The AAISM framework identifies intellectual property (IP) violations as the most significant inherent risk in deploying generative AI. These systems often rely on large-scale internet data for training, which may inadvertently contain copyrighted or proprietary material. This creates legal and reputational exposure when outputs reproduce or reference protected content. While employee training gaps, asset vulnerabilities, and ROI concerns are relevant risks, they are not inherent to generative models themselves. The greatest inherent risk tied directly to generative AI adoption is the possibility of violating intellectual property rights.
