👉 Harm engineering refers to the deliberate design and implementation of systems, technologies, or processes that intentionally cause harm, often for malicious or unethical purposes. This can involve creating tools or mechanisms that exploit vulnerabilities, manipulate user behavior, or inflict psychological or physical distress. Harm engineering can manifest in various forms, such as cyberattacks that disrupt critical infrastructure, disinformation campaigns that sow discord, or even the development of autonomous weapons systems. The ethical implications are profound, as it challenges the principles of safety, privacy, and human dignity, often leading to significant societal and individual harm.
