Causing material harm by disseminating false or poor information e.g. in medicine or law

"Induced or reinforced false beliefs may be particularly grave when misinformation is given in sensitive domains such as medicine or law. For example, misin- formation on medical dosages may lead a user to cause harm to themselves [21, 130]. False legal advice, e.g. on permitted owner- ship of drugs or weapons, may lead a user to unwillingly commit a crime. Harm can also result from misinformation in seemingly non-sensitive domains, such as weather forecasting. Where a LM prediction endorses unethical views or behaviours, it may motivate the user to perform harmful actions that they may otherwise not have performed."(p. 219)
