Privacy Erosion
The gradual harm to individuals' anonymous space and right to privacy caused by long-term, large-scale data accumulation and surveillance technologies. It is a diffuse harm.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Over-focusing on catastrophic risks (such as superintelligence going out of control) may produce a "risk displacement" effect, diverting policy resources and public attention away from everyday harms such as algorithmic bias and privacy erosion.
Algorithmic bias and privacy erosion are diffuse harms, not manifested as single measurable explosive events, but producing social impact through long-term, large-scale, low-intensity differential treatment or data accumulation.
Anthropic's proposal focuses only on direct harm and ignores chronic, diffuse harms such as algorithmic bias and privacy erosion.
