A legal provision shielding parties from liability or enforcement when they meet specified conditions. In the AI context, safe harbors appear in several forms: some state AI laws (such as Colorado's AI Act) provide safe harbors for organizations following recognized frameworks like the NIST AI RMF; Section 230 provides platform immunity that may apply to certain AI-generated content (although the scope is contested); and contractual safe harbors may limit liability when parties follow agreed procedures. Safe harbor protection typically requires documented, good-faith implementation rather than mere assertion of alignment.
