Risk profile

How this risk is described and categorized.

First, AI systems may lack a legitimate ethical basis in establishing rules that greatly influence society and human relationships (Wirtz & Müller, 2019).

As humans initially programme AI systems, serve as their potential data source, and have an impact on the associated data processes and databases, human biases and prejudices may also become part of AI systems and be reproduced (Weyerer & Langer, 2019, 2020)."
