Description: The ‘Harmful AI’ refers to artificial intelligence systems that have the potential to cause harm to individuals or society as a whole. This concept encompasses a wide range of applications and situations where AI can be used irresponsibly or maliciously, leading to negative consequences. The ethics of AI focuses on the need to develop and use these technologies in ways that minimize risks and maximize benefits. Harmful AI can manifest through biases in algorithms, where automated decisions may perpetuate social inequalities, or in the creation of systems that facilitate misinformation, such as deepfakes. Concerns about harmful AI also include the possibility that these technologies may be used in contexts of mass surveillance or in critical decision-making without adequate human oversight. In this sense, ethics and bias in AI are crucial topics, as the lack of transparency and accountability in the design and implementation of AI systems can lead to detrimental outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to establish ethical frameworks and regulations that guide the development of artificial intelligence, ensuring that it is used fairly and responsibly, thus protecting individuals and society as a whole.
