What is the MIT AI Risk Repository?

A living database of AI risks extracted from 74 frameworks, taxonomies and papers, classified by a causal taxonomy (entity, intent, timing) and a domain taxonomy (7 domains, 24 subdomains). Published by the MIT AI Risk Initiative under CC BY 4.0.

Can I download the filtered risk list?
