The AI deployment is moving at a warp speed on the back of giant technological strides and growing investment in the sector. “As AI systems become increasingly more capable, it becomes critical to measure and understand the ways in which they can perpetuate harm,” said Helen Ngo, an AI Index-affiliated researcher and co-author of Stanford University’s AI index report 2022.
