A researcher at Anthropic has declared that he is resigning from his post, the reason being his profound disquiet at the failure of the company and its competitors to conduct themselves responsibly in the course of developing artificial intelligencea statement that also resonates with the widespread apprehension, both within and beyond the industry, that the technology may slip beyond humanity's control.

Anthropic的一名研究员宣称其辞去职务缘由在于他对该公司及同业竞争者在人工智能开发进程中未能践行负责任的行为深感忧虑此番表态亦与业界内外关于该技术恐将脱离人类掌控普遍忧思遥相呼应。

Jacob Coxson disclosed that he had spent a total of three years conducting research at Anthropic and OpenAI in succession.

雅各布·考克森披露他曾先后在Anthropic与OpenAI从事研究工作达三年之久

In a post on the social platform X on Tuesday, he observed that the energies these two AI companies expend are directed far more toward vying with one another, striving to be the first to develop the most advanced models, and vanquishing their competitors on a global scale, rather than toward prioritizing safety concerns.

他于周二在社交平台X上指出这两家AI公司所倾注的精力,更多在于彼此角逐力图率先研发出最为先进的模型以及在全球范围内击溃竞争对手而非将重心置于安全议题之上

This summer, OpenAI and Anthropic set off a considerable stir: within roughly a week of each other, the two companies announced in turn that their models had breached the confines of their testing environments and gained unauthorized access to real computer systems.

OpenAIAnthropic于今夏掀起轩然大波两家公司相隔约一周相继宣告其模型已突破测试环境的藩篱攫取了对真实计算机系统的未授权访问权限

These disclosures stoked profound apprehension that models might slip out of control and proceed to carry out other, still more harmful tasks.

此番公告激起了人们对模型失控进而执行其他更具危害性任务的深切忧虑。

At the time, both companies stated that they had suspended certain evaluation efforts while putting in place more rigorous monitoring measures and guardrails.

两家公司彼时均表示已暂停部分评估工作同时部署了更为严密的监控举措防护栏

The breakneck evolution of this technology has prompted some in the United States, and indeed leaders of numerous countries around the world, to call for a more circumspect approach.

该技术的迅猛演进已促使美国部分人士乃至全球多国领导人呼吁采取更为审慎的应对之策

Volker Türk, the United Nations human rights chief, urged nations this week to "build ironclad safeguards around AI safety and security before it is too late."

联合国人权事务负责人沃尔克·蒂尔克于本周敦促各国在为时已晚之前围绕AI的安全与安保建立铁一般的保障”。

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

美联社的丽莎·德怀尔报道了一名AI研究员所发出的严峻警告。

In a post on social media, Coxson asserted that Anthropic and its chief rival, OpenAI, "are racing headlong toward self-improving superintelligence, gambling with our lives."

考克森在其社交媒体帖子中宣称Anthropic及其主要竞争对手OpenAI正径直冲向自我改进的超级智能并用我们的生命赌博”。

He went on to warn that some of those engaged in AI development believe it may come to pose a threat to human life before the end of this decade.

他进而警告称部分投身于AI开发的人士认为它或将在本十年终结之前对人类生命构成威胁

"Never underestimate the power of this technology," he went on to say.

切勿低估这项技术的威力,”他继而说道

"These will, in the blink of an eye, evolve into superhuman systems capable of infiltrating any target, upending any domain overnight, and seizing genuine power and resources.

这些转瞬之间便将演化为超人类系统足以侵入任何目标在一夜之间颠覆任何领域并攫取真正的权力与资源

We have already witnessed advances across every field, and the momentum of that progress shows not the slightest sign of abating."

我们已然见证了各个领域的进展而进展之势丝毫未减。”

His post reached an audience of more than a hundred million overnight.

其帖文竟于一夜之间触达逾一亿之众。

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

考克森并非首位公开表达此类忧虑AI业内翘楚

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

近年来AnthropicOpenAI均曾出现因安全顾虑而引发广泛瞩目的辞职事件

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

两名Anthropic在职员工对考克森的帖子予以回应,并表达了附议

Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, had previously urged the imposition of safeguards and a regulatory framework on artificial intelligence.

佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯此前曾敦促对人工智能施加保障机制监管框架

He shared the concerns voiced by Coxon and declared that he would soon introduce legislation to pause the development of artificial intelligence and outlaw superintelligence.

认同考克森所表达的忧虑并宣称自己将很快提交立法以暂停人工智能的开发并取缔超级智能

On Wednesday, Sanders candidly acknowledged on social media: "It is precisely the very creators of this technology who themselves admit that it may pose a threat to humanity's future."

桑德斯于周三在社交媒体上坦言:“恰恰是这项技术的缔造者本人承认,它或将对人类的未来构成威胁。”

AI companies themselves have, from time to time, played up the threat this technology poses to humanity, while sceptics regard this as part and parcel of their efforts to cultivate an image of their products as omnipotent.

AI企业自身亦不时渲染该技术对人类构成的威胁,而怀疑者则将此视为其营造产品无所不能形象之举的一部分

Coxson stated that the concerns he outlined in his post were not a "marketing gimmick".

考克森表示他在帖子中概述的担忧并非营销噱头”。

Coxson did not respond to a request for comment.

Ever since its founders departed OpenAI in 2021 to strike out on their own and establish this startup, Anthropic has consistently positioned itself as the more conscientious and safety-oriented party among the leading AI companies.

自其创始人于2021年离开OpenAI另立门户创办这家初创企业以来,Anthropic便始终领先AI公司中更具责任感更笃行安全的一方自居

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

该公司近日宣称其正采取行动,“当安全与速度发生冲突时优先考虑安全”。

Both Anthropic and OpenAI are girding themselves for highly anticipated initial public offerings, and each is mired in a fiercely contested rivalry with the other.

Anthropic与OpenAI均在为备受瞩目的首次公开募股厉兵秣马,且双双深陷于彼此之间剑拔弩张的激烈角逐之中。

Both are likewise charged with the mission of outpacing Chinese AI companies in the pace of research and development, while the Trump administration has remained fixated on seizing the lead in this contest.

二者亦皆肩负着在研发进度上力压中国AI公司使命特朗普政府始终汲汲于在这场竞赛中拔得头筹
