Generative AI at Work / Unit 2 GAI 026 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Risk Combines Likelihood and Consequence
Captions available
The idea
In NIST's risk framework, a risk combines two things: how likely an event is to happen, and how severe its consequences would be.
In practice
A wrong word in an internal draft is likely and minor; a wrong dosage in a patient summary is rarer and severe.
Where people slip
Judging only by how often errors appear misses the rare ones that matter most.
