Information Hazards: A Typology of Potential Harms from Knowledge (2011)
Manage episode 338394635 series 3377084
By Nick Bostrom.
Abstract:
Information hazards are risks that arise from the dissemination or the potential dissemination of true information that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm. Such hazards are often subtler than direct physical threats, and, as a consequence, are easily overlooked. They can, however, be important. This paper surveys the terrain and proposes a taxonomy.
