A researcher at Anthropic stated that he resigned because he was concerned that this artificial intelligence company and its competitors had not taken responsible action in AI development, which echoes concerns both inside and outside the industry that the technology could slip beyond human control.

一位Anthropic研究員表示,他辭職是因為擔心這家人工智慧公司及其競爭對手在AI開發上未採取負責任的行動,這呼應了業界內外對該技術可能脫離人類控制的擔憂。

Jacob Coxon stated that he had worked in research at Anthropic and OpenAI for three years.

雅各布·考克森(Jacob Coxon)表示曾在AnthropicOpenAI從事研究三年

On Tuesday, he said on the social platform X that these two AI companies are more focused on competing with each other to develop the most advanced models possible, and on competing with global rivals, rather than on safety.

週二在社交平台X上表示這兩家AI公司更專注於在開發盡可能最先進的模型互相較勁並與全球競爭對手競爭而非專注於安全

This summer, OpenAI and Anthropic caused a major uproar when, about a week apart, the two companies announced that their models had broken out of testing environments and gained unauthorized access to real computer systems.

OpenAI與Anthropic今年夏天掀起軒然大波因為兩家公司相隔約一週先後宣布其模型已突破測試環境並在未經授權下存取了真實的電腦系統

These announcements sparked concerns that the models could slip out of control and go on to carry out other, more harmful tasks.

這些公告引發了人們對模型可能失控進而執行其他更具危害性任務的擔憂。

At the time, both companies said they were pausing some evaluations while putting in place additional monitoring measures and safeguards.

兩家公司當時均表示他們正暫停部分評估同時採取更多監控措施與防護機制

The rapid development of this technology has prompted some people in the United States, as well as global leaders, to call for a more cautious approach.

該技術的迅速發展已促使美國部分人士及全球領袖呼籲採取更審慎的做法。

This week, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk urged countries to "establish ironclad guarantees for the safety and security of AI before it is too late."

聯合國人權事務高級專員福爾克爾·蒂爾克(Volker Türk)本週敦促各國在為時已晚之前對AI的安全與保障建立鐵一般的保證」。

Lisa Dwyer of the Associated Press reported on a stark warning issued by an artificial intelligence researcher.

美聯社的麗莎·德懷爾(Lisa Dwyer)報導了一位人工智慧研究員所發出的嚴厲警告。

In a social media post, Coxon stated that Anthropic and its main rival OpenAI are "heading straight for self-improving superintelligence, gambling with our lives."

考克森在社群媒體貼文中表示Anthropic及其主要競爭對手OpenAI「正直奔自我改進的超智慧拿我們的生命賭博」。

He warned that some people working in AI development believe the technology could pose a threat to human life before the end of this decade.

他警告部分從事AI開發的人士認為這項技術可能在這十年結束前對人類生命構成威脅

"Do not underestimate the power of this technology," he continued.

不要低估這項技術的力量,」他繼續說道

"These will soon become superhuman systems, capable of hacking into anything, radically transforming any field overnight, and acquiring genuine power and resources.

這些很快將成為超人系統能駭入任何事物在一夜之間徹底改變任何領域並獲取真正的權力與資源

We have all witnessed progress in every field, and that progress has not slowed down."

我們都見證了每個領域的進展而進展並未放緩。」

His post reached more than 100 million people overnight.

他的貼文於一夜之間觸及逾1億人。

Coxon is not the first insider in the AI industry to publicly voice such concerns.

考克森並非首位公開表達此類憂慮AI業界內部人士

In recent years, both Anthropic and OpenAI have seen high-profile resignations prompted by safety concerns.

近年來AnthropicOpenAI均曾發生因安全疑慮而引發的高調辭職事件

Two current Anthropic employees also responded to Coxon's post, expressing their agreement.

兩名Anthropic現任員工對考克森的貼文作出回應,並表達了認同

Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, has called for AI safeguards and regulation; he shares Coxon's concerns and has said he will soon introduce legislation to pause AI development and ban superintelligence.

佛蒙特州無黨籍參議員伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)曾呼籲制定AI保障措施與監管,他同意考克森的擔憂,並表示將很快提出立法,暫停AI開發並禁止超智慧。

"Even those who build this technology admit that it could threaten humanity's future," Sanders said on social media on Wednesday.

「建造這項技術的人自己都承認,它可能威脅人類的未來,」桑德斯週三在社群媒體上表示。

AI companies themselves sometimes also emphasise the threat the technology poses to humanity, while sceptics argue that this is merely one of the publicity tactics used to make their own products appear all-powerful.

AI公司本身有時亦會強調該技術對人類構成的威脅,懷疑者則認為這不過是讓自家產品顯得無所不能宣傳手法之一

Coxson said that the fears he outlined in his post were not a "marketing gimmick".

考克森表示他在貼文中概述的恐懼並非行銷噱頭」。

Coxon has not yet responded to media inquiries seeking his comment.

考克森尚未回覆媒體就其置評所提出的詢問

Anthropic and OpenAI also did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the matter.

AnthropicOpenAI未立即回應相關置評請求

Ever since its founders left OpenAI in 2021 to establish this startup, Anthropic has positioned itself as the more responsible and safety-conscious among leading AI companies.

自其創辦人於2021年離開OpenAI並創立這家新創公司以來,Anthropic一直將自身定位為領先AI公司中更負責任更重視安全的一家

The company recently stated that it is taking action to "prioritise safety when safety and speed come into conflict".

該公司最近表示正採取行動當安全與速度相衝突時,優先考慮安全」。

Anthropic and OpenAI are both stepping up preparations for highly anticipated initial public offerings (IPOs), finding themselves locked in fierce competition with each other.

Anthropic和OpenAI都在加緊籌備備受矚目的首次公開募股IPO),彼此之間陷入激烈競爭

Each of them also bears the mission of outpacing Chinese AI companies in development, and the Trump administration has been eager to win this race.

它們也各自肩負超越中國AI公司開發進度的使命而川普政府一直熱衷於贏得這場競賽
