They aren’t harmful to people and they eat pest insects - great garden buddies, if you find one inside it’s lost… Pick it up in a cup and take it outside to the grass somewhere.
We have similar relatives of theirs in Australia, the most common one we simply call the ‘garden spider’ or garden wolf spider.
