The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

The Biden administration is preparing to protect AI from misuse by adversaries like China and Russia, who could exploit AI models for cyberattacks or biological weapons. Deepfakes and AI-generated synthetic media, facilitated by tools like Midjourney, pose risks of misinformation, especially in polarized political environments, despite existing policies against deceptive content.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The article explicitly discusses AI systems such as generative AI and large language models and their potential misuse by hostile actors to cause significant harm, including cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, disinformation campaigns, and biological weapon development. These represent plausible future harms that could lead to AI Incidents if realized. Since no actual harm or incident is reported as having occurred yet, and the focus is on warnings, assessments, and policy responses, the event fits the definition of an AI Hazard. It is not Complementary Information because the main narrative is about potential threats rather than updates on past incidents or governance responses alone. It is not an AI Incident because no direct or indirect harm has yet materialized.[AI generated]

Ako završi u krivim rukama... Ovo su najveće prijetnje koje predstavlja AI

2024-06-09
tportal.hr
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly mentions AI systems such as generative AI tools and large language models being used or potentially used for harmful purposes like disinformation campaigns, biological weapon development, and cyberattacks. These are serious harms (harm to communities, potential injury or harm to health, disruption of critical infrastructure) that AI could cause. However, the article does not describe a specific event where these harms have already occurred due to AI, nor does it describe a near miss or imminent threat event. Instead, it discusses ongoing concerns, assessments, and policy proposals addressing these risks. This aligns with the definition of Complementary Information, which includes societal and governance responses and contextual updates about AI risks and impacts without a new primary harm event.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article does not report any realized harm caused by AI systems but focuses on the potential risks and threats that could arise if advanced AI models are exported to adversarial nations. The involvement of AI systems is explicit, and the concern is about their possible malicious use in cyber attacks or biological weapons creation, which constitutes plausible future harm. Therefore, this event fits the definition of an AI Hazard, as it concerns circumstances where AI system development, use, or malfunction could plausibly lead to an AI Incident. It is not Complementary Information because the main focus is not on updates or responses to past incidents but on potential regulatory measures to prevent future harm. It is not an AI Incident because no harm has yet occurred.
