Privacy Harms

"These harms relate to violations of an individual’s or group’s moral or legal right to privacy. Such harms may be exacerbated by assistants that influence users to disclose personal information or private information that pertains to others. Resultant harms might include identity theft, or stigmatisation and discrimination based on individual or group characteristics. This could have a detrimental impact, particularly on marginalised communities. Furthermore, in principle, state-owned AI assistants could employ manipulation or deception to extract private information for surveillance purposes."
