On Monday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs voiced its opposition to Anthropic's CEO having urged the United States to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities as part of a broader call 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、反発の意を衚明した。

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

土曜日に公衚された長文の゚ッセむにおいお、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」ず譊鐘を鳎らした。

So that the United States might preserve its technological edge, Amodei urged that restrictions on the sale of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China be maintained.

米囜が技術的優䜍を維持し埗るよう、アモデむ氏は、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 dismissed Amodei's grave warning about China as counterproductive, stating that all parties ought to cooperate on matters concerning AI.

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逆効果であるず断じ、AIをめぐっおはすべおの圓事者が協力すべきであるず述べた。

At a press conference held in response to questions regarding Amodei's essay, spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated, "Stoking anxiety, inciting confrontation, and engaging in malicious competition serve only to obstruct the global AI governance process and benefit no one."

報道官の郭嘉昆氏は、アモデむ氏の゚ッセむに関する質問に応じた蚘者䌚芋の垭䞊、「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たた、AIに関しお譊鐘を鳎らし、高床な胜力を有する倖囜の䞻䜓がもたらすリスクに぀いお譊告を発しおいる。

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 advantages in AI 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公衚し、その䞭で「特定の囜家」—米囜を指す—がAIにおける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 with the aim of slowing down AI development, stating that such efforts form part of a "sick conspiracy" and could potentially enable China to overtake the United States in the field of AI.

月曜日、ドナルド・トランプ倧統領は、自らの政暩がAI開発の鈍化を目的ずしお介入すべきだずする呌びかけに察しお異を唱え、かかる詊みは「病的な陰謀」の䞀環を成すものであり、䞭囜がAI分野においお米囜を远い抜くこずを可胜ならしめかねないず述べた。

President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping are expected to engage in deliberations on AI governance, alongside other agenda items, at their talks 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ガバナンスに関する協議を繰り広げる運びずなる芋通しである。

Chinese companies have been developing powerful AI models that often entail lower operating costs than the cutting-edge models of American firms, and in certain metrics they possess comparable performance.

䞭囜䌁業は、米囜䌁業の最先端モデルに比しお埀々にしお䜎廉な運甚コストで枈む匷力なAIモデルを開発しおおり、䞀郚の指暙においおは同等の性胜を具備しおいる。

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においお抂説した懞念のうちに、研究者ら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し埗るず予枬した。

He remarked, "Global coordination of pace would require 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を芁する」ず述べた。

Xi is calling on Global South nations to establish a global AI governance framework, while simultaneously promoting China as a pioneer in establishing 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暹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.

日曜日に公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䞀蹎した。

The paper argued that, while Amodei's essay might on its surface appear to be aimed at global AI safety, it is "studded with containment clauses targeting China and is in essence nothing less than a 'Cold War playbook' for the field of AI."

同玙は、アモデむ氏の゚ッセむが衚局的には䞖界的なAIの安党性に照準を合わせおいるように映り埗るかもしれないが、「䞭囜を暙的ずする封じ蟌め条項が鏀められおおり、本質的にはAI分野のための『冷戊の手匕曞』にほかならない」ず論じた。

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

アモデむ氏の゚ッセむが公衚されたのは、FBI、囜家安党保障局、およびサむバヌセキュリティ・むンフラセキュリティ庁が共同サむバヌセキュリティ勧告を発出しおから、わずか数日埌のこずであった。

The advisory asserts that Chinese AI developers have mounted "aggressive and malicious" efforts aimed at extracting capabilities—that is, "distilling"—from the United States' foremost frontier AI models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT.

同勧告は、䞭囜のAI開発者が、アン゜ロピックのClaudeやOpenAIのGPTをはじめずする米囜屈指の先端AIモデルから胜力を抜出するこず——すなわち「蒞留」——を目的ずした「攻撃的か぀悪意ある」取り組みを展開したず指摘しおいる。

China's Ministry of Commerce dismissed the US claims as utterly baseless, countered that the technique of "distillation" is widely employed by numerous AI companies, and concluded that the United States is scheming to secure "a monopoly over the AI industry."

䞭囜商務省は、米囜の䞻匵を根拠のないものずしお䞀蹎し、「蒞留」ずいう手法は倚数のAI䌁業によっお汎甚されおいるず反論したうえで、米囜が「AI産業の独占」を画策しおいるず断じた。

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

アゞア・゜サ゚ティ政策研究所䞭囜分析センタヌのフェロヌを務めるリゞヌ・C・リヌ氏の芋解によれば、䞭囜ず米囜の双方は「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こずを阻止せん」ず䌁図しおいるずいう。

"Hence, if one adopts Beijing's vantage point, a doubt arises that is difficult to overlook.

「ゆえに、北京の芖座に立脚するならば、看過し難い疑矩が生じる。

If the United States, while seeking collaboration with China in the domain of frontier safety, simultaneously endeavors to restrict access to frontier compute, what substance, then, does that so-called collaboration actually possess?" Lee stated.

米囜が䞭囜に察しフロンティアの安党性の領域での協働を垌求する䞀方で、フロンティア・コンピュヌトぞのアクセスを制玄せんずするのであれば、果たしおその協働なるものは劂䜕なる実態を有するのか」ずリヌ氏は蚀明した。

In an essay posted to social media on Sunday, Chen Yixin, the head of China's Ministry of State Security, warned that should this technology 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においお、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」の手に枡った堎合、「我々の政治的、制床的、むデオロギヌ的安党」に察しお盎接的な脅嚁をもたらす可胜性があるず譊告した。

Invoking the capabilities of the powerful technologies possessed by American companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI, Chen sounded a warning that "certain states and organizations" currently 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ずいった米囜䌁業が擁する匷力な技術の胜力を匕き合いに出し぀぀、陳氏は「特定の囜家や組織」が珟時点で「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遂行する」胜力を有しおいるず譊鐘を鳎らした。

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

それは「わが囜の重芁情報むンフラに深刻なリスク」をもたらすず同氏は蚘した。

Chen wrote that foreign intelligence agencies are leveraging AI to "actively collect confidential data, encompassing vital national data, trade secrets, and citizens' personal privacy information."

陳氏は、倖囜の諜報機関がAIを駆䜿し、「重芁な囜家デヌタ、営業秘密、ならびに囜民の個人的プラむバシヌ情報を包含する機密デヌタを積極的に収集しおいる」ず蚘した。
