Dimension - Technical Attributes (AI capabilities)

Description

"An example of AI capabilities is that an AI might be capable of developing novel bioweapons. Whereas an example of AI inadequacy is a self-driving car causing an accident due to not being able to recognize certain objects. The boundary between capabilities and inadequacy is sometimes blurred. For exam- ple, when an AI generates falsehoods, it could be framed as either a capability of developing fiction, or an inadequacy in generating truthful content."
