Systemic risk
A risk specific to the high-impact capabilities of general-purpose AI models, having a significant impact on the Union market due to their reach, or due to actual or reasonably foreseeable negative effects on public health, safety, public security, fundamental rights, or society as a whole, that can propagate at scale across the value chain (Article 3(65), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in EU AI Act Implementation Expert.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
A risk specific to the high-impact capabilities of general-purpose AI models, having a significant impact on the Union market due to their reach, or due to actual or reasonably foreseeable negative effects on public health, safety, public security, fundamental rights, or society as a whole, that can propagate at scale across the value chain (Article 3(65), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).
A larger, related fear than aggregation: aggregation describes many similar claims from one shared cause, while systemic risk describes those claims cascading into market-wide instability and drawing coordinated regulatory intervention across a sector. It is the version of correlated AI risk that can make a peril effectively uninsurable rather than merely expensive.
