ABSTRACT. Information hazards are risks that arise from the dissemination or the potential dissemination of true information that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm.

This paper surveys the terrain and proposes a taxonomy. pp. 44–79 Keywords: information hazard, true information, harm, knowledge |
