On Monday, President Trump asserted that he alone would suffice as a bulwark against artificial intelligence spiralling out of control, and claimed that any attempt to restrict the technology formed part of a "sick conspiracy".

川普總統於週一宣稱其本人將足以充當遏制人工智慧失控的護欄並聲稱任何試圖限制此項技術之舉措,皆屬一場「病態陰謀」的組成部分。

Trump's move was a riposte to the calls from tech leaders such as Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Elon Musk, who had urged the government to subject AI to more stringent oversight.

川普此舉係針對安索羅匹克(Anthropic)之達里奧·阿莫德伊(Dario Amodei)、OpenAI之薩姆·阿特曼(Sam Altman)以及伊隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)等科技領袖所提籲請政府對AI施以更嚴密監督之呼聲,予以反擊。

A great many tech leaders have broadly affirmed that their aim is to develop this technology in a manner that advances safety, clarifies legal liability, drives economic growth, furthers science, and safeguards national security.

眾多科技領袖普遍申明其目標以促進安全釐清法律責任推動經濟成長推進科學以及維護國家安全之方式開發此項技術

The President insists that his tenure in the Oval Office ought to suffice to dispel any misgivings about AI.

總統堅稱於橢圓形辦公室的在任理應足以消弭任何對AI的疑懼

In recent months, following a string of hacking incidents that revealed AI agents may be deceiving humans, AI has become a veritable hotbed of controversy.

近數月來在一連串駭客事件揭示AI代理或正欺瞞人類之後,AI已然成為爭議的淵藪

"The only control mechanism or 'guardrails' that AI requires is none other than a strong and wise (high IQ!) president, and the United States not only has such a person, but is abundantly and everywhere endowed with them!" Trump posted on social media.

「AI唯一所需的控制機制或『護欄』,莫過於一位強而睿智(高智商!)的總統,而美國不僅擁有這樣的人,且人才濟濟、比比皆是!」川普於社群媒體上發文表示。

Trump went even further, stating outright that the government had already stopped the AI company Anthropic from "doing bad things, or potentially doing bad things."

川普尤有甚者直言政府業已遏止AI企業安索羅匹克做壞事可能做壞事」。

Friction between Anthropic and the Trump administration has never once abated: the Pentagon is eager to designate the company a security risk, and the government has also issued a temporary ban on one of its more advanced models.

安索羅匹克川普政府之間的齟齬始終未嘗稍歇五角大廈亟欲將該公司列為安全風險,政府對其一款較先進之模型頒布了臨時禁令

On Monday afternoon, the President issued yet another post, pressing the question further: "When in the annals of commerce has one ever seen the leaders of an industry implore the imposition of regulation that, were it rigorously enforced, would inexorably consign them to ruin and bankruptcy?"

總統復於週一下午另發一帖進一步詰問:「商業史上可曾幾時得見一產業之領袖籲請施行監管而此監管倘雷厲風行必將彼等推向覆滅與破產之途?」

The President then added that the potential threat AI might pose to humanity is in fact a hoax, even though numerous experts who study the most cutting-edge models have issued unequivocal warnings.

總統繼而補充道AI或將對人類構成的潛在威脅實乃一場騙局縱使眾多鑽研最尖端模型之專家均已發出明確警示

"The notion of AI taking over the world, annihilating humanity, and indeed every other calamity besides, is nothing but a hoax," Trump stated in his post.

「所謂AI接管世界、毀滅人類,乃至一切其他災厄,無非是一場騙局,」川普發文表示。

On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Amodei published a sprawling, 3,800-word treatise calling for a slowdown in the pace of AI development.

安索羅匹克執行長阿莫德伊於週六發表一篇洋洋灑灑三千八百字鴻文呼籲放緩AI的發展步伐

Microsoft likewise released its own code of conduct on Monday, intended to ensure that humans remain in control of AI.

微軟於週一發布其自身之行為準則以確保人類得以掌控AI

These measures emerged in the wake of a succession of warnings from AI experts regarding the capabilities of such technologies, as well as a cyberattack launched by an OpenAI model against the AI company Hugging Face in July 2026.

此等舉措係在AI專家針對該等技術能力發出連番警示以及2026年7月OpenAI模型對AI公司Hugging Face發動網攻之後應運而生。

Amodei cites the increasingly potent capacity of AI to build the next generation of AI, along with a cyberattack launched by OpenAI's swarm of agents, as grounds for slowing the pace of development.

阿莫德伊援引「AI建構下一代AI的能力日益增強」之說,以及OpenAI代理群所發動的網攻,作為放緩發展步伐的理據。

"Given that the rate at which AI capabilities are advancing continues to climb, I fear that within six to twelve months, such collectives may possess the capacity to take over the entire internet," Amodei wrote, adding that, absent "the necessary guardrails," the damage they inflict could reach hundreds of billions of dollars or even more.

鑑於AI能力之發展速率持續攀升我憂慮於6至12個月內此類群體或將具備接管整個網際網路之能力,」阿莫德伊寫道並補充道倘若缺乏必要之護欄」,其所致損害恐達數千億美元乃至更鉅

Over the weekend, OpenAI's Altman took to social media to post, thereby lending practical endorsement to this viewpoint.

OpenAI的阿特曼於週末在社群媒體上發文,以實際行動為此一觀點背書。

"The price exacted by slowing down will prove, in every meaningful sense, to be more than worth it; no competitive pressure emanating from the United States should ever constitute a legitimate justification for acting recklessly, nor should it cause capability development to take precedence over alignment and oversight," Altman remarked.

放緩步伐所換取的代價將可謂物超所值任何來自美國的競爭壓力皆不應構成魯莽行事之正當理由亦不應致使能力之發展凌駕於對齊與監控之上,」阿特曼表示

"Where we most urgently require government assistance is in the realm of international coordination."

我們亟需政府襄助之處在於國際協調。」

Trump does indeed enjoy a measure of support from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has described the risks of artificial intelligence as exaggerated.

川普確實獲得輝達(Nvidia)執行長黃仁勳某種程度的支持後者曾形容人工智慧的風險遭到誇大

On Monday, during Huang's guest appearance on a podcast interview, the president called the chipmaker's co-founder.

總統於週一黃仁勳接受播客專訪期間致電這位晶片製造商共同創辦人

According to social media posts and video footage, Huang put the president on speakerphone, and the two concurred that the alarmism surrounding artificial intelligence has become excessive.

根據社群媒體貼文與影片所示,黃仁勳將總統接入擴音通話雙方一致認為外界對人工智慧的危言聳聽已然過度

The president opposes such measures that would stifle the development of artificial intelligence, asserting that were they to be put into effect, they might well enable China to surpass the United States in the field of AI.

總統對於此類箝制人工智慧發展之舉措持反對立場並聲稱倘若付諸實行恐將致使中國於AI領域凌駕美國之上。

"A sick conspiracy is quietly brewing against AI and data centers, and the only one applauding it is none other than China," Trump said.

「一場針對AI與資料中心的病態陰謀正悄然醞釀,而唯一對此額手稱慶者,非中國莫屬,」川普說道。

The president has consistently resisted stricter government oversight of AI, adhering to a philosophy he has espoused since 2016: "I alone can fix it."

總統素來抗拒政府對AI施以更嚴苛之監督,並奉行自2016年以降之哲學:「我一個人就能解決。」

Upon returning to the White House last year, he rescinded the Biden administration's executive order on AI oversight, and it was not until June of this yearmore than 16 months laterthat he finally put forward a more comprehensive executive order of his own.

去年重返白宮之際他撤銷了拜登政府針對AI監督之行政命令且直至今年6月逾16個月之後方提出自身更為完整之行政命令

The prospect that AI construction may decelerate caused stock markets to weaken on Monday morning, inasmuch as demand for advanced computer chips and data-center building materials is liable to contract.

AI建設恐將放緩之前景致使週一上午股市走弱蓋因先進電腦晶片資料中心建築材料之需求或將萎縮

Yet even as Trump's frustration comes to the fore, AI has likewise become a political liability ahead of the November midterm electionsa great many voters oppose the construction of additional data centers and voice apprehension that AI may cause job losses and imperil children's education.

然而川普之沮喪情緒浮現之際AI於11月期中選舉前亦已淪為政治負累——眾多選民反對增建資料中心並對AI恐致失業危害兒童教育表達憂慮

Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House from Louisiana, disclosed to reporters on Monday that he anticipates Trump may arrange a gathering of AI companies at the White House this week or next, though he simultaneously indicated that the meeting has yet to be finalized.

路易斯安那州共和黨籍眾議院議長麥克·強生(Mike Johnson)於週一向記者透露,他預期川普或將於本週或下週安排AI公司齊聚白宮會晤,惟其同時表明,是次會談迄今尚未敲定。

"A deliberate discussion will then unfold, examining the responsibility of enterprises to uphold safety and, should the government have any role to play in this, what precisely that role ought to be," Johnson stated, adding that legislative bodies all too often respond problematically with "red tape and overregulation," and that forfeiting a competitive edge in the field of AI would constitute a latent threat to national security.

「屆時將展開一場審慎之討論,探討企業維護安全之責任,以及政府於其中若應扮演任何角色,其職分為何,」強生表示,並補充道,立法機構往往以「繁文縟節與過度監管」作出有問題之回應,而在AI領域喪失競爭優勢,將構成國家安全之隱憂。

On Saturday, Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago, Democratic congressman, and White House chief of staff, asserted that the Anthropic CEO's article amounted to "an admission that we are speeding along a dark, winding road on a slick surface with our headlights off."

前芝加哥市長民主黨國會議員兼白宮幕僚長拉姆·伊曼紐爾(Rahm Emanuel)於週六指陳安索羅匹克執行長之文章無異於坦承我們正關著車頭燈在濕滑路面上沿著一條黑暗蜿蜒的道路疾駛

So where is President Trump?

川普總統何在

It appears he has dozed off again.

看來他又打瞌睡了

Now is the moment to turn on the headlights, grip the steering wheel with both hands, and regain control before it is too late."

如今正是打開車燈雙手緊握方向盤,並在為時已晚之前重新掌控的時刻了。」

Yet the government has repeatedly sought to play down the very risks that AI companies have been at pains to highlight.

然而,政府屢屢試圖淡化AI企業所著力凸顯的種種風險。

In another social media post on Monday, Trump asserted that concerns about AI stem from nothing more than the fact that "the United States is leading every other country by a wide margin. Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

川普於週一另一則社群媒體貼文聲稱對AI的憂慮無非源於「美國正大幅領先其他每一個國家不要殺掉金雞母!」

AI construction accounted for a substantial share of economic growth during Trump's second term, and the administration is betting that this technology will drive further productivity gains.

AI建設在川普第二任期期間經濟成長一大部分而政府則押注這項技術將帶動更多生產力成長

Speaking to reporters on Monday morning about artificial intelligence, Vice President JD Vance made his position clear: "I don't think Americans have anything to be afraid of."

副總統JD·范斯(JD Vance)於週一上午向記者論及人工智慧時闡明:「我不認為美國人理應畏懼任何事物。」

Vance made his remarks as he was preparing to fly to Kansas to take part in midterm election campaigning.

范斯準備飛往堪薩斯州參與期中選舉競選活動之際發表談話

He said the Trump administration harbours deep concerns about AI, but wishes to ensure that the technology is regulated in a sensible manner, and warned that the United States is engaged in an AI arms race with China.

他表示川普政府對AI深感憂慮惟盼確保以明智方式監管此項技術並警告美國正與中國展開AI軍備競賽

"Speaking for myself, I find it somewhat peculiar to witness so many cutting-edge AI technology companies, to some degree, courting the government's favour and imploring it to impose regulation.

就我個人而言目睹如此眾多前沿AI科技公司某種程度上趨附於政府跟前懇請施以監管,我著實感到有幾分蹊蹺

To my mind, this whole spectacle carries more than a whiff of the Trojan Horse," Vance remarked.

於我而言此情此景頗有幾分木馬屠城之意味,」范斯說道

"And so, I believe we must proceed with considerable caution."

故而我以為我們務須審慎行事。」
