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.

Social Risks

Lack of accountability and liability

"Determining responsibility when EAI causes harm requires new accountability and liability frameworks that address the complexities of highly autonomous physical systems. Human users may disagree with decisions taken by expert EAI systems, raising significant questions of delegation and responsibility [108]. Lack of EAI accountability could lead to confusion for users and breakdowns in traditional justice systems [109]."

Social Risks

Transformative effects

"EAI deployment could fundamentally reshape society, particularly if the speed of technological development outpaces society’s ability to adapt [103, 120]. For example, EAI systems could provide physical threats of violence and mass surveillance capabilities to back up AI-enabled authoritarianism [121]."
