How does your organization define thresholds at which severe risks, unless adequately mitigated, may be considered "unreasonable"? Please describe the framework(s) most relevant to your organization's role and context. If your organisation does not use formal thresholds, you may describe instead the policies, decision criteria, or governance processes you apply when assessing severe AI risks. You may also describe:
• Specific examples of contexts in which your models or systems could, in your assessment, pose unreasonable or intolerable risk;
• How mitigations are graduated by capability or propensity level;
• How your organisation considers the specificities of different AI technologies, such as generative AI and agentic AI, including any specific risk assessment or governance mechanisms applied to agentic AI capabilities.
Jus Mundi does not currently rely on a single quantitative threshold to determine when an AI-related risk becomes “unreasonable.” Instead, severe AI risks are assessed through a risk-based governance process aligned with the organization’s role as a legal intelligence and technology provider, and with its broader security, privacy, compliance and AI governance frameworks. The most relevant references are ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 27001, the EU AI Act, OECD AI Principles, data protection requirements, and internal information security and risk management policies.
A risk may be considered unreasonable or intolerable when, after considering available mitigations, it could create a severe impact on individuals, clients, the legal process, confidentiality, security, regulatory compliance, or the integrity of Jus Mundi’s services. Examples include: unauthorized disclosure or processing of confidential legal or personal data; AI outputs that could materially mislead users in legal research or decision-making if presented without appropriate caveats or human review; system behavior that could compromise the availability, integrity or security of the platform; discriminatory or unfair outputs in sensitive contexts; or autonomous actions performed without adequate authorization, traceability or human oversight.
In practice, Jus Mundi evaluates these risks using decision criteria such as severity of potential harm, likelihood, scale of exposure, sensitivity of the data involved, reversibility of harm, detectability, regulatory impact, customer impact, and the effectiveness of controls. Risks that remain high or critical after mitigation require escalation to the relevant governance bodies and accountable functions, including Security, Legal/DPO, Product, Engineering and AI governance stakeholders. Deployment may be blocked, delayed, limited to a controlled environment, or subject to additional safeguards where residual risk is not acceptable.
Mitigations are graduated according to the capability and risk profile of the AI system. Lower-risk use cases may require standard controls such as documentation, user guidance, access control, logging, human review and monitoring. Higher-risk use cases may require enhanced review, security and privacy assessments, vendor due diligence, model or application testing, stricter access restrictions, output validation, contractual safeguards, phased deployment, incident response procedures and formal approval before release.
For generative AI, Jus Mundi pays particular attention to hallucination, explainability, source attribution, confidentiality, prompt/input handling, copyright and data protection risks, and user reliance on AI-generated outputs. For agentic AI or tool-using systems, additional scrutiny is applied to autonomy, permissions, ability to take actions, access to sensitive systems or data, auditability, rollback capacity, and human-in-the-loop controls. Agentic capabilities would be restricted or prohibited where they could perform high-impact actions without appropriate authorization, monitoring, and intervention mechanisms.
