Sources of Risk of AI Systems

Steimers & Schneider (2022)

Risk Domain

Vulnerabilities that can be exploited in AI systems, software development toolchains, and hardware, resulting in unauthorized access, data and privacy breaches, or system manipulation causing unsafe outputs or behavior.

"Artificial intelligence comes with an intrinsic set of challenges that need to be considered when discussing trustworthiness, especially in the context of functional safety. AI models, especially those with higher complexities (such as neural networks), can exhibit specific weaknesses not found in other types of systems and must, therefore, be subjected to higher levels of scrutiny, especially when deployed in a safety-critical context"(p. 21)
