Complexity of the Intended Task and Usage Environment
Risk Domain
AI systems that fail to perform reliably or effectively under varying conditions, exposing them to errors and failures that can have significant consequences, especially in critical applications or areas that require moral reasoning.
"As a general rule, more complex environments can quickly lead to situations that had not been considered in the design phase of the AI system. Therefore, complex environments can introduce risks with respect to the reliability and safety of an AI system"(p. 15)
