Description

"Beyond the risks associated with AI technology and its applications, and the legal challenges arising from its development, it is crucial to consider other long- term issues posed by the deployment of increasingly advanced generative AI models. These risks to society, sometimes referred to as “systemic risks,”537 encompass several key areas: the potential for excessive market concentration, the impacts on employment, environmental consequences, and broader risks to humanity."
