Description: In China, AI tools were reportedly used to fabricate and disseminate false reports of disasters, including a landslide in Yunnan, an earthquake in Sichuan, and a sudden death after a traffic incident. On May 27, 2024, a real 5.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in Muli County, Sichuan, with no casualties and limited property damage. However, a social media post later falsely claimed the epicenter was in Xide County and exaggerated the event's severity, adding fabricated images of extensive destruction. The deployers of these false reports have since received administrative penalties from Chinese authorities for their actions.
Editor Notes: Incident 835 presents multiple discrete AI-related incidents, each pointing to the wider application of AI tools to fabricate events and spread misinformation on social media throughout China, similar to Incident 834. Anonymous names like "Moumou" are used to preserve privacy in reporting. The following is a reconstruction of the timeline of events associated with this incident ID: (1) 1/23/2024, a fabricated landslide incident in Yunnan: Yang Moumou allegedly used AI tools to create and share a fake news article claiming that a landslide in Yunnan had resulted in eight deaths. That misinformation was posted on social media to attract views and engagement. Authorities identified the incident as AI-driven misinformation, and Yang was subsequently given an administrative penalty. (2) 5/27/2024, a real 5.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in Muli County, Sichuan. It resulted in minor property damage but no casualties. However, this actual event would later become the basis for an exaggerated AI-fabricated narrative. (3) 6/9/2024, a fabricated earthquake report in Xide County, Sichuan: Luo Moumou reportedly used AI to enhance and circulate a false report about the May 27 earthquake, falsely claiming the epicenter was in Xide County, Sichuan, with severe property damage and casualties. The fabricated images and videos spread quickly on social media, which led to confusion and alarm. Luo received an administrative penalty for disseminating false information. (4) Sometime in June 2024, a fabricated fatal traffic incident in Chengcheng County: Tian Mou used AI to create and post a story claiming that a middle-aged woman in Chengcheng County suffered a fatal heart attack after her electric scooter was impounded during a traffic stop. The narrative was designed to generate an emotional response for the purposes of driving engagement, but it misled the public. Tian admitted to fabricating the story using AI and was issued an administrative penalty.

Variantes
Une "Variante" est un incident qui partage les mêmes facteurs de causalité, produit des dommages similaires et implique les mêmes systèmes intelligents qu'un incident d'IA connu. Plutôt que d'indexer les variantes comme des incidents entièrement distincts, nous listons les variations d'incidents sous le premier incident similaire soumis à la base de données. Contrairement aux autres types de soumission à la base de données des incidents, les variantes ne sont pas tenues d'avoir des rapports en preuve externes à la base de données des incidents.
