分析上市公司如何披露人工智能风险,发现披露率五年内从4%升至43%

Are Companies Taking AI Risks Seriously? A Systematic Analysis of Companies' AI Risk Disclosures in SEC 10-K forms

  • 通过分析超3万份10-K文件,系统研究企业对AI风险的披露情况
  • 2024年超43%公司提及AI风险,法律与竞争风险最常见,社会风险日益受关注
  • 多数披露内容空泛,缺乏具体应对策略,适合政策研究者和投资者参考

随着人工智能日益成为企业战略核心,其相关风险也引发关注。美国证券交易委员会(SEC)多次要求企业更准确地披露AI风险,近期对误导性AI声明的执法行动进一步强化了这一要求。欧盟的《人工智能法案》和《数字服务法》也新增了AI风险报告与缓解规定。在此背景下,本研究首次对超过7,000家公司的3万余份SEC 10-K文件进行大规模系统分析,考察企业如何向公众披露重大风险。结果显示,提及AI风险的公司比例从2020年的4%显著上升至2024年的43%以上。尽管法律与竞争类风险最为常见,但对网络攻击、欺诈及技术局限等社会性风险的关注也在增加。然而,许多披露仍过于笼统,缺乏具体的缓解措施,与SEC近期对披露质量的担忧一致。为支持后续研究,研究团队公开发布一个基于网页的工具,可便捷提取并分析10-K文件中的关键词披露。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly central to corporate strategies, concerns over its risks are growing too. In response, regulators are pushing for greater transparency in how companies identify, report and mitigate AI-related risks. In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) repeatedly warned companies to provide their investors with more accurate disclosures of AI-related risks; recent enforcement and litigation against companies' misleading AI claims reinforce these warnings. In the EU, new laws - like the AI Act and Digital Services Act - introduced additional rules on AI risk reporting and mitigation. Given these developments, it is essential to examine if and how companies report AI-related risks to the public. This study presents the first large-scale systematic analysis of AI risk disclosures in SEC 10-K filings, which require public companies to report material risks to their company. We analyse over 30,000 filings from more than 7,000 companies over the past five years, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Our findings reveal a sharp increase in the companies that mention AI risk, up from 4% in 2020 to over 43% in the most recent 2024 filings. While legal and competitive AI risks are the most frequently mentioned, we also find growing attention to societal AI risks, such as cyberattacks, fraud, and technical limitations of AI systems. However, many disclosures remain generic or lack details on mitigation strategies, echoing concerns raised recently by the SEC about the quality of AI-related risk reporting. To support future research, we publicly release a web-based tool for easily extracting and analysing keyword-based disclosures across SEC filings.
