AI Risk

Unintentional generation of harmful content

"Generative models can create harmful or discriminatory content from benign user requests. Models can exhibit bias to particular harmful styles of generation (e.g., sexualization of photos of women [87] in the case of image generation models) or they can generate toxic, misleading, or violent data (e.g., a model generating jokes can use ethnic stereotypes or slurs to deliver humor)."
