A new analysis of AI -related risks finds significant gaps in our understanding of the risks posed by AI .

The most frequently addressed risk domains included "AI system safety, failures, and limitations" "Socioeconomic and environmental harms" ( 73% ) "Discrimination and toxicity" ( 71% ) "Privacy and security" ( 68% ) "Malicious actors and misuse" received comparatively less attention.

On average, frameworks mentioned just 34% of the 23 risk subdomains identified.

MIT 's AI Risk Repository is the first attempt to rigorously curate, analyze, and extract AI risk frameworks into a publicly accessible, comprehensive, extensible, and categorized risk database.

It is part of a larger effort to understand how we are responding to AI risks and to identify if there are gaps in our current approaches.
