On Sunday, President Donald Trump played down the need for his administration to regulate the development of artificial intelligence, saying he was concerned about letting China gain the upper hand in the global competition, and asserting that winning that competition would help address the risks posed by this advanced technology.

唐纳德·特朗普总统周日淡化了其政府监管人工智能发展的必要性,表示他担心在全球竞争中让中国占据上风,并称赢得竞争将有助于应对这项先进技术带来的风险。

Trump acknowledged that a certain degree of regulation was necessary, yet he offered no specifics about potential rules, and he attributed warnings that the technology was advancing too quickly without oversight to unnamed "negative forces," even though industry pioneers had raised such concerns.

特朗普承认有必要进行一定程度的监管,但未提供潜在规则的具体细节,并将有关该技术发展过快、缺乏监督的警告归咎于他没有指明的“负面力量”,尽管行业先驱们曾提出过此类担忧。

"We can put up guardrails, we can do this and that, but I think there are a lot of negative forces bringing this up... They shouldn't be bringing it up, they're bringing up things that won't happen," Trump told reporters during a weekend visit to Ireland.

我们可以设置护栏,我们可以做这做那但我认为有很多负面力量在提这件事……他们不该提这件事,他们在提一些不会发生的事情,”特朗普在周末访问爱尔兰期间对记者说

"But whoever wins AI, wins."

谁赢了人工智能,谁就赢了。”

When asked later on Sunday whether he was trying to play down the risks of AI, Trump responded, "I'm not playing it down," and added that AI "will do more good than bad, and much more."

当周日稍晚被问及是否在试图淡化人工智能的风险时,特朗普回应道:“我没有淡化,”并补充说人工智能“好处会多于坏处而且多得多。”

Speaking with reporters on his flight back to Washington, he reiterated his earlier remarks about what is at stake in "who wins AI."

在返回华盛顿的航班上与记者交谈时他重申了此前关于谁赢了人工智能所涉利害的评论

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

就在这位共和党总统发表上述言论的前一天人工智能公司Anthropic的首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊表示该行业应放慢快速推进的发展步伐以便安全措施有时间跟上

Other tech leaders, including Elon Musk and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, publicly agreed with Amodei.

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领袖公开赞同阿莫代伊

When reporters asked whether the industry should slow down or be regulated, Trump, speaking after watching a golfer tee off at the Irish Open at his Doonbeg resort, said that the United States leads China in AI development and that, "frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI wins."

当记者问及该行业是否应当放缓受到监管时,特朗普在他位于杜恩贝格度假村观看爱尔兰公开赛一名高尔夫球手开球后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 will meet with Trump at the White House later in September, and artificial intelligence is likely to be one of the topics they discuss.

中国国家主席习近平将于9月晚些时候在白宫与特朗普举行会晤,人工智能或将成为双方讨论的议题之一。

Artificial intelligence has become one of the major issues in this US election year, because some of America's largest companies are building networks of computing warehouses in small towns across the country, while Americans from both parties are increasingly warning about the loss of farmland and water supplies and rising electricity bills.

人工智能已成为美国大选年的主要议题之一原因在于美国一些最大的公司在全国小镇布局计算仓库网络两党美国人日益就农田和水供应减少以及电费上涨发出警告。

Trump has consistently supported data centres, even as both Republicans and Democrats shy away from them and many communities try to block them.

特朗普始终支持数据中心即便共和党和民主党都对其避之不及许多社区也试图阻止它们

Former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, has said that his party should make artificial intelligence a campaign issue.

前总统、民主党人巴拉克·奥巴马表示,他的政党应该把人工智能作为竞选议题。

"I will talk about it, and I will say, 'This is our safety plan, this is our proposal, to ensure our 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.

我会谈论此事我会说,‘这是我们的安全计划这是我们的方案确保我们的孩子不被其腐蚀。’……我会以非常具体的方式思考经济影响并理解如果出现工作岗位被取代意味着什么

Where will the shocks occur?

冲击会发生在哪里?

How will we respond?"

我们将如何应对?”

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

根据其办公室发布的文字记录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这样说

Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, said he expects a meeting to be held this week, with participants including government officials responsible for cyber and technology policy, to discuss the next steps.

白宫国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈西特表示他预计本周将召开会议与会者包括负责网络和科技政策政府官员以讨论下一步行动

Trump may also meet with members of Congress, some of whom have likewise been warning about the rapid pace of artificial intelligence development.

特朗普也可能与国会议员会面其中一些议员也一直在人工智能发展的快速步伐发出警告

"I surmise that the president is equally eager to hear their views," Hassett said.

“我揣度,总统同样渴望聆听他们的见解,”哈西特表示。

Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, acknowledged that "some guardrails, some safety measures" are needed to ensure that artificial intelligence "does not spiral out of control."

美国众议院议长迈克·约翰逊承认需要一些护栏一些安全措施”,以确保人工智能不至于失控”。

However, like Trump, he also wants to ensure that the United States does not "lose its edge over China in global competition, because that would constitute a national security threat."

然而与特朗普一样他也希望确保美国不会在全球竞争中对中国失去优势因为那将构成国家安全威胁”。

Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, stated that it was necessary to convene industry leaders for "a large meeting to tackle this issue together in the same room."

路易斯安那州共和党人约翰逊有必要召集行业领袖举行“一场大型会议在同一房间里共同解决这个问题”。

He revealed that he had already discussed the matter with Trump and believed that holding the meeting as soon as possible should logically be "the next step."

他透露自己就此事与特朗普进行过讨论并认为尽快召开会议理应是“下一步”。

"Therefore, we must bring everyone together to ensure that we proceed with this matter in the right way," Johnson said, adding that this is "my top priority and that of Congress."

“因此,我们务必将所有人汇聚一堂,以确保我们以正确的方式推进此事,”约翰逊说道,并补充称这是“我和国会的首要任务”。

"However, we don't need everyone to panic right now," Johnson said.

“然而,我们当下并不需要所有人都陷入恐慌,”约翰逊表示。

Jeffries criticised Republican leaders for allowing lawmakers to return to their constituencies during the final stretch of September.

杰弗里斯批评共和党领导人放任议员们在9月的最后一段时间返回各自选区。

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

我们现在就应该果断行动以放慢——正如多位首席执行官最近所承认的那样——发展步伐从而保护美国人民并确保人工智能安全推进,”杰弗里斯说

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

众议院民主党人周二作为团体开会时人工智能行动将是高度优先事项”。

Neither Johnson nor Jeffries proposed any specific steps that Congress might take.

约翰逊杰弗里斯均未提出国会可能采取的具体步骤

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

议员们一致认为需要更多护栏多年来即便是范围有限的规则尝试也告失败这证明国会对监管科技行业并不情愿

Jacob Coxon once worked at Anthropic, but later resigned from his position due to his profound concerns about artificial intelligence, and openly admitted his fears.

雅各布·考克森曾供职于Anthropic后因对人工智能的深切忧虑而辞去职务并公开坦言自己的恐惧

He advocates for the establishment of international rules, while also promoting industry self-regulation.

他主张建立国际规则同时推行行业自我监管

Coxon said he was increasingly worried that AI models might rapidly acquire superhuman capabilities that could slip 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超出人类掌控的超级能力。

"You are building a mind that matches or surpasses human levels, yet you do not understand what it wants, what it thinks, or how it thinks," Coxen said.

你正在构建一个达到甚至超越人类水平的心智,却不理解它想要什么思考什么或者它如何思考,”考克森说

As global competition for AI dominance intensifies, Coxon also urged the United States and China, the two frontrunners in this race, to cooperate in order to slow down and address safety concerns.

争夺人工智能主导权的全球竞争日趋激烈之际,考克森敦促在这场竞赛中领先的美中两国开展合作放慢步伐解决安全问题

"I do hope that those in China who are examining the same problems as we arethat is, those who are trying to build the same technologywill reach the same conclusion: that it must be done in a restrained manner, and that it should be quite easy to cooperate on some kind of mutualmutual slowdown," Coxen said.

“我确实希望,中国那些正在审视与我们相同问题的人,也就是他们正在试图构建相同技术的人,会得出相同结论:必须以有节制的方式来做,而且应该很容易就某种相互——相互放缓——展开合作,”考克森说。

Otherwise, he said, "we could end up in the same kind of race with China, and that could be just as dangerous."

否则,他说,“我们可能与中国陷入同样的竞赛,而这同样可能很危险。”

David Sacks, a tech founder and investor who serves as co-chair of the White House's science and technology advisory council, posted on social media to respond to AI leaders' calls for regulation and to challenge them on the issue.

科技创始人兼投资人白宫科技顾问委员会联合主席大卫·萨克斯在社交媒体上发文回应人工智能领袖们的监管呼吁,并就此向他们提出挑战

Sacks said that Amodei and other leaders are the ones who determine the pace of development.

萨克斯表示阿莫代伊和其他领袖才是决定发展速度的人。

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

萨克斯表示,他们具备自行放缓发展步伐的能力。

"The simplest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it," Sacks wrote.

“不构建超级智能的最简单方法,就是你们同意不构建它,”萨克斯写道。

Hassett gave an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," while Johnson appeared on CNN's and NBC's "Meet the Press," Cockson showed up on NBC's and ABC's "This Week," and Jeffries appeared on ABC's program.
