Alleged AI-Generated Photo Alteration Leads to Inappropriate Modifications in Speaker's Conference Picture

October 15, 2024

An incident occurred where an AI image expansion tool, used by conference organizers, unintentionally altered Elizabeth Laraki’s profile picture for marketing purposes. The AI-generated error caused her blouse to appear unbuttoned and show a fabricated glimpse of undergarments. The lower part of the image was generated during vertical formatting. The conference organizers swiftly apologized and took down the altered content, emphasizing the need for trustworthy and safe AI practices.
