Description

"This section considers a range of systemic risks, in the sense of “broader societal risks associated with AI deployment, beyond the capabilities of individual models” (636). Note that this is not identical with how the European AI Act uses ‘systemic risks’ to refer to general - purpose AI models with a high impact on society, based on criteria such as training compute and the number of users."
