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?

Systemic Risks

Labor Market Disruption and Economic Displacement:

"Rapid automation enabled by general-purpose AI could trigger widespread unemployment across knowledge work sectors, creating skill mismatches faster than retraining programs can address. Unlike previous technological transitions, AI’s broad capabilities may simultaneously affect multiple industries, potentially overwhelming social safety nets and creating systemic economic instability, particularly in regions heavily dependent on jobs susceptible to AI automation."

Social Cohesion and Equity Disruption:

"Systemic deployment of biased AI systems could exacerbate existing social discrimination and prejudice at unprecedented scales, while unequal access to advanced AI capabilities may widen socioeconomic disparities and create new forms of social stratification that challenge traditional social order."
