As autonomous systems rapidly become ubiquitous, there is a growing need for a legal and regulatory framework that addresses when and how such a system harms someone. There have been several attempts within the philosophy literature to define harm, but none of them has proven capable of dealing with the many examples that have been presented, leading some to suggest that the notion of harm should be abandoned and "replaced by more well-behaved notions". As harm is generally something that is caused, most of these definitions have involved causality at some level. Yet surprisingly, none of them makes use of causal models and the definitions of actual causality that they can express. In this paper we formally define a qualitative notion of harm that uses causal models and is based on a well-known definition of actual causality [13]. The key features of our definition are that it is based on contrastive causation and uses a default utility to which the utility of actual outcomes is compared. We show that our definition is able to handle the examples from the literature, and illustrate its importance for reasoning about situations involving autonomous systems.

We give examples of computing the path-specific harm in Appendices B-D. Omission Problem: Alice decides not to give Bob a set of golf clubs. Therefore, according to the CCA, Alice's decision not to give Bob the'Bob given clubs', and outcome Whatever utility function describes Bob's preferences, the action Note there are other reasonable scenarios where Alice's actions would constitute harm. 'the clerk Alice harmed Bob by not giving him golf clubs'. For example, if Bob's utility is U ( y)= y (i.e. 1 for clubs, 0 for no clubs), then the harm caused by Alice is P ( Y A moment later, Eve would have robbed Bob of his clubs.

We show that our definition is able to handle the examples from the literature, and illustrate its importance for reasoning about situations involving autonomous systems.

Though "The Last of Us Part II" ended 2020 as the year's most highly acclaimed title, it arrived last summer in a flurry of controversy. In the aforementioned scene, the main character of the first game, Joel Miller, was brutally murdered by a new character and protagonist to the series, Abby Anderson. In a cabin besieged by a heavy snowstorm, Abby reached for a nearby set of golf clubs to deal the fatal blow that left many players horrified, saddened, and in some cases, incredibly angry.

Artificial intelligence can make it nearly impossible for fraudsters to make a false claim appear real, the founder of an A.I. vendor suggests. If an auto insurance claim is fraudulent, A.I. software could pick up on that as long as it has enough data about other fraudulent – and legitimate – claims, said Gary Saarenvirta, founder and CEO of Toronto-based Daisy Intelligence. Daisy's software is designed to detect "outliers," or things that are out of the ordinary. Insurers tend not to share their full definition of a "normal" claim. As a result, it is actually impossible for someone to manufacture a claim that also sits in the middle of what the insurer says is normal in every way, Saarenvirta told Canadian Underwriter in an interview.

At Callaway, the high-end golf-equipment stalwart, the process of making clubs has always been quite labor-intensive--from grinding and polishing clubheads to crafting wood-and-steel-shafted irons and wedges. The company has also long combined such artisanal handwork with technological innovation, even partnering with aerospace titan Boeing recently to codesign several aerodynamic clubs. So when the company set out about four years ago to make its latest club line, called Epic Flash, it took the next evolutionary technological step, turning to artificial intelligence and machine learning for help. A typical club-design process might involve five to seven physical prototypes; for Epic Flash, Callaway created 15,000 virtual ones. From those, an algorithm determined the best design, selecting for peak performance--i.e., ball speed--while also conforming to the rules set forth by the U.S. Golf Association.
