In April, a Bee Cheng Hiang employee used a generative AI tool to write code for marketing emails, but a poorly crafted prompt led to the exposure of over 95,000 customer email addresses.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves the use of an AI tool in the development or use phase, where a programming error caused a significant data breach exposing personal information of many customers. This constitutes a violation of privacy rights and data protection laws, which falls under harm category (c) - violations of human rights or breach of obligations under applicable law. The AI system's malfunction or misuse directly led to the harm, qualifying this as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
