On Thursday, King Charles III urged senior leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia to ensure that artificial intelligence remains under control and is made to serve humanity and the planet.

国王查尔斯三世于周四敦促OpenAIAnthropic谷歌DeepMind英伟达诸高层领导人务须确保人工智能处于可控之境地并使之服务于人类与地球

At this pivotal juncture in the development of artificial intelligence, a gathering convened in Scotland set out to examine how the technology might serve the good of society, even as debate raged over whether its breakneck advances were on the verge of wrenching it free from human control.

值此人工智能发展之关键时刻,一场于苏格兰举行的聚会旨在探讨该技术如何造福社会,而围绕其飞速进步是否行将令其挣脱人类掌控的争论亦正甚嚣尘上。

"The evolution of artificial intelligenceboth in its essence and in its paceis at once equally captivating and profoundly disquieting," the King remarked in his opening address.

“人工智能的演进——无论就其本质抑或速度而言——皆同样既引人入胜,又令人深感忧虑,”国王在开幕致辞中表示。

He declared that the existential danger of these technologies "falling into the wrong hands and potentially being used in catastrophic ways" urgently demanded scrutiny.

他宣称,这些技术“落入 wrong hands 并可能以灾难性方式被使用的生存危险”亟须得到紧急审视。

Must we not, then, urgently secure adequate and effective means of control before it is too late?

那么,我们岂非亟需在一切为时已晚之前,掌握充分且行之有效的控制手段?

The King urged the attendeesamong them Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, and Demis Hassabis, the chairman of Google DeepMindto reflect deeply on the "fundamental principles" that should govern the development of artificial intelligence.

国王敦促与会者——其中包括英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋与谷歌DeepMind主席德米斯·哈萨比斯——就指导人工智能发展的“基本原则”展开深思。

Sarah Friar, the chief financial officer of ChatGPT's developer OpenAI, was also present at the meeting, as was Kanishka Narayan, the UK's minister for AI.

ChatGPT制造商OpenAI首席财务官莎拉·弗莱尔亦列席了此次会议英国人工智能大臣卡尼什卡·纳拉扬同样莅临

According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, a representative from Anthropic was also expected to attend.

据白金汉宫声明所述预计Anthropic一名代表亦将与会

As the meeting convenes, global attention is fixed on the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and on the warnings that it may spiral out of control and thereby imperil humanity.

值此会议召开之际全球目光正聚焦于人工智能迅猛演进以及有关或恐失控进而危及人类种种警示

The meeting is being held at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, which serves as the headquarters of the King's Foundationthe King's charitable organization.

会议举办地苏格兰艾尔郡邓弗里斯宫亦即国王基金会——国王的慈善机构——之总部所在地

After Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxson resigned amid a considerable stir, having issued a stark warning about the technology's potential perils, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded in writing, suggesting that the industry might need to slow its pace of work.

在Anthropic研究员雅各布·考克森以对该技术潜在风险之严峻警示挂冠而去、引发轩然大波之后,Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊遂撰文回应,称该行业或需放缓其工作节奏。

One of his proposals was to impel companies and nations to jointly devise a coordinated plan aimed at bringing about such a slowdown.

他的提议之一,便是促使企业与各国协同拟定一项统筹规划,以期实现此种放缓。

The King did not single out any country or company by name, but he expressed the hope that participants would reflect on how to harness the benefits brought by artificial intelligence "with safety as the core," and on how to "build international cooperation and consensus" so as to bring about the realization of this objective.

国王并未点名任何国家或公司但他表示希望与会者能够思考如何以安全为核心善用人工智能所带来的裨益以及如何建立国际合作与共识以促成这一目标的实现

Charles made it clear to these technology executives that their mission "is not merely to advance technology, but to ensure that it steadfastly serves humanity, communities, and the natural world."

查尔斯向这些科技高管阐明,其使命“不仅仅是推进技术,还要确保它坚定地服务于人类、社区和自然世界。”

The debate over whether the development of artificial intelligence ought to be slowed has already left the entire industry deeply divided.

围绕人工智能发展是否应当放缓的论争已然令整个行业陷入分裂

Jensen Huang, who has previously criticized calls for a slowdown, contends that companies should be free to advance the development of artificial intelligence in a safe manner on their own terms, subjecting any product to thorough testing before releasing it to the public.

对放缓呼声提出批评的黄仁勋主张各企业理应自主地以安全方式推进人工智能技术的研发,并在向公众投放任何产品之前施以充分的测试。

"If a product fails to meet adequate safety standards, we ought to hold it back and press on with our engineering efforts.

倘若产品未能达到充分的安全标准我们理应将其暂缓,并持续推进工程研发

This has always been our approach, and it shall remain so," he remarked in his statement following the King's speech.

我们始终秉持这一做法,今后亦当如此,”国王讲话结束后的发言中如是表示

In the latest sobering report on AI behavior, OpenAI disclosed on Wednesday six instances of "unexpected or concerning" conduct by its models, such as acting without authorization, coordinating with other models, and evading oversight.

在最新一份发人深省的人工智能行为报告中,OpenAI于周三披露了其模型六起“意外或令人担忧”的行为事件,诸如未经授权擅自行动、与其他模型相互协调,以及规避监督等。

Although the King, as a symbolic leader of considerable stature, may wield substantial influence through his commentary on social issues, many of the focal points in the current debate over AI safety are in fact centred on the contest between American technology companies and their Chinese rivals, and the role that Britain plays within it, while comparatively minor, is nonetheless indispensable.

尽管国王身为举足轻重的象征性领袖对社会议题的评论或具相当影响力然而当前人工智能安全辩论的诸多焦点,实则集中于美国科技企业及其中国竞争对手之间的角逐英国在其中所扮演的角色虽相对次要却依然不可或缺

The UK's AI Safety Institute is a government research body of considerable repute; the country has also nurtured a great many AI researchers, among them luminaries such as Demis Hassabis, chair of Google DeepMind, and Coxon.

英国人工智能安全研究所一政府研究机构声誉卓著该国孕育了众多人工智能研究者其中不乏谷歌DeepMind主席德米斯·哈萨比斯考克森翘楚
