Risk profile

How this risk is described and categorized.

"Despite the widely recognized potential of generative AI tools to “hallucinate” or produce harmful content, such tools can exert a noteworthy influence on the humans who engage with them. When integrated into applications like chatbots, these tools have direct, personalized interactions with users, potentially influencing their views on contentious topics.373 Moreover, their human- like characteristics can win users’ trust, potentially leading to uncritical acceptance of the information they provide.374 Interactions with these seemingly human- like AI models may also encourage users to share more personal information, enabling even more targeted content."
