British-Angolan-Portuguese artist IAMDDB accused the Israeli government of using an AI-generated version of her likeness and voice in a propaganda video without her consent. The video, shared on official Israeli social media accounts, violated her personal and intellectual property rights, raising concerns over AI misuse for political messaging.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event clearly involves an AI system generating a video that uses the singer's likeness without permission, which is a direct violation of her rights. The use of AI to create this unauthorized content and its dissemination by a government account directly led to harm in terms of identity theft and misuse of personal image. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the category of violations of human rights and intellectual property rights.[AI generated]
