AI risks AMD acknowledges
- Weapons & cyberattacks: “As AI capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, we may see more sophisticated threats created through the use of AI technology to launch more automated, targeted and coordinated cyberattacks.

- Fraud & scams: “Do not use AMD AI for any potentially harmful uses, including fraud, deception... Impersonation of human beings for purposes of deception.” (AMD Responsible AI Use Policy)
- Devaluation of human creativity: “If the AI-related products that we offer have unintended consequences, infringe intellectual property rights or rights of publicity, or are misused by our customers...” (AMD 10-K Annual Report (FY2024))
- Environmental harm: “The next wave of AI breakthroughs holds tremendous promise... But these advances bring new demands on global energy systems” (2024-25 corporate responsibility report | amd)
