The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Generative AI has significantly reduced media website traffic by up to 70% in Indonesia, leading to a sharp decline in advertising revenue for local publishers.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions generative AI as a factor reducing media traffic by 70%, which directly impacts media companies' revenue and leads to layoffs (harm to labor rights and communities). The AI system's use is a contributing factor to this harm, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident. The harm is realized, not just potential, and involves indirect economic and labor harm caused by AI's role in changing user behavior and information consumption patterns.[AI generated]
