AIAAIC's "Consequence Taxonomy" describes the consequences experienced by the entities responsible for deploying an AI, algorithmic or automation system, or set of systems.
Applied to entries to the AIAAIC Repository, the taxonomy aims to present internal impacts in a clear and succinct manner that is understandable to the general public.
The Consequence Taxonom is available to third-parties to download, comment upon, update, and re-use in line with our terms of use.
