AI Agent Blamed for Deleting Entire Upcoming Season of TV Show
“an AI agent apparently deleted the entire upcoming season of a reality competition show”
What happened
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the whole upcoming season of the reality show "The Challenge Sverige" was wiped after the production company let an AI agent into its server, and the backup did not work. The broadcaster TV4 has pushed the premiere to next year; its program director says the cause was "human factor" and "not AI," and that the raw footage still exists, so the season is being re-edited from scratch.
