A Canadian artist has had their show cancelled after an AI system incorrectly labelled them as a sex offender. The artist, whose name has not been released, is preparing to sue Google over the incident.

The artist's show was scheduled to take place at a local venue, but was cancelled after the AI system flagged them as a sex offender. The artist claims that they were not given any warning or explanation for the cancellation, and are now seeking compensation from Google.

This incident highlights the potential risks and consequences of relying on AI systems to make decisions about individuals. While AI can be a powerful tool for processing and analyzing large amounts of data, it is not infallible and can make mistakes.

The artist's case is not an isolated incident. There have been several reports of AI systems incorrectly labelling individuals as sex offenders, leading to serious consequences for those affected.

The incident has sparked a wider debate about the use of AI in decision-making processes, and the need for greater transparency and accountability in the development and deployment of AI systems.
