Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The article explicitly mentions AI-generated images and videos using Neha Sharma's face without consent, which is a direct misuse of an AI system's outputs. The harm involves reputational damage and unauthorized use of personal likeness, which are violations of rights. Since the harm is realized and the AI system's role is pivotal in creating the harmful content, this meets the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
