Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Probably the most talked about source of potential problems with future AIs is mistakes in design. Mainly the concern is with creating a "wrong AI", a system which doesn't match our original desired formal properties or has unwanted behaviors (Dewey, Russell et al. 2015, Russell, Dewey et al. January 23, 2015), such as drives for independence or dominance. Mistakes could also be simple bugs (run time or logical) in the source code, disproportionate weights in the fitness function, or goals misaligned with human values leading to complete disregard for human safety."
