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?

Yes. Apply filters and use Export CSV or Export JSON; the file carries the source, licence and citation so it can be reused with attribution.

Domain-specific AI - Effects on humans and other living beings: Non-existential risks

Inequality of wealth

"Because a single human actor controlling an artificially intelligent agent will be able to harness greater power than a single human actor, this may create inequalities of wealth"

AGI - Effects on humans and other living beings: Existential risks

Direct competition with humans

"One or more artificial agent(s) could have the capacity to directly outcompete humans, for example through capacity to perform work faster, better adaptation to change, vaster knowledge base to draw from, etc. This may result in human labor becoming more expensive or less effective than artificial labor, leading to redundancies or extinction of the human labor force."

Competing for jobs

Competing for jobs

"AI agents may compete against humans for jobs, though history shows that when a technology replaces a human job, it creates new jobs that need more skills."
