Generating Harms: Generative AI’s Impact & Paths Forward

Due to the fast-changing pace of development, use, and harms of Generative AI, it needs to be acknowledged that this is an inherently dynamic paper, subject to changes in the future.

Throughout this paper, a standard format is used to explain the typology of harms that generative AI can produce. Each section first explains relevant background information and potential risks imposed by generative AI, then highlights specific harms and interventions that scholars and regulators have pursued to remedy each harm.
