Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Just because developers might succeed in creating a safe AI, it doesn't mean that it will not become unsafe at some later point. In other words, a perfectly friendly AI could be switched to the "dark side" during the post-deployment stage. This can happen rather innocuously as a result of someone lying to the AI and purposefully supplying it with incorrect information or more explicitly as a result of someone giving the AI orders to perform illegal or dangerous actions against others."
