On Monday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its indignation at remarks by Anthropic's chief executive calling on the United States to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilitiesremarks that are, after all, merely one component of his broader argument in favour of a global slowdown in AI development.

中国外交部于周一Anthropic首席执行官所发出的呼吁美方遏制中国人工智能能力的言论表达了愤慨而此番言论不过是主张全球放缓AI发展更为宏阔论调中的一个组成部分罢了。

In a lengthy disquisition published on Saturday, Dario Amodei sounded a warning, asserting that "China's lead in AI would pose a grave danger to the United States and the world."

在周六刊发的一篇长篇论述中达里奥·阿莫代伊发出警示"中国在AI领域的领先将对美国和世界构成严重危险。"

In order for the United States to sustain its technological pre-eminence, Amodei exhorted that restrictions on the sale of the most advanced AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China be maintained.

为使美国维系其技术优势阿莫代伊吁请持续施加对华销售最先进AI芯片及芯片制造设备的限制

A spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs asserted that Amodei's alarmist rhetoric directed at China is in fact counterproductive, and that all parties ought to join hands and advance the development of artificial intelligence.

中国外交部发言人指称,阿莫代伊针对中国的危言耸听之举实乃适得其反,各方理应携手共进,推动人工智能之发展。

"Spreading panic, stoking confrontation, and provoking cutthroat competition will only disrupt the course of global AI governancesomething that benefits no one," spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated in response to questions at a press conference regarding Amodei's article.

散布恐慌煽动对抗挑起恶性竞争只会扰乱全球人工智能治理的进程——此于任何人皆无裨益,”发言人郭嘉昆在新闻发布会上就阿莫代伊一文的相关提问作出回应时如是表示

For its part, China's leadership has likewise sounded a note of caution regarding artificial intelligence, drawing attention to the risks posed by foreign entities endowed with advanced capabilities.

就中方而言中国领导层对人工智能发出了警示,提请各方关注具备先进能力外国实体所构成的风险

In an article published on Sunday, a senior Chinese security official took issue with "certain countries"an oblique reference to the United Statesfor leveraging their pre-eminence in AI to stifle innovation in other nations.

中国政府一位高级安全官员于周日撰文指摘“某些国家”——暗指美国——凭借其在AI领域的优势地位遏制他国创新

On Monday, President Donald Trump dismissed calls for his administration to intervene in order to slow the pace of artificial intelligence development, deriding such proposals as part and parcel of a "sick conspiracy," and warning that measures of this kind could enable China to overtake the United States in the field of artificial intelligence.

周一,唐纳德·特朗普总统对要求其政府出手干预、以放缓人工智能发展进程的呼声予以驳斥,将此类主张斥为"病态阴谋"的组成部分,并警告称,这般举措恐将使中国在人工智能领域实现对美国的赶超。

At a meeting anticipated to take place on September 24, Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to hold consultations on artificial intelligence governance and other topics.

特朗普与中国领导人习近平预计将于9月24日举行的会晤中,就人工智能治理等议题展开磋商。

Chinese enterprises have already developed AI models of exceptional performance, whose usage costs are frequently lower than those of the most advanced models from American companies; by certain metrics, the capabilities of the two are, so to speak, evenly matched.

中国企业已然研发出性能卓绝的AI模型,其使用成本往往低于美国公司的尖端模型;就某些指标而言,二者的能力可谓不分轩轾。

Among the manifold concerns outlined in his article, Amodei prophesies that unless researchers are willing to slacken their pace, a cohort of AI "agents" may well seize control of the internet within six to twelve months.

在其文章中所概述的诸般忧虑之中,阿莫代伊预言除非研究人员肯于放缓步伐,否则一群AI“代理”或将在六至十二个月内接管互联网

He asserts, "Global synchronization will necessitate collaboration with China, an authoritarian state that possesses by far the most advanced AI capabilities to date."

他宣称,“全球同步将需要与中国合作这个威权国家拥有迄今为止最先进的AI能力。”

Xi Jinping urged the construction of a global AI governance framework among Global South countries, while simultaneously casting China as a pioneer in building an open-source AI community.

习近平敦促在全球南方国家之间构建全球人工智能治理框架,并与此同时将中国塑造为缔建开源人工智能社群的先行者。

In an editorial published on Sunday, China's state-run Global Times dismissed Amodei's article as a veiled call for the "containment" of China, couched in oblique rhetoric.

在周日刊发的一篇社论中中国官方媒体《环球时报》将阿莫代伊的文章贬斥为以隐晦修辞变相呼吁对华"遏制"。

The newspaper asserted that while Amodei's piece ostensibly appeared to focus on global AI safety, it was in fact "replete with containment clauses aimed at China, essentially amounting to a 'Cold War script' for the AI domain."

该报称阿莫代伊的文章表面上似乎聚焦于全球AI安全实则"充斥着针对中国的遏制条款本质上是AI领域的'冷战剧本'。"

Several days before Amodei's article went to press, the FBI, the National Security Agency, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency jointly issued a cybersecurity advisory last week.

阿莫代伊的文章付梓前数日,联邦调查局国家安全局网络安全和基础设施安全局于上周联袂发布了一份网络安全联合公告

The advisory alleged that Chinese AI developers have resorted to "aggressive, malicious" means to extract or "distill" capabilities from some of America's most cutting-edge AI models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT.

该公告指称中国AI开发者诉诸"激进、恶意"之手段自美国若干最为尖端的AI模型中攫取或"蒸馏"其能力所涉模型包括Anthropic的ClaudeOpenAI的GPT

China's Ministry of Commerce issued a scathing rebuttal of the relevant US allegations, dismissing them as utterly baseless and pointing out that "distillation" techniques have long been widely adopted by a great many AI companies.

中国商务部对美方相关指控予以严词驳斥指其纯属无稽之谈并指出“蒸馏”技术早已为众多人工智能企业所普遍采用

The ministry went on to say that the United States is seeking "a monopoly over the AI industry."

该部门进一步表示美国正谋求“AI行业的垄断”

Li Qi, a research fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, points out that both China and the United States share a common aspiration, namely "to ensure that the other side cannot establish a technological chokepoint against them."

亚洲协会政策研究所中国分析中心研究员李其指出中美双方均怀有这样一种诉求确保对方无法对自己建立技术扼制点”。

"For this reason, from Beijing's vantage point, one question stands out starkly: if the United States, on the one hand, hopes for China's collaboration with it in frontier security domains, yet on the other hand, constrains China's access to frontier computing power, then what form, precisely, is such cooperation supposed to take?" Li Qi remarked.

职是之故自北京之视角观之有一问题昭然若揭倘若美国一方面冀望中国在前沿安全领域与之协作另一方面对其获取前沿算力加以掣肘那么此种合作究竟为何种形态?”李其如是说

Chen Yixin, the Minister of China's Ministry of State Security, warned in an article published on Sunday on the ministry's social media platform that, should this technology fall into the hands of "hostile forces and people with ulterior motives," it could pose a direct threat to "our political, institutional, and ideological security."

中国国家安全部部长陈一新于周日在该部社交媒体平台上撰文警示此项技术倘若落入"敌对势力别有用心之人"之手则可能对"我们的政治制度意识形态安全"构成直接威胁

Citing the formidable technological capabilities of American companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI, Chen Yixin cautioned that "certain countries and organizations" now possess the wherewithal to "discover vulnerabilities rapidly and on a massive scale... and carry out sophisticated hacking operations."

陈一新援引Anthropic与OpenAI等美国企业所具备的强大技术能力警示道“某些国家和组织”如今已拥有“大规模快速发现漏洞……并执行复杂黑客任务”的实力

This, he wrote, "poses a grave risk to our country's critical information infrastructure."

他写道“对我国关键信息基础设施构成严重风险”。

Chen Yixin wrote that foreign intelligence agencies are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to "actively collect sensitive data, including critical national data, trade secrets, and citizens' private personal information."

陈一新写道,外国间谍机构正转而诉诸人工智能,以"积极收集敏感数据,包括关键国家数据、商业秘密和公民个人隐私信息"。
