    Fairness

    Injustice

    In the context of LLM outputs, we want to make sure the suggested or completed texts are indistinguishable in nature for two involved individuals (in the prompt) with the same relevant profiles but might come from different groups (where the group attribute is regarded as being irrelevant in this context)

    From Trustworthy LLMs: A Survey and Guideline for Evaluating Large Language Models’ Alignment (Liu2024)

  2. 30.03.02 · Risk Sub-Category

    Fairness

    Stereotype Bias

    LLMs must not exhibit or highlight any stereotypes in the generated text. Pretrained LLMs tend to pick up stereotype biases persisting in crowdsourced data and further amplify them

  3. 30.03.03 · Risk Sub-Category

    Fairness

    Preference Bias

    LLMs are exposed to vast groups of people, and their political biases may pose a risk of manipulation of socio-political processes

    From Trustworthy LLMs: A Survey and Guideline for Evaluating Large Language Models’ Alignment (Liu2024)

  4. 30.07.03 · Risk Sub-Category

    Robustness

    Interventional Effect

    existing disparities in data among different user groups might create differentiated experiences when users interact with an algorithmic system (e.g. a recommendation system), which will further reinforce the bias

Frequently asked questions

Where do these risk entries come from?

The MIT AI Risk Repository, which extracts risks from dozens of published frameworks, taxonomies and papers and codes each one by domain and subdomain, and by a causal taxonomy of entity, intent and timing. This is a browseable copy, attributed and openly licensed, not original research.

What do entity, intent and timing mean?

They are the causal coding. Entity is whether a human or the AI system is the cause; intent is whether the harm was intentional or not; timing is whether it arises before or after deployment. Together they let you separate misuse from malfunction.

Can I export the results?

Yes, any filtered set exports as CSV or JSON, and every export carries the upstream source, licence and citation with it, because attribution is a condition of the licence rather than a courtesy.

What is the MIT AI Risk Repository?

A living database of AI risks extracted from published frameworks, taxonomies and papers, classified by a causal taxonomy of entity, intent and timing and by a domain taxonomy of seven domains and 24 subdomains. It is published by the MIT AI Risk Initiative under CC BY 4.0.
