Most notably, approaches adopted in the domain of disaster risk mitigation understand risk as the result of the interaction between three different components: hazard, exposure, and vulnerability (UNISDR, 2015). Hazard refers to the source of potential harm, exposure to the people and resources ...
Khlaaf says it would be more helpful for the AI sector to draw lessons from over 80 years of safety research and risk mitigation around nuclear weapons. These rigorous testing regimes were not driven by profit but by a very real existential threat, she says. In the AI community, there ar...
The more time members spend working on the board, the more they can engage with individual cases. This would be crucial if cases are complex and stakes are high (e.g. if the board supports pre-deployment risk assessments). Full-time board members would also get a better understanding of t...
The forum also seeks to develop best practices for addressing“society’s greatest challenges,”including“climate change mitigation and adaptation, early cancer detection and prevention, and combating cyber threats.” Anyone can join the forum so long as they are involved in the development of“front...
Information → Knowledge: Generate insights (e.g., increased extinction risk for certain species). Knowledge → Actionable Insights: Provide mitigation strategies based on synthesized knowledge. Case Example: Species: Polar Bear, Coral Reef Fish, Forest Deer ...
He adds: “And as predictive modeling improves, we’ll have better forecasting to aid disaster preparation and mitigation. How Can AI Optimize Renewable Energy Systems? Organizations can use AI to optimize their systems, improve efficiencies, and assess potential risks in the renewable energy industry...
We are dedicated to the study and mitigation of risks that could lead to human extinction or civilization collapse. Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) "One of the most active areas of activities has been on AI," said CSER co-founder Lord Martin Rees from his sizable quarters ...
In a new policy document, Meta claimed that it would halt the development of its AI models deemed “critical” or “high” risk and undertake necessary mitigation efforts. The “Frontier AI Framework” report aligns with the Frontier AI Safety Commitments, which Meta and other tech giants signed...
‘imminent threat’ policy that meant great white sharks near bathing areas could be subject to a ‘catch to kill’ order, despite this species being considered endangered under national law and despite the state environmental authority rejecting lethal mitigation programs (Meeuwig et al., 2015). ...
“As people have become increasingly predictable in detection and mitigation, the bad guys are designing tools to adjust to our defenses faster than we can detect their changes. AI and automation will be critical in fighting back.” But with the number and seriousness of attacks growing daily...
