RISKWORLD 2024: Risk Professionals Discuss Top AI Concerns

Starting the presentation off with a few key points from the report, Klint explained how the top risks have changed over the years, from 2012, when the top risk was systematic financial failure, to 2024, when the top risk was misinformation and disinformation fueled by AI. “This is very much connected to the fact that AI has hit us hard,” Klint said. “AI has been around for several, several years, but in this past year, it has really become common knowledge but also very accessible.” AI-fueled misinformation and disinformation will impact elections and large economies this year and the next year, but spreading misinformation is not the panel’s only concern regarding AI.
