Record summary
A quick snapshot of what this page covers.
Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"LMs create some risks that recur with different types of AI and other advanced technologies making these risks ever more pressing. Environmental concerns arise from the large amount of energy required to train and operate large-scale models. Risks of LMs furthering social inequities emerge from the uneven distribution of risk and benefits of automation, loss of high-quality and safe employment, and environmental harm. Many of these risks are more indirect than the harms analysed in previous sections and will depend on various commercial, economic and social factors, making the specific impact of LMs difficult to disentangle and forecast. As a result, the level of evidence on these risks is mixed."
