Undue Harm
What is Undue Harm and how does it relate to Generative AI?
"Undue harm" refers to harm or injury that is excessive or unnecessary in relation to the benefits of a particular action. The legal definition of undue harm may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the context in which it is used.
In general, the concept of undue harm is often used in legal and ethical frameworks to assess the risks and benefits of a particular action or decision. For example, in the context of medical treatments or procedures, undue harm might refer to harm that is disproportionate to the benefits of the treatment or that could have been avoided with alternative treatments or procedures.
In the context of generative AI, the use cases are vast and will undoubtedly be used in ways that cause "undue harm".
"Undue harm" was used specifically knowing that AI may be used to defend ideas that are good. We will not define what is good vs. bad in this framework and leave that to the discretion of it's users.
