Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Automation in sectors ranging from manufacturing to healthcare has and will increasingly put humans into close contact with EAI systems [7]. This interaction increases the risk of accidental physical harm. Though accidental harm has been a longstanding issue in industrial robotics, increased AI capabilities could exacerbate this risk; several recent reports document an increase in industrial injuries following the introduction of AI-controlled robots [66–68]."
