The risks of generative AI presented in the BBC News articles
| Negative impact (risks) | Example |
|---|---|
| Misuse and Abusive use | In a demonstration at the UK’s AI safety summit, a bot used made-up insider information to make an “illegal” purchase of stocks without telling the firm (45) |
| Mis- and Disinformation | Faked AI images and videos of politicians are also exacerbating the problem of online misinformation (70) |
| Copyright infringements | That is because the software “learns” by analysing a massive amount of data often sourced online and people are concerned it draws on their copyrighted work (72) |
| Creativity erosion | “There is so much potential with AI but it also presents risks to our creative community,” said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr, launching the initiative (7) |
| Job displacement | This could lower demand for labour, affecting wages and even eradicating jobs (12) |
| Bias | Some psychologists warn that AI bots may be giving poor advice to patients, or have ingrained biases against race or gender (18) |
| Capability obscurity | But there is a problem with this craze for all things AI: Companies claiming AI capability when really their products don’t actually use machine learning (13) |
| Environmental issues | [Generative AI companies] use far more power than conventional applications, making going online much more energy-intensive (67) |
