A guide to AI danger labels: Ross Kerber

Determining how much information investors want to evaluate risks is a goal of the nonprofit Partnership on AI. At first glance, it looks like just another industry club with a board including executives from Apple, Meta and Microsoft.

But other members work for the ACLU, the Ford Foundation and Brown University, in line with the partnership's mission of bringing diverse voices together "<so developments in AI advance positive outcomes for people and society>."

If that sounds puffy, consider the 10-year-old partnership's work. It created the "AI Incident Database" that publicizes robotic mishaps, hardly standard corporate PR. It also published a "Landscape Analysis" reviewing how AI risk disclosures are growing but "limited by variable quality."
