Generative AI at Work / Unit 2 GAI 027 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Four Ways Risks Vary
Captions available
The idea
NIST's Generative AI Profile sorts risks along four dimensions: the lifecycle stage they arise in, their scope, their source, and their time scale.
In practice
A biased hiring screen arises at deployment, harms one company's applicants, comes from the model, and does damage over months.
Where people slip
One tool can carry different risks in different uses, so read the dimensions per use.
