• Abstract summary: Generative AI models are capable of performing a wide variety of tasks that have traditionally required creativity and human understanding. During training, they learn patterns from existing data and can subsequently generate new content. Many risks associated with generative AI must be addressed during development or can only be influenced by the operating organisation.

• Abstract: Generative AI models are capable of performing a wide variety of tasks that have traditionally required creativity and human understanding. During training, they learn patterns from existing data and can subsequently generate new content such as texts, images, audio, and videos that align with these patterns. Due to their versatility and generally high-quality results, they represent, on the one hand, an opportunity for digitalisation. On the other hand, the use of generative AI models introduces novel IT security risks that must be considered as part of a comprehensive analysis of the IT security threat landscape. In response to this risk potential, companies or authorities intending to use generative AI should conduct an individual risk analysis before integrating it into their workflows. The same applies to developers and operators, as many risks associated with generative AI must be addressed during development or can only be influenced by the operating organisation. Based on this, existing security measures can be adapted, and additional measures implemented.

  Embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) integrates advanced AI models into physical entities for real-world interaction. Foundation models as the "brain" of EAI agents for high-level task planning have shown promising results. However, the deployment of these agents in physical environments presents significant safety challenges. This study introduces EARBench, a novel framework for automated physical risk assessment in EAI scenarios.
