An AI-generated deepfake image falsely depicting singer Vasilis Papakonstantinou in a hospital was widely circulated online, causing emotional distress, reputational harm, and public confusion.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
An AI system was explicitly used to generate a fake image of a person in a sensitive context (hospital recovery), which is offensive and harmful. The harm is realized as emotional distress and reputational damage, which falls under violations of rights and harm to communities. The AI's role is pivotal as it created the harmful content. Hence, this is an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.[AI generated]
