The inaugural International AI Safety Report, following the UK-hosted AI Safety Summit, outlines various risks associated with AI, such as job impact, environmental concerns, and the potential for exacerbating social biases. Commissioned under AI leader Yoshua Bengio, the report underscores the uncertainty surrounding AI threats and calls for continued monitoring and research. Notably, it identifies challenges in prioritizing risks and defining accountability, ultimately attributing the shaping of AI's future impacts to societal and governmental choices today.
Current evidence points to two central challenges in general-purpose AI risk management: First, it is difficult to prioritise risks due to uncertainty about their severity and likelihood of occurrence. Second, it can be complex to determine appropriate roles and responsibilities across the AI value chain, and to incentivise effective action.
The report emphasizes that the future impacts of AI hinge on political choices made by societies and governments today, impacting its development and applications.
