The rapid deployment of General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models like large language models (LLMs) demands effective supervision policies to manage emerging risks and incidents. This research explores how different supervision strategies can shape long-term risk management in AI. By simulating various approaches—non-prioritized, random, priority-based, and diversity-prioritized—the study finds that while priority-based and diversity-focused methods better mitigate high-impact risks noted by experts, they risk overlooking systemic issues identified by the community. This oversight can lead to reinforcing feedback loops, skewing the risk landscape. Validation using real-world data, including over a million ChatGPT interactions, confirms these trade-offs, highlighting the complexities AI supervision bodies face. These findings suggest that strategic choices in supervision policies can significantly influence the perception and management of AI risks in society. As AI technologies proliferate, how can future policies ensure balanced risk management that doesn't neglect community-voiced concerns?
