Design against foreseeable misuse: What should designers address?

AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Development Easy

Designers must address foreseeable misuse, including repeated attempts to infer sensitive conditions.

The question

Under the organization's internal AI-use policy, a research-administration assistant summarizes participant records. Staff commonly ask it to identify people who may have undisclosed medical conditions, although that use is outside the stated purpose. What should designers address?

  1. Publish a general reminder about the approved purpose.
    A reminder may clarify expectations, but it is insufficient when recurring misuse is already foreseeable in practice.
  2. Improve summary fluency for approved workflows.
    Better summaries support the intended task but do not address recurring requests to infer sensitive participant information.
  3. Design against foreseeable misuse. ✓
    Repeated requests to infer sensitive conditions make this misuse foreseeable and relevant to safeguards, access controls, and use boundaries during design.
  4. Evaluate only whether the model reproduces source records.
    Faithful reproduction does not resolve privacy risks created when users repurpose records to infer sensitive conditions.
The trap
Observed or predictable repurposing belongs in contextual risk analysis even when it violates the stated intended use.
