Taxonomy/Risks & Mitigation

Civil liberties harm

Civil liberties harm

The risk that the AI system compromises fundamental human rights and civil liberties — speech, assembly, movement, due process, or freedom from arbitrary surveillance. This includes risks from mass facial recognition, predictive policing, censorship of lawful expression, and chilling effects on protest. Mitigations may include strict purpose limits, judicial or independent oversight, narrow data retention, and human-rights impact assessments before deployment.
