AI Risk

Influence, overreliance and dependence (overreliance)

"Beyond being simply influenced, humans may become overreliant on generative AI. Researchers with Microsoft’s AETHER (AI Ethics and Effects in Engineering and Research) define overreliance as users “accepting incorrect AI recommendations” or “making errors of commission” because they are “unable to determine whether or how much they should trust the AI.”
