When Will AI’s Rewards Surpass Its Risks?
Aside from known risks, close to one-third of the risks seen with artificial intelligence are essentially unknown, but they’re out there. Recently, researchers at MIT CSAIL and MIT FutureTech developed a publicly available database, culled from reports, journals, and other documents to shed light on the risks AI experts are disclosing through papers, reports, and other documents.
The database of 700-plus AI risks finds more attributed to AI systems (51%) than humans (34%), and were more likely to be seem after AI was deployed (65%) rather than during its development (10%). However, even the most thorough AI frameworks overlook approximately 30% of the risks identified across the factors surfaced in the database.
