Taxonomy/Risks & Mitigation

Political & economic harm

Political & economic harm

The risk that the AI system manipulates political discourse, interferes with elections, concentrates market power, or damages public institutions. This includes risks of synthetic media targeting voters, opaque ad-targeting, competitive distortion from monopoly access to data and compute, and erosion of institutional trust. Mitigations may include disclosure of synthetic content, antitrust attention to AI markets, audit access for regulators, and political-ad transparency requirements.
