Welcome to the Company AI Risk Explorer

This tool maps what large global companies say in public about AI risk. We reviewed public documents from roughly 200 of the world's largest companies. We coded every risk they acknowledge against the AI Risk Repository taxonomy.

Filter by company, sector, AI role, or risk. Compare what companies acknowledge against expert ratings of severity, sector vulnerability, and role responsibility.

AI possessing dangerous capabilities

AI systems that develop, access, or are provided with capabilities that increase their potential to cause mass harm through deception, weapons development and acquisition, persuasion and manipulation, political strategy, cyber-offense, AI development, situational awareness, and self-proliferation. These capabilities may cause mass harm due to malicious human actors, misaligned AI systems, or failure in the AI system.

4 of the world's largest companies we reviewed acknowledge the AI risk "Dangerous capabilities", including Alphabet (Google), Microsoft and Amazon.

Which companies acknowledge this risk?

  • Alphabet (Google): “Autonomy level 1: Capable of expanding its effective capacity in the world by autonomously acquiring resources and using them to run and sustain additional copies of itself... A model at this capability level could, if misused, pose difficult-to-predict and large-magnitude risks.” (Google Frontier Safety Framework (May 2024))
  • Microsoft: “tracking the emergence of new and advanced AI model capabilities that could be misused to threaten national security or pose at-scale public safety risks” (Responsible AI Transparency Report | Microsoft)
  • Amazon: “Automated AI R&D could also accelerate the development of models that pose enhanced CBRN, Offensive Cybersecurity, or other severe risks... fully automating the research, development, and deployment of frontier models that will pose severe risk such as accelerating the development of enhanced CBRN weapons and offensive cybersecurity methods.” (Amazon's Frontier Model Safety Framework)
  • Meta: “We define our thresholds based on the extent to which frontier AI would uniquely enable the execution of any of the threat scenarios we have identified as being potentially sufficient to produce a catastrophic outcome.” (Meta's Frontier AI Framework)
