Loss of autonomy
The risk that the AI system limits a person's ability to make their own decisions, control their identity, or choose freely. This includes risks of restricted access to alternatives, deceptive design that nudges decisions toward a particular outcome, and lack of meaningful consent. Mitigations may include opt-out mechanisms, transparent recommendations, defaults that protect agency, and human review of consequential decisions.
