which fits the definition of an AI Incident under violations of human rights or breach of obligations protecting fundamental rights. The harm is realized and ongoing, as the images have been widely disseminated and legal action is underway. Therefore, this event qualifies as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
