On Sunday, US President Donald Trump played down the necessity for his administration to scrutinise the development of artificial intelligence, candidly acknowledging his apprehension that America might forfeit its edge over China in the global contest, and asserting that prevailing in this rivalry would help mitigate the risks stemming from this advanced technology.

美國總統唐納·川普於週日淡化了其政府審視人工智慧發展之必要性坦言其憂心於全球競逐中美國對中國之優勢拱手讓人並聲稱勝利將有助於應對這項先進技術所衍生的風險

Although Trump acknowledged that a certain degree of regulation was indeed warranted, he refrained from elaborating on the specifics of any potential rules, instead attributing warnings that the technology was advancing too rapidly and without adequate oversight to unspecified "negative forces" — even though such concerns had in fact been raised by industry pioneers themselves.

儘管川普承認某種程度的監管確有其必要,他卻未就潛在規則的具體細節多加著墨,反而將有關該技術發展過速且缺乏監督的警示,歸咎於他未加指明的「負面力量」——儘管此類疑慮實則確由業界先驅所提出。

"While we can put up guardrails and we can take various measures, I think there are a lot of negative forces that are pushing this issue... I shouldn't even be bringing it up, and what they're saying is something that's never going to happen," Trump told reporters during a weekend trip to Ireland.

我們固然可以設置護欄亦可以採取諸般舉措然而我認為諸多負面力量正對此議題推波助瀾……本不應提及此事而彼等所提者乃終將不會發生之事,」川普於週末前往愛爾蘭期間對記者如是言

"But whoever wins AI, wins everything."

然則誰贏得AI誰便贏得一切。」

Later on Sunday, when asked whether he was attempting to play down the risks of AI, Trump said, "I'm not playing it down," adding that artificial intelligence "is going to be more good than bad, and much more."

週日晚些時候當被問及是否試圖淡化AI的風險時,川普表示:「我沒有淡化」,並補充道人工智慧好處會多於壞處而且多得多」。

Speaking with reporters aboard his flight back to Washington, he reiterated his earlier remark that it matters greatly who wins AI.

在返回華盛頓的航班上與記者交談時他重申了此前關於「誰贏得AI事關重大評論

On the day before the Republican president made those remarks, Dario Amodei, the chief executive of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, argued that the industry ought to slow its breakneck pace of development so that safety measures could keep up without undue haste.

這位共和黨總統發表上述言論的前一日人工智慧公司Anthropic執行長達里奧·阿莫代伊即主張業界理應放緩其迅猛的發展步伐俾使安全措施得以從容跟上

Other technology leaders, among them Elon Musk and Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, likewise publicly endorsed Amodei's position.

包括伊隆·馬斯克OpenAI執行長山姆·奧特曼在內的其他科技領袖亦公開附議阿莫代伊之觀點

When a journalist, having witnessed a golfer tee off at Trump's resort in Doonbeg during the Irish Open, asked whether the industry ought to slow its pace or submit to regulation, Trump remarked that the United States leads China in AI development, "and frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI wins everything."

當一名記者在愛爾蘭公開賽期間於川普座落杜恩貝格的度假村內目睹一名高爾夫球手開球後詢及業界是否理應放緩步伐接受監管之際,川普表示美國在AI發展方面領先中國,「而且坦率地說我希望保持這種狀態因為誰贏得AI誰就贏得一切。」

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit the White House later in September for a meeting with Trump, and artificial intelligence is highly likely to figure among the matters up for discussion between the two sides.

中國國家主席習近平預料將於9月晚些時候蒞臨白宮與川普舉行會晤人工智慧極有可能位列雙方磋商事項之中

Artificial intelligence has become one of the central issues in America's election year; some of the country's largest corporations are deploying a nationwide network of computing warehouses across small towns, while Americans from both parties are increasingly raising alarms about the dwindling supply of farmland and water as well as the escalating cost of electricity.

人工智慧已然成為美國大選年度核心議題之一該國若干規模最為龐大的企業正於小城鎮間佈建全國性的運算倉庫網絡,而來自兩黨的美國民眾日益農田與水資源的遞減以及電費的攀升發出警訊。

Even though Republicans and Democrats alike are eager to keep data centers at arm's length, and numerous communities are attempting to hold them at bay, Trump has nonetheless maintained his supportive stance toward data centers.

儘管共和黨與民主黨人士對資料中心避之唯恐不及眾多社區試圖加以阻遏川普仍舊維持對資料中心的支持立場

Former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, has stated that his party ought to place artificial intelligence at the heart of its campaign platform.

前總統、民主黨人巴拉克·歐巴馬表示,其所屬政黨理應將人工智慧列為競選核心議題。

"I will make the case, and I will affirm: 'This is our plan for security, and this is our plan to keep our children safe from its corrosive influence.' ... I will examine the economic ramifications in the most concrete terms, and grasp what it signifies if jobs are displaced.

我將論述此一議題,並申明:『此乃我們的安全計畫亦是我們確保孩童免受其腐蝕之計畫。』……我將以極為具體之方式審度經濟層面之影響並洞悉倘若工作遭取代所代表之意涵

Where will this inflict its impact?

此將於何處造成衝擊

And how shall we respond?"

我們又將如何應對?」

According to a transcript released by his office, he made these remarks last week at an event with Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the U.S. House of Representatives and a congressman from New York.

根據其辦公室所發布之文字記錄於上週美國眾議院民主黨領袖紐約州眾議員哈基姆·傑弗里斯的一場活動中作如是表示。

Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, disclosed that he anticipates a meeting will be convened this week, with participants encompassing government officials charged with overseeing internet and technology policy, in order to deliberate on the course of subsequent action.

白宮國家經濟委員會主任凱文·哈塞特透露他預期本週將召開會議與會者涵蓋主責網路及科技政策政府官員藉以商討後續行動方針

Trump may also meet with members of Congress, several of whom have long been sounding the alarm with considerable frequency about the breakneck momentum of artificial intelligence's development.

川普亦可能與國會議員會晤而其中若干人士長期以來亦對人工智慧發展之迅猛勢頭頻頻示警

"As I see it, the President is likewise inclined to heed their views," Hassett remarked.

「依我所見,總統亦有意聆聽彼等之意見,」哈塞特如是說道。

Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, conceded that it is indeed necessary to establish "some guardrails, some safety measures" to ensure that AI "does not spiral out of control."

美國眾議院議長麥克·強生坦承確有必要設置一些護欄一些安全措施」,以確保AI不會失控」。

Nevertheless, in a manner entirely consistent with Trump, he is equally eager to ensure that the United States does not "lose our edge in the global competition with China, for that would constitute a national security threat."

然而與川普如出一轍,他亦亟欲確保美國不致在與中國的全球競爭中失去我們的優勢因為那將構成國家安全威脅」。

Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, stated that there was an urgent need to convene industry leaders for "a large meeting to address this issue together in the same room."

來自路易斯安那州的共和黨人強生表示亟需召集業界領袖舉行一場大型會議在同一房間裡共同解決這個問題」。

He claimed to have discussed the matter with Trump and asserted that promptly convening such a meeting ought to be "the next step."

他聲稱已與川普就此議題進行商討並認為迅速召開會議理應是下一步」。

"For this reason, we must rally all parties to ensure that this matter is advanced in an appropriate manner," Johnson said, adding that this was "my foremost task, as well as Congress's."

職是之故我們務須凝聚各方確保此事以妥適之方式推進,」強生言道並補充指出此乃與國會首要任務」。

"However, there is truly no need at this moment for everyone to descend into panic," Johnson remarked.

「然而,我們此刻委實無需人人皆陷於恐慌,」強生如是說道。

Jeffries castigated Republican leaders, upbraiding them for allowing lawmakers to return to their respective constituencies in the waning days of September.

傑弗里斯抨擊共和黨領袖,斥其聽任議員於九月尾聲返回各自選區。

"We ought at this moment to take decisive action so that we may slow down as the chief executives have recently acknowledgedthe pace of development, thereby protecting the American people and ensuring that AI advances safely," Jeffries stated.

「我們此刻理當採取果斷行動俾使我們得以放緩——正如諸位執行長近日所坦承的那般——發展步伐從而保護美國人民並確保AI得以安全推進,」傑弗里斯表示

As House Democrats gather as a group on Tuesday, action on AI will be designated a "top priority."

眾議院民主黨人於週二以團體形式集會之際AI行動將列為高度優先事項」。

Neither Johnson nor Jeffries put forward any proposal regarding the specific actions Congress might take.

強生傑弗里斯均未國會可能採取具體行動提出任何方案

Although lawmakers unanimously acknowledge the urgent need for more guardrails, the fact that even narrowly scoped regulatory attempts have repeatedly foundered over the years amply demonstrates Congress's lack of appetite for overseeing the tech industry.

議員們一致認同亟需增設更多護欄然而多年來即便是範圍狹隘規則嘗試屢屢受挫足證國會監管科技產業之意願闕如。

Jacob Coxson was formerly employed by Anthropic, but subsequently resigned his post out of apprehension regarding artificial intelligence, and publicly articulated his fears.

雅各布·考克森曾受僱於Anthropic嗣後因對人工智能之隱憂而掛冠求去並公開闡述其憂懼

He vigorously advocates the establishment of international norms and champions industry self-regulation.

力主訂立國際規範並倡導業界自律

Coxon stated that he had grown increasingly apprehensive that AI models might swiftly attain superhuman capabilities sufficient to elude human control.

考克森表示他日益憂慮AI模型或將迅即獲致足以超脫人類掌控之超級能力

"You are setting about constructing a mind that attains, or even surpasses, human level, yet you are utterly ignorant of what it desires, what it thinks, and even of the manner in which its thinking operates," Coxen said thus.

你正著手構築一個達致甚或超逾人類水平心智對其所欲為何所思為何乃至其思維運作之方式一無所知,」考克森如是說

At a time when the world is jockeying fiercely for AI supremacy, Coxon also urges the United States and China, the two nations leading this race, to collaborate fully, to slow their pace, and to set about addressing safety-related concerns.

值此全球為角逐AI霸主地位而競相傾軋之際考克森亦敦促引領此一競賽之美國與中國通力合作放緩步伐並著手化解安全層面之隱憂

"I do sincerely hope that those in China who are examining the same problems as we arethey too are attempting to build the same technologieswill arrive at the same conclusion: that this must be done in a restrained manner, and that it should be quite easy to reach cooperation on some kind of mutualmutual slowdown," Coxon said.

我確實殷切期望中國那些與我們審視著同樣問題——他們亦正試圖建構同樣的技術——的人,會得出同樣的結論此事必須以有節制的方式來做而且應該很容易就某種相互——相互放慢達成合作,」考克森說

Otherwise, he said, "we would be courting the very same kind of rivalry with China, and such a risk might prove equally perilous."

否則,他說道,「我們無異於甘冒與中國陷入同一種競逐的風險,而這般風險,恐亦同樣凶險。」

David Sacks, a technology founder and investor, posted on social media, responding to AI leaders' calls for regulation and throwing down a challenge to them.

科技創始人兼投資人大衛·薩克斯於社群媒體上發文回應AI領袖們的監管呼籲向彼等提出挑戰

Sacks, who serves as co-chair of the White House Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, said that Amodei and other leaders are the ones who determine the pace of development.

身為白宮科學與技術顧問委員會聯合主席之薩克斯表示阿莫代伊與其他領袖方為決定發展步伐之人。

Sacks pointed out that they themselves possess the capacity to slow the pace of development on their own initiative.

薩克斯指出,他們本身即具備自行放緩發展步伐的能力。

"If you wish to forestall the creation of superintelligence, the most straightforward path is none other than for you all to reach a consensus and resolve not to build it," Sacks wrote.

欲阻遏超智慧之締造最直截了當之途莫過於諸位達成共識決意不予建構,」薩克斯如是寫道

Hassett gave an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," while Johnson appeared on CNN and NBC's "Meet the Press"; Coxson was interviewed on NBC and ABC's "This Week," and Jeffries made an appearance on ABC.

哈塞特接受了CNN「State of the Union」的採訪,而強生則現身於CNN和NBC「Meet the Press」節目;考克森接受了NBC和ABC「This Week」的採訪,傑弗里斯則亮相於ABC。
