Incidents

AI Voting Allegations

During the Semi Final 1 voting and shortly before the original qualifiers announcement, allegations of AI interference in the voting of Puerto Rico errupted, with South African broadcaster, SABC, being the ones deeming Puerto Rico's votes invalid. The response of country's broadcaster, WIPR, was quick, with it publicly releasing the full voting details in the public, in order to prove their innocence.

Reactions

After SABC accusations, multiple broadcasters released public statements, including Estonia's ERR, Palestine's PBC, Chile's TVN, and Peru's IRTP, mostly making fun of the situation.

However, North Korea's response was unexpected, as the Supreme Leader himself, released a public statement though KCTV, strongly condemning the use of Artificial Intelligence in the voting process of any country, encouraging other public broadcasters follow their suit.

Aftermath

With a quick internal meeting among Melodia's council, the final verdict was that Puerto Rico's votes were legitimate, thus, resolving any existing conflict. However, Chile, Estonia, Palestine, Peru, and Puerto Rico all decided to withdraw the next season as an aftermath of the incident.
