Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The widespread adoption of AI models like GPT-5.6 in various sectors, including national security and healthcare, raises concerns about the concentration of power and the potential for misuse. The integration of AI in critical infrastructure, as seen in partnerships with government and financial institutions, could lead to significant risks if these systems are not properly aligned or secured. Additionally, the rapid development and deployment of AI technologies without comprehensive safety measures increase the likelihood of unintended consequences, such as alignment failures or uncontrolled self-improvement, which could exacerbate long-term existential risks.
