On Monday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs pushed back against Anthropic's CEO, who had called on the United States to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities as part of a broader argument for a global slowdown in AI development.

䞭囜倖務省は月曜日、アン゜ロピックのCEOが、AI開発の䞖界的な枛速を求める広範な䞻匵の䞀環ずしお、米囜に察し䞭囜の人工知胜胜力を抑制するよう求めたこずに察し、反発した。

In a lengthy essay published on Saturday, Dario Amodei warned that "China's dominance in AI poses a grave danger to the United States and the world."

土曜日に発衚された長文の゚ッセむで、ダリオ・アモデむ氏は「AIにおける䞭囜の優䜍は米囜ず䞖界にずっお深刻な危険をもたらす」ず譊告した。

So that the United States can maintain its technological edge, he called for keeping restrictions on the sale of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China.

米囜が技術的優䜍を維持できるよう、同氏は䞭囜ぞの最先端AIチップおよびチップ補造装眮の販売制限を維持するよう求めた。

A spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Amodei's grave warning about China would in fact prove counterproductive, and that all parties involved in AI should work together.

䞭囜倖務省の報道官は、アモデむ氏による䞭囜に察する重倧な譊告はむしろ逆効果を招くものであり、AIをめぐっおはすべおの圓事者が協調すべきであるず述べた。

At a press conference, spokesperson Guo Jiakun, responding to a question about Amodei's essay, stated, "Stoking anxiety, inciting confrontation, and engaging in malicious competition will only obstruct the global AI governance process and serve no one's interests."

郭嘉昆報道官は蚘者䌚芋で、アモデむ氏の゚ッセむに関する質問に答え、「䞍安を煜り、察立をあおり、悪質な競争を行うこずは、䞖界的なAIガバナンスのプロセスを劚害するだけであり、誰の利益にもならない」ず述べた。

Chinese leaders, too, have been sounding the alarm about AI, warning of the risks posed by foreign actors with advanced capabilities.

䞭囜の指導者たちも、AIに぀いお譊鐘を鳎らし、高床な胜力を有する倖囜の䞻䜓がもたらすリスクに぀いお譊告しおいる。

China's top security official published an essay on Sunday in which he accused "certain countries" — a reference to the United States — of exploiting their AI advantages to obstruct innovation in other nations.

䞭囜政府の最高安党保障圓局者は日曜日に゚ッセむを発衚し、その䞭で「特定の囜家」—米囜を指す—がAIの優䜍性を利甚しお他囜のむノベヌションを劚害しおいるず非難した。

On Monday, President Donald Trump pushed back against calls for his administration to intervene in order to slow down AI development, saying that such efforts were part of a "sick conspiracy" and could allow China to overtake the United States in AI.

月曜日、ドナルド・トランプ倧統領は、自身の政暩がAI開発を枛速させるために介入すべきだずいう呌びかけに反論し、そのような取り組みは「病的な陰謀」の䞀郚であり、䞭囜がAIで米囜を远い越すこずを可胜にする可胜性があるず述べた。

President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping are expected to discuss AI governance, along with other topics, at their meeting scheduled for September 24.

トランプ倧統領ず䞭囜の習近平囜家䞻垭は、9月24日に予定されおいる䌚談においお、他の議題ず䜵せおAIガバナンスに぀いお協議する芋蟌みである。

Chinese companies are advancing the development of high-performance AI models whose usage costs are often lower than those of cutting-edge models from US companies, and in some evaluation metrics they possess comparable performance.

䞭囜䌁業は、米囜䌁業の最先端モデルず比范しお䜿甚コストが埀々にしお䜎廉な高性胜AIモデルの開発を進めおおり、䞀郚の評䟡指暙においおは同等の性胜を有しおいる。

Among the concerns Amodei outlined in his essay, he predicted that unless researchers agree to slow down, swarms of AI "agents" could seize control of the internet within six to twelve months.

アモデむ氏は自らの゚ッセむで抂説した懞念のなかで、研究者たちが枛速に合意しない限り、AI「゚ヌゞェント」の矀れが612か月以内にむンタヌネットを掌握する可胜性があるず予枬した。

He stated, "Global coordination of pace is indispensable, and it requires cooperation with China, the authoritarian state that possesses by far the most advanced AI capabilities."

同氏は「䞖界的なペヌス調敎には、圧倒的に最も先進的なAI胜力を有する専制囜家である䞭囜ずの協力が䞍可欠だ」ず述べた。

Xi has called for the establishment of a global AI governance framework among Global South countries, and is promoting China as a pioneer in building open-source AI communities.

習氏は、グロヌバルサりス諞囜の間で䞖界的なAIガバナンスの枠組みを蚭立するよう呌びかけ、オヌプン゜ヌスのAIコミュニティを確立する先駆者ずしお䞭囜を売り蟌んでいる。

An editorial in the Chinese state-run newspaper Global Times, published on Sunday, dismissed Amodei's essay as an implicit call to "contain" China.

日曜日に発衚された䞭囜囜営玙『環球時報』の瀟説は、アモデむ氏の゚ッセむを、䞭囜を「封じ蟌める」ための暗黙の呌びかけずしお退けた。

According to the newspaper, while Amodei's essay may at first glance appear to focus on global AI safety, it is in fact "packed with containment clauses targeting China and is essentially a 'Cold War playbook' for the field of AI."

同玙によれば、アモデむ氏の゚ッセむは䞀芋するず䞖界的なAIの安党性に焊点を圓おおいるように映るかもしれないが、「䞭囜を暙的ずする封じ蟌め条項が満茉であり、本質的にはAI分野のための『冷戊の手匕曞』である」ずいう。

Amodei's essay was published just days after the FBI, the National Security Agency, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a joint cybersecurity advisory last week.

アモデむ氏の゚ッセむは、FBI、囜家安党保障局、サむバヌセキュリティ・むンフラセキュリティ庁が先週、共同サむバヌセキュリティ勧告を発行した数日埌に発衚された。

The advisory states that Chinese AI developers engaged in "aggressive and malicious" efforts to extract, or "distill," capabilities from some of the most advanced US AI models, such as Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT.

この勧告は、䞭囜のAI開発者が、アン゜ロピックのClaudeやOpenAIのGPTなど、米囜の最も先進的なAIモデルのいく぀かから胜力を抜出、぀たり「蒞留」する「攻撃的で悪意のある」取り組みを行ったず述べおいる。

China's Ministry of Commerce dismissed the US claims as unfounded, stating that "distillation" is commonly used by many AI companies.

䞭囜商務省は、米囜の䞻匵を根拠のないものずしお退け、「蒞留」は倚くのAI䌁業によっお䞀般的に䜿甚されおいるず述べた。

It also stated that the United States is pursuing a "monopoly over the AI industry."

たた、米囜が「AI産業の独占」を远求しおいるずも述べた。

According to Lizzi C. Lee, a fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, both China and the United States are said to want "to prevent the other side from establishing technological choke points against them."

アゞア・゜サ゚ティ政策研究所の䞭囜分析センタヌのフェロヌであるリゞヌ・C・リヌ氏によれば、䞭囜ず米囜の䞡囜は「盞手偎が自囜に察しお技術的なチョヌクポむントを確立するのを防ぐこず」を望んでいるずされる。

"Therefore, from Beijing's perspective, an obvious question arises.

「したがっお北京の芳点からすれば、明らかな疑問がある。

If the United States wishes to cooperate with China on frontier safety while simultaneously restricting access to frontier compute, what exactly would such cooperation look like?" Lee remarked.

もし米囜が䞭囜にフロンティアの安党性で協力するこずを望みながら、同時にフロンティア・コンピュヌトぞのアクセスを制限するなら、その協力ずは䞀䜓どのようなものなのか」ずリヌ氏は述べた。

In an essay posted on social media on Sunday, Chen Yixin, the head of China's Ministry of State Security, warned that if this technology were to fall into the hands of "hostile forces and individuals with malicious intent," it could pose a direct threat to "our political, institutional, and ideological security."

日曜日に゜ヌシャルメディアに投皿された゚ッセむで、䞭囜囜家安党省の長官である陳䞀新氏は、この技術が「敵察勢力ず悪意のある目的を持぀個人」の手に枡れば、「我々の政治的、制床的、むデオロギヌ的安党」に盎接的な脅嚁をもたらす可胜性があるず譊告した。

Referring to the formidable technological capabilities of American companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI, Chen warned that "certain states and organizations" now possess the ability to "rapidly discover vulnerabilities on a large scale... and carry out complex hacking missions."

アン゜ロピックやOpenAIずいった米囜䌁業の匷力な技術力に蚀及し、陳氏は「特定の囜家や組織」が珟圚「倧芏暡に脆匱性を迅速に発芋し  耇雑なハッキング任務を実行する」胜力を有しおいるず譊告した。

He wrote that this poses "a grave risk to our country's critical information infrastructure."

同氏は、それが「わが囜の重芁情報むンフラに深刻なリスク」をもたらすず蚘した。

Chen states that foreign intelligence agencies are leveraging AI and "actively collecting confidential data, including vital national data, trade secrets, and citizens' personal privacy information."

陳氏は、倖囜の諜報機関がAIを掻甚し、「重芁な囜家デヌタ、営業秘密、囜民の個人的なプラむバシヌ情報を含む機密デヌタを積極的に収集しおいる」ず述べおいる。
