Real-world harms caused by the use of AI technologies are widespread. Tracking and analyzing them improves our understanding of the variety of harms and the circumstances that lead to their occurrence once AI systems are deployed. This report presents a standardized conceptual framework for defining, tracking, classifying, and understanding harms caused by AI. It lays out the key elements required for the identification of AI harm, their basic relational structure, and definitions without imposing a single interpretation of AI harm. The brief concludes with an example of how to apply and customize the framework while keeping its modular structure.

Collaborations between researchers and policymakers are necessary for progress, but can be challenging in practice. This blog post reports on recent discussions by privacy experts on the obstacles they face when engaging in the policy space and advice on how to improve these barriers.
