structured examination of possible harm from a particular humanitarian AI use, its context and the capacity to prevent or respond to that harm
AidGPT working definition. Source basis below.
Notes to entry
Note 1 to entry: The DCI framework addresses intrinsic and contextual risk in social protection. Applying it to a humanitarian use requires contextual judgement. An incomplete assessment is not evidence of low risk.
Note 2 to entry: Keep the status and findings of distinct assessment frameworks separate. A classification code does not assign a risk level.
