On Sunday, US President Donald Trump played down the need for government scrutiny of artificial intelligence development, saying he was concerned about ceding America's advantage over China in global competition, and claiming that victory would help address the risks posed by this advanced technology.

美國總統唐納·川普週日淡化了政府審視人工智慧發展的必要性,表示他憂心在全球競爭中將美國對中國的優勢拱手讓人,並稱勝利將有助於應對這項先進技術所帶來的風險。

Although Trump acknowledged that a certain degree of regulation is necessary, he did not specify the details of any potential rules, and he attributed warnings that the technology is developing too quickly and lacks oversight to unspecified "negative forces," even though industry pioneers had indeed raised such concerns.

儘管川普承認需要一定程度的監管但他並未具體說明潛在規則的細節並將有關該技術發展過快且缺乏監督的警告歸咎於他未指明的「負面力量」然而業界先驅確實曾提出此類擔憂

"We can put up guardrails, we can do various things, but I think there are numerous negative forces pushing this ... this should never have been brought up, and what they're bringing up is something that won't happen," Trump told reporters during a weekend trip to Ireland.

我們可以設置護欄也可以採取各種舉措但我認為有諸多負面力量在推動此事……此事本不應被提出而他們所提的乃是不會發生之事,」川普在週末前往愛爾蘭期間對記者說

"But whoever wins AI wins everything."

但誰贏得AI誰就贏得一切。」

Later on Sunday evening, when asked whether he was trying to play down the risks of AI, Trump said, "I'm not playing it down," and added that artificial intelligence "will do 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,川普說:「我沒有淡化」,並補充說人工智慧好處會多於壞處而且多得多」。

Speaking to reporters on the flight back to Washington, he repeated his earlier remark that "whoever wins AI" matters greatly.

在返回華盛頓的航班上與記者交談時他重複了早些時候關於誰贏得AI事關重大的評論

Just one day before the Republican president made those remarks, Dario Amodei, the CEO of the AI company Anthropic, said the industry should slow down its rapid pace of development so that safety measures have time to catch up.

就在這位共和黨總統發表上述言論的前一天人工智慧公司Anthropic的執行長達里奧·阿莫代伊表示業界應放慢其快速發展的腳步讓安全措施有時間跟上

Other tech leaders, including Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, also publicly agreed with Amodei's view.

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公開同意了阿莫代伊的觀點

When a reporter, after watching a golfer tee off at Trump's resort in Doonbeg during the Irish Open, asked whether the industry should slow down or be regulated, Trump said 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上於川普位於杜恩貝格的度假村觀看一名高爾夫球手開球後詢問業界是否應該放慢速度受到監管時川普表示美國在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 travel to the White House later in September to meet with Trump, and artificial intelligence is likely to be one of the topics on the agenda.

中國國家主席習近平預計將於9月晚些時候前往白宮與川普會面,屆時人工智慧很可能會成為雙方討論的議題之一。

AI has become a major issue in the US election year, as some of the country's largest companies are deploying nationwide networks of computing warehouses in small towns, while Americans from both parties increasingly raise alarms about the loss of farmland and water resources and rising electricity bills.

AI已成為美國大選年一大議題該國一些最大的公司正在小城鎮佈局全國性的運算倉庫網絡來自兩黨的美國人日益農田和水資源減少以及電費上漲發出警報

Although Republicans and Democrats alike are shunning data centers, and many communities are trying to block them, Trump has maintained his support for data centers.

儘管共和黨人民主黨人對資料中心避之不及許多社區試圖阻止它們川普仍維持對資料中心的支持

Former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, has said that his party should make artificial intelligence one of the central issues of its election campaign.

前總統、民主黨人巴拉克·歐巴馬表示,他所屬的政黨應當將人工智慧列為競選的核心議題之一。

"I will discuss this issue, and I will say, 'This is our safety plan, this is our plan to ensure that children are not corrupted by it.' ... I will think about the economic impact in a very concrete way, and understand what it means if jobs are displaced. Where will this cause shocks? How will we respond?" According to a transcript released by his office, he said this last week at an event with U.S. House Democratic Leader and New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.

我會討論這個問題我會說,『這是我們的安全計畫,這是我們確保孩子們不會被它腐蝕的計畫。』……我會以非常具體的方式思考經濟影響並理解如果出現工作被取代意味著什麼這會在哪裡造成衝擊我們將如何應對?」根據其辦公室發布的文字記錄,他在上週與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如此表示

Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, said he expects a meeting this week that will include government officials responsible for internet and technology policy, in order to discuss next steps.

白宮國家經濟委員會主任凱文·哈塞特表示他預計本週將召開會議與會者包括負責網路與科技政策政府官員以商討後續行動

Trump may also meet with members of Congress, some of whom have likewise been sounding the alarm about the rapid pace of AI development.

川普亦可能與國會議員會面而其中部分議員同樣一直對AI發展的迅猛步伐發出警報

"I believe the president is equally interested in hearing their views," Hassett said.

「我認為總統同樣有意聽取他們的意見,」哈塞特表示。

US House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged that it is necessary to put in place "some guardrails, some safety measures" to ensure that AI "does not spiral out of control."

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

However, he aligns with Trump's position, likewise wanting to ensure that the United States does not "lose our edge in the global competition with China, because that would constitute a national security threat."

然而與川普立場一致同樣希望確保美國不會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, said it was necessary to convene industry leaders for "a big meeting, to solve this problem in the same room."

來自路易斯安那州共和黨人強生表示有必要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 said he had discussed the matter with Trump and believed that convening a meeting promptly should be "the next step."

他稱已與川普商討此事並認為迅速召開會議應是下一步」。

"So we have to bring everyone together to make sure we're doing this the right way," Johnson said, adding that this is "a top priority for me and for Congress."

「因此,我們必須將所有人凝聚在一起,確保我們以正確的方式來推動這件事,」強生說道,並補充指出這是「我和國會的首要任務」。

"However, at this point we don't need everyone to panic," Johnson said.

「然而,我們當前並不需要每個人都陷入恐慌,」強生表示。

Jeffries criticised Republican leaders, accusing them of allowing lawmakers to return to their respective constituencies during the final stretch of September.

傑弗里斯批評共和黨領袖,指其容許議員在9月最後一段時間返回各自選區。

"We should now take decisive action in order to slow downas the CEOs have recently acknowledgedthe pace of development, so as to protect the American people and ensure that AI advances safely," Jeffries said.

我們現在應該採取果斷行動以便放慢——正如執行長們最近所承認的那樣——發展步伐以保護美國人民並確保AI安全推進,」傑弗里斯說

When House Democrats meet as a group on Tuesday, AI action will be a "top priority."

眾議院民主黨人週二作為一個團體開會時AI行動將是「高度優先事項」。

Neither Johnson nor Jeffries specified what action Congress might take.

強生傑弗里斯都沒有具體說明國會可能採取什麼行動

Lawmakers agree that more guardrails are needed, but over the years even narrow attempts at regulation have failed, demonstrating Congress's reluctance to regulate the tech industry.

議員們一致認為需要更多護欄但多年來即使是狹隘的規則嘗試也告失敗這證明國會不願監管科技產業

Jacob Coxson formerly worked at Anthropic, but later resigned out of concern about the development of artificial intelligence, and publicly articulated his inner fears.

雅各布·考克森曾任職於Anthropic後因對人工智慧發展的憂慮而辭去職務並公開闡述其內心的恐懼

He advocates the establishment of international regulations, while at the same time promoting industry self-regulation.

他主張應制定國際規範同時推動業界自律

Coxon said he was increasingly worried that AI models might soon acquire superhuman capabilities beyond human control.

考克森表示,他越來越擔心AI模型可能不久後就會獲得超越人類控制的超級能力。

"You are building a mind with human or superhuman capabilities, yet you do not understand what it wants, what it thinks, or how it thinks," Coxen said.

「你正在打造一個具備人類或超人水準的心智,卻不了解它想要什麼、思考什麼,或它思考的方式,」考克森說。

Amid a fierce global race for AI dominance, Coxon also urged the United States and China, the leaders in this competition, to cooperate, slow down, and address safety concerns.

在全球激烈爭奪AI主導地位之際,考克森亦敦促在這場競賽中領先的美國與中國合作,放慢腳步並解決安全問題。

"I do hope that those in China who share the same concerns as we dowho are also trying to build the same technologywill reach the same conclusion: that this must be done in a restrained manner, and that it should not be difficult to cooperate on some kind of mutualmutual slowdown," Coxon said.

我確實希望中國那些與我們關注相同問題的人——他們也在嘗試打造同樣的技術——能得出同樣的結論這件事必須以有節制的方式來做而且應該不難就某種相互——相互放慢達成合作,」考克森說

Otherwise, he said, "we run the risk of engaging in the same kind of race with China, and that could be equally dangerous."

否則,他說,「我們冒著與中國進行同樣競賽的風險,而那可能同樣危險。」

David Sacks, a tech founder and investor, posted on social media to respond to AI leaders' calls for regulation and to challenge them.

科技創始人兼投資人大衛·薩克斯在社群媒體上發文回應AI領袖們監管呼籲,並向他們提出挑戰

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

作為白宮科學與技術顧問委員會聯合主席薩克斯表示阿莫代伊和其他領袖才是決定發展步伐的人。

Sacks stated that they have the ability to slow down the pace of development on their own.

薩克斯表示,他們具備自行放緩發展步伐的能力。

Sachs wrote: "The simplest way to avoid building superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it."

薩克斯寫道:「最簡單的避免建造超智慧的方法,就是你們同意不去建造它。」

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

哈塞特接受了CNN「State of the Union」的採訪強生亮相於CNNNBC「Meet the Press」節目;考克森接受了NBC和ABC「This Week」的採訪,而傑弗里斯則出現在ABC。
