Why this model scores 35.1
Strong image-generation capability and later broad hosted deployment created material diffusion and misuse potential, while the system lacked agency and remained centrally controlled with filtering and monitoring.
News tied to DALL-E 2
The model score of 35.1 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 66.8 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.
Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.
