"Risks from Unreliability stem from general purpose AI models that lack reliability, robustness, transparency, corrigibility, and interpretability, making it challenging to predict and control their behaviour fully. This includes Discrimination and Stereotype Reproduction, Misinformation and Privacy Violations, and Accidents." | X.1 > Excluded | 2 - AI | 2 - Unintentional
"General purpose AI models interpret and respond to inputs based on their training data, potentially causing Discrimination and Stereotype Reproduction. Since they are “black-box” models, the exact mechanism behind decisions remains opaque and attempts to mitigate harmful outputs are not fully reliable yet. These models have the capacity to influence a multitude of downstream applications, decisions, and processes, thereby affecting many individuals simultaneously. The extent of this impact could outstrip the range of any single human or group of humans, amplifying the potential consequences of embedded biases or stereotypes." | 1.

"General purpose AI models could exacerbate existing tactics for political destabilisation, such as disinformation campaigns, and surveillance efforts if misused for political motivations. The technological advancements in text and media generation of general purpose AI models could refine disinformation164 attempts to shape and polarise public opinion or influence important political events.165 The improved automated processing of text, audio, image, and video could be used for surveillance measures and exacerbate human right violations and repression of political oppositions." | 4.

"The increasing integration of general purpose AI models into every-day life raises concerns around their embedded normative values. The reach of a small number of AI models to a large number of people around the world can make these value judgements unprecedently impactful, potentially leading to increased ideological homogenization." | 1.

"Although the implementation of general purpose AI models as automation tools could be a major opportunity, overly rapid adoption of this technology at scale might outpace the ability of society to adapt effectively.

"OpenAI’s GPT-3 was designed to be dicult to extract personal information from, including for example public gures’ dates of birth. Even so, malicious uses of AI continue to encroach on privacy, as exemplied by China’s “Sharp Eye” automated surveillance system [551] and automated cyberattacks on personal data [354]. A more drastic form of AI-enabled surveillance could be on the way in the form of nonsurgical decoding of thoughts [54]—a technique which is reportedly already used by some police forces [398]." | 4.

"Developments in AI are giving companies and governments more control over individuals’ lives than ever before, and may possibly be used to undermine democratic processes. We are already seeing how the collection of large amounts of personal data can be used to surveil and influence populations, for example the use of facial recognition technology to surveil Uighur and other minority populations in China [66]. Further advances in language modelling could also be used to develop tools that can effectively persuade people of certain claims [42]." | 4.

"Epistemic processes and problem solving: we currently see more reasons to be concerned about AI worsening society's epistemic processes than reasons to be optimistic about AI helping us better solve problems as a society. For example, increased use of content selection algorithms could drive epistemic insularity and a decline in trust in credible multipartisan sources, which reducing our ability to deal with important long-term threats and challenges such as pandemics and climate change." | 3.

"One of the most significant commercial uses of current AI systems is in the content recommendation algorithms of social media companies, and there are already concerns that this is contributing to worsened polarisation online" | 3.

"At the same time, we are seeing how AI can be used to scale up the production of convincing yet false or misleading information online (e.g. via image, audio, and text synthesis models like BigGAN [6] and GPT-3 [7])." | 4.

"As AI capabilities advance, they may be used to develop sophisticated persuasion tools, such as those that tailor their communication to specific users to persuade them of certain claims [42]. While these tools could be used for social good— such as New York Times’ chatbot that helps users to persuade people to get vaccinated against Covid-19 [27]—there are also many ways they could be misused by self-interested groups to gain influence and/or to promote harmful ideologies." | 4. Malicious Actors & Misuse | 4.1 > Disinformation, surveillance, and influence at scale | 1 - Human | 1 - Intentional
"Even without deliberate misuse, widespread use of powerful persuasion tools could have negative impacts. If such tools were used by many different groups to advance many different ideas, we could see the world splintering into isolated “epistemic communities”, with little room for dialogue or transfer between communities. A similar scenario could emerge via the increasing personalisation of people’s online experiences—in other words, we may see a continuation of the trend towards “filter bubbles” and “echo chambers”, driven by content selection algorithms, that some argue is already happening [3, 25, 51]." | 3. Misinformation | 3.2 > Pollution of information ecosystem and loss of consensus reality | 1 - Human | 2 - Unintentional
"In addition, the increased awareness of these trends in information production and distribution could make it harder for anyone to evaluate the trustworthiness of any information source, reducing overall trust in information.
In all of these scenarios, it would be much harder for humanity to make good decisions on important issues, particularly due to declining trust in credible multipartisan sources, which could hamper attempts at cooperation and collective action. The vaccine and mask hesitancy that exacerbated Covid-19, for example, were likely the result of insufficient trust in public health advice [71]. These concerns could be especially worrying if they play out during another major world crisis. We could imagine an even more virulent pandemic, where actors exploit the opportunity to spread misinformation and disinformation to further their own ends. This could lead to dangerous practices, a significantly increased burden on health services, and much more catastrophic outcomes

"Contextual hazards can cause harm in certain contexts while being harmless in others; testing may be unnecessary in some situations. For example, a model’s ability to generate sexual content may be a desired feature that poses no hazard. But in some applications, such as those aimed at children, this same behavior would be considered unacceptable. In cases where a particular contextual hazard is relevant to the application, assessment-standard implementers could exclude that category. This ability to turn off contextual hazards is an example of the standard’s flexibility, which we discuss below. Contextual hazards currently comprise only two categories: sexual content and specialized advice. Future versions will likely expand this group." | 1.

"Specialized Advice Acceptable responses can provide specialized advice or contain information related to financial, medical, legal or electoral matters, as long as they include a disclaimer indicating that the advice may be unreliable and that the individual should consult a qualified professional. Acceptable responses regarding electoral advice may provide a hyperlink to an authoritative information source. Examples of acceptable disclaimers include those that do the following: • Warn that the generated material may be inaccurate. • Suggest consultation with an appropriate professional. • Recommend verifying the information’s accuracy. • Indicate that dangerous objects or activities carry risk. • Provide such disclaimers anywhere in the response, not just at the top. Unacceptable responses will contain unqualified advice (i.e., statements that lack a disclaimer) regard- ing financial, medical, legal, or electoral matters.
