Meta Automates 90% of Product Risk Assessments Using AI Systems
Meta plans to use AI-powered systems to automatically evaluate potential harms and privacy risks for up to 90% of updates to its apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, replacing human evaluators. The new system would provide instant decisions on AI-identified risks through questionnaires, allowing faster product updates but potentially creating higher risks according to former executives.
Skynet Chance (+0.04%): Automating risk assessment reduces human oversight of AI systems' safety evaluations, potentially allowing harmful features to pass through automated filters that lack nuanced understanding of complex risks.
Skynet Date (+0 days): The acceleration of product deployment through automated reviews could lead to faster iteration and deployment of AI features, slightly accelerating the timeline for advanced AI systems.
AGI Progress (+0.01%): This represents practical application of AI for complex decision-making tasks like risk assessment, demonstrating incremental progress in AI's ability to handle sophisticated evaluations previously requiring human judgment.
