Overview
Section titled “Overview”AI risks form a complex network where individual risks enable, amplify, and cascade through each other, creating compound threats far exceeding the sum of their parts. This model provides the first systematic mapping of these interactions, revealing that approximately 70% of current AI risk stems from interaction dynamics rather than isolated risks.
The analysis identifies racing dynamicsRiskRacing DynamicsRacing dynamics analysis shows competitive pressure has shortened safety evaluation timelines by 40-60% since ChatGPT's launch, with commercial labs reducing safety work from 12 weeks to 4-6 weeks....Quality: 72/100 as the most critical hub risk, enabling 8 downstream risks and amplifying technical risks by 2-5x. Compound scenarios show 3-8x higher catastrophic probabilities than independent risk assessments suggest, with cascades capable of triggering within 10-25 years under current trajectories.
Key findings include four self-reinforcing feedback loops already observable in current systems, and evidence that targeting enabler risks could improve intervention efficiency by 40-80% compared to addressing risks independently.
