Cyberspace risks (Risks of confusing facts, misleading users, and bypassing authentication)

AI Safety Governance Framework

National Technical Committee 260 on Cybersecurity (TC260) (2024)

Sub-category
Risk Domain

AI systems that inadvertently generate or spread incorrect or deceptive information, which can lead to inaccurate beliefs in users and undermine their autonomy. Humans that make decisions based on false beliefs can experience physical, emotional or material harms

"AI systems and their outputs, if not clearly labeled, can make it difficult for users to discern whether they are interacting with AI and to identify the source of generated content. This can impede users' ability to determine the authenticity of information, leading to misjudgment and misunderstanding. Additionally, AI-generated highly realistic images, audio, and videos may circumvent existing identity verification mechanisms, such as facial recognition and voice recognition, rendering these authentication processes ineffective."(p. 10)
