AI Priority Risk View

Actor Vulnerability Matrix

Vulnerability patterns across the AI value chain showing which actor types (developers, users, etc.) are most exposed to each risk. Critical for understanding risk distribution in the AI ecosystem.

Rows represent risks and columns represent actor types. Each cell indicates how exposed or vulnerable each actor is to a given risk. This differs from responsibility: it reflects who is likely to be impacted, not who should act. Compare across rows to see which actors are most affected by a risk, and across columns to understand an actor’s overall risk exposure.
