Physical harm
The risk that the AI system's outputs lead to physical injury to individuals or damage to property. This includes risks from autonomous vehicles, robotic actuation, faulty navigation guidance, or critical-infrastructure errors that put bodies or property in harm's way. Mitigations may include rigorous safety testing, fail-safe defaults, geofencing of hazardous behavior, and human oversight of high-stakes physical actions.
