On Sunday, President Donald Trump played down the necessity for his administration to impose regulation on the development of artificial intelligence, asserting that he was concerned the United States might cede its competitive edge to China in the global race, and contending that prevailing in this contest would help mitigate the myriad risks spawned by this cutting-edge technology.

唐纳德·特朗普总统于周日淡化了其政府对人工智能发展实施监管的必要性,声称他忧心于美国在全球竞争中或将优势拱手让与中国,并断言赢得这场角逐将有助于化解这项前沿技术所衍生的种种风险。

Trump acknowledged that regulation was warranted, yet he refrained from elucidating the specifics of any prospective rules, attributing warnings that the technology was advancing too rapidly and without adequate oversight to unspecified "negative forces," even though such concerns had been raised precisely by industry pioneers themselves.

特朗普承认监管存在其必要性,却未就潜在规则的具体细节予以阐明,并将有关该技术发展过速、缺乏监督的警示归咎于他未曾指明的“负面力量”,尽管此类忧虑恰恰由行业先驱们提出过。

"We can certainly put guardrails in place, we can certainly do this and that, but in my view, a great many negative forces are hyping this up... they shouldn't be hyping it up, and what they're hyping up is nothing more than things that will never come to pass," Trump told reporters during a weekend visit to Ireland.

我们固然可以设置护栏,固然可以如此这般然而依我之见诸多负面力量正在炒作此事……他们本不该炒作此事,他们所炒作的不过是一些根本不会发生的事情,”特朗普于周末访问爱尔兰期间对记者如是说

"But whoever comes out on top in artificial intelligence wins the whole game."

在人工智能领域胜出,谁便赢得了全局。”

When asked later on Sunday whether he had intended to play down the risks inherent in artificial intelligence, Trump responded, "I didn't play it down," before going on to add that AI's "benefits are going to far exceed the negatives, and by a lot."

当周日稍晚被询及是否意在淡化人工智能所潜藏的风险时,特朗普回应道:“我并未淡化,”继而补充称人工智能“益处将远超弊端且超出甚多。”

During a conversation with reporters aboard the flight back to Washington, he reiterated his earlier remarks concerning the stakes involved in "who wins" in the field of artificial intelligence.

在返抵华盛顿的航班上与记者交谈期间他重申了此前“谁在人工智能领域胜出”所牵涉利害关系评论

On the day before the Republican president made those remarks, Dario Amodei, the chief executive of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, had argued that the industry ought to slow its breakneck pace of development so that safety measures could keep up.

这位共和党总统发表上述言论的前一日人工智能公司Anthropic的首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊即主张该行业理应放缓其迅猛推进的发展步伐以便安全措施得以从容跟进

Other technology leaders, among them Elon Musk and Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, likewise voiced public agreement with Amodei's position.

包括埃隆·马斯克OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼在内的其他科技界领袖公开对阿莫代伊的立场表示赞同。

When a reporter asked whether the industry ought to be slowed down or subjected to regulation, Trump was at his Doonbeg resort watching a golfer tee off at the Irish Open; he then remarked that the United States held a lead over China in artificial intelligence development, adding, "Frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI wins."

当记者询及该行业是否应予放缓或纳入监管时特朗普正在其杜恩贝格度假村观看爱尔兰公开赛一名高尔夫球手开球随后他表示美国在人工智能发展方面领先于中国,“坦率地说我想保持这种状态因为谁赢了人工智能,谁就赢了。”

Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House later in September, and artificial intelligence is likely to figure among the topics on their agenda.

中国国家主席习近平将于九月晚些时候在白宫与特朗普举行会晤,人工智能恐将成为双方讨论的议题之一。

Artificial intelligence has become one of the central issues of the American election year, owing to the fact that several of the nation's largest corporations are extending networks of computing warehouses across small towns nationwide, while Americans of both parties increasingly sound the alarm over the shrinkage of farmland and water supplies and the escalation of electricity bills.

人工智能已然成为美国大选年核心议题之一其缘由在于美国若干规模最大的企业正于全国各小镇铺展计算仓库网络而两党美国人日益就农田与水供应之缩减以及电费之攀升发出警示

Trump has consistently lent his support to data centers, even though Republicans and Democrats alike recoil from them and numerous communities strive to thwart their establishment.

特朗普始终对数据中心予以支持,纵然共和党与民主党对其唯恐避之不及诸多社区力图阻遏其落地

Former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, has asserted that his party ought to place artificial intelligence squarely on its campaign agenda.

前总统、民主党人巴拉克·奥巴马宣称,其所属政党理应将人工智能纳入竞选议程。

"I will open up a discussion on this matter, and I will make it clear: 'This is our security strategy, this is our plan, designed to ensure our children are shielded from its encroachment.' … I will examine the economic ramifications in the most concrete terms and grasp what it would mean if jobs were to be displaced.

我会就此事展开讨论我会表明,‘此乃我们的安全方略此乃我们的规划旨在确保我们的孩子免受其侵蚀。’……我会以极为具体的方式审视经济层面的影响并洞悉倘若出现工作岗位被取代将意味着什么

Where will the shocks manifest? How shall we respond?" He made these remarks, according to a transcript released by his office, during an event held last week with Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the U.S. House of Representatives and congressman from New York.

冲击会在何处显现我们将如何加以应对?”根据其办公室发布的文字记录,他在上周与美国众议院民主党领袖、纽约州众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯举行的一场活动中如是说

Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, said he expects a meeting to be convened this week, bringing together government officials who oversee cyber and technology policy, with the aim of deliberating on subsequent measures.

白宫国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈西特他预计本周将召开一场会议与会者包括执掌网络与科技政策政府官员旨在磋商后续举措

Trump may also hold a meeting with members of Congress, some of whom have long been sounding the alarm about the breakneck momentum of artificial intelligence development.

特朗普亦有可能与国会议员举行会晤而其中部分议员长期以来亦持续人工智能发展的迅猛势头发出警示

"I surmise that the president is likewise inclined to hear their views," Hassett remarked.

“我揣度,总统亦有意聆听他们的意见,”哈西特如是说。

Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, candidly acknowledged that artificial intelligence does indeed require "some guardrails, some safety measures" to keep it in check, so that it does not "spin out of control."

美国众议院议长迈克·约翰逊坦言人工智能确需一些护栏一些安全措施加以约束方能“不致失控”。

Yet, in precisely the same vein as Trump, he likewise strives to ensure that the United States does not "lose its edge to China in global competition, for that would constitute a national security threat."

然而与特朗普如出一辙他亦力图确保美国不致在全球竞争中对中国丧失优势盖因这将构成国家安全威胁”。

Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, declared that there was an urgent need to convene industry leaders for "a big meeting, all in the same room, to solve this problem together."

路易斯安那州共和党人约翰逊宣称亟需召集业界领袖举行“一场大型会议在同一房间里共同解决这个问题”。

He claimed to have consulted Trump on the matter and argued that convening such a meeting as soon as possible ought to be "the next step."

他声称已就此与特朗普进行过磋商并认为尽快召开会议理应成为下一步”。

"Therefore, we will inevitably have to bring together all parties concerned to ensure that we proceed with this matter in the right way," Johnson said, adding that this was "my foremost priority, along with that of Congress."

故此我们势必将各方人士悉数汇聚一堂以确保我们以正确的方式推进此事,”约翰逊如是说并补充道此乃我与国会的首要任务”。

"Yet at this juncture, we do not require everyone to descend into panic," Johnson remarked.

“然而,值此当下,我们并不需要所有人都陷入恐慌,”约翰逊如是说。

Jeffries castigated Republican leaders for acquiescing as lawmakers returned to their respective districts in late September.

杰弗里斯抨击共和党领导人纵容议员于9月尾声各自返回本选区。

"We should act decisively right now to slow downas the chief executives have themselves recently acknowledgedthe pace of development, so as to protect the American people and ensure that artificial intelligence advances safely," Jeffries said.

“我们当下便应果断采取行动以延缓——正如诸位首席执行官近日所坦承的那般——发展步伐从而保护美国人民并确保人工智能得以安全推进,”杰弗里斯表示

When House Democrats convene as a group on Tuesday, action on artificial intelligence will be a "top priority."

众议院民主党人于周二召开团体会议之际,人工智能行动将成为“高度优先事项”。

Neither Johnson nor Jeffries elaborated on the specific measures that Congress might put into effect.

约翰逊杰弗里斯均未国会可能付诸实施的具体举措予以阐明

Although lawmakers are unanimous in acknowledging the need for more guardrails, even attempts at rules of an exceedingly limited scope have repeatedly met with defeat over the years, laying bare Congress's hesitancy and reluctance when it comes to regulating the technology industry.

议员们一致认同有必要增设更多护栏然而多年来,即便是范围极为有限的规则尝试亦屡遭挫败足见国会在监管科技行业一事上的踌躇不情愿

Jacob Coxon, formerly a member of Anthropic's ranks, resigned his post out of a profound apprehension regarding artificial intelligence, and openly laid bare the depths of his trepidation.

雅各布·考克森昔日Anthropic麾下的一员因对人工智能心怀忧惧而挂冠求去并公然袒露其惶恐之情

He has been a vigorous advocate for the establishment of international regulations, while simultaneously championing self-regulation within the industry.

他力主订立国际规制并倡导行业自律

Coxon stated that he was increasingly apprehensive that AI models might rapidly attain superhuman capabilities potentially beyond human control.

考克森表示,他日益忧虑人工智能模型或将迅速获得可能逾越人类掌控的超级能力。

"You are constructing a mind of human level or even superhuman level, yet you remain utterly ignorant of what it desires, what it thinks, or the very mechanisms by which its thinking operates," Coxen said thus.

你正在构建一个具备人类水平乃至超人类水平心智对其所欲为何所思为何,抑或其思维运作之机理一无所知,”考克森如是说

At a time when the global contest for artificial intelligence supremacy is growing ever more intense, Coxon also urged the United States and Chinathe two nations at the forefront of this raceto join forces, with a view to slowing the pace of development and resolving safety concerns.

值此全球竞逐人工智能霸权日趋白热化之际考克森亦敦促在这场竞赛中处于领先地位的美中两国携手合作以期放缓发展节奏化解安全问题

"I genuinely hope that those in China who are grappling with precisely the same problems as we arethat is, those attempting to build the same technologieswill arrive at the same conclusion: that this must be pursued in a measured fashion, and that it ought not to be difficult to reach some kind of mutualmutual slowdowncooperation," Coxen remarked.

“我着实期望,中国那些正在审视与我们别无二致之问题的人——亦即那些正试图构建相同技术的人——能够得出相同结论:此事必须以有节制的方式为之,且理应不难就某种相互——相互放缓——达成合作,”考克森如是说。

Otherwise, he asserted, "we may find ourselves drawn into a race with China of precisely the same kind, and one whose perils are likely to be no less grave."

否则,他声称,“我们或将与中国陷入如出一辙的竞赛,而其危险程度亦恐不相上下。”

David Sacks, a tech founder and investor who serves as co-chair of the White House's technology advisory council, took to social media to respond toand sharply rebukethe calls for regulation from leaders in the field of artificial intelligence.

科技创始人兼投资人白宫科技顾问委员会联合主席大卫·萨克斯于社交媒体发文回应人工智能领域领袖们的监管呼吁对其发起诘难

Sacks argued that it is Amodei and other such leaders who are, in fact, the ones controlling the pace of development.

萨克斯表示阿莫代伊及其他领袖方才是掌控发展节奏的主体

Sacks said that they have the capacity to slow down development of their own accord.

萨克斯说,他们有能力自行放慢发展。

"The simplest way to avert the path toward building superintelligence is for you all to agree not to build it," Sachs wrote.

“欲规避构建超级智能之途,最简捷者,莫过于诸君共诺不构建之,”萨克斯如是写道。

Hassett gave an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Johnson appeared on CNN's and NBC's "Meet the Press," Coxon showed up on NBC's and ABC's "This Week," and Jeffries likewise made an appearance on ABC.

哈西特接受了CNN“国情咨文”节目的采访,约翰逊则亮相于CNN与NBC的“会见新闻界”节目,考克森现身于NBC和ABC的“本周”节目,而杰弗里斯亦登场于ABC节目。
