|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCC.GenAI.TH09 | Lack of Explainability | The "black box" nature of GenAI models makes it difficult or impossible to understand the specific reasoning behind a given output. This opacity makes it challenging to diagnose failures, detect hidden biases, and meet regulatory requirements for decision transparency. | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| CCC.GenAI.TH04 | Insecure / Unreliable Model Output | A GenAI model may generate content that is incorrect, misleading or harmful, such as convincing misinformation (hallucinations) or vulnerable or malicious code, due to its reliance on statistical patterns rather than factual understanding. Directly using this flawed output without validation can lead to system compromises, poor decision-making, and legal or reputational damage. | 4 | 1 | 0 |
