On Thursday, King Charles III exhorted the senior leaders of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia to ensure that artificial intelligence remains firmly under control and is harnessed for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

國王查爾斯三世於週四敦促OpenAIAnthropicGoogle DeepMindNvidia之高層領導人務須確保人工智慧仍受駕馭,並人類地球之福祉效勞

At this pivotal juncture in the development of artificial intelligence, the gathering convened in Scotland was intended to explore how the technology might benefit society, while the debate over whether its breakneck advances will soon place it beyond human control is only gathering momentum.

值此人工智慧發展的關鍵時刻,這場於蘇格蘭舉行的聚會旨在探討該技術如何裨益社會,而關於其迅猛進展是否旋即將使其超脫人類掌控的論爭,正方興未艾。

"The development of artificial intelligenceits very nature and its paceis at once fascinating and, in equal measure, profoundly disquieting," the King remarked in his opening address.

「人工智慧的發展——其本質與速率——既引人入勝,亦同樣令人深感憂慮,」國王於開場致辭中如是說道。

He stated that the existential risks arising from these technologies "falling into the hands of malefactors and being deployed in ways that threaten catastrophic consequences" warrant urgent consideration.

他說道這些技術落入歹人之手並以恐招致災難性後果之方式被運用所衍生的存續風險」,理當予以迫切審酌

"In that case, do we not urgently need to secure adequate means of control before it is too late?"

「那麼,我們豈非亟需在一切為時已晚之前,掌握充分之控制手段?」

The King charged those in attendanceamong them Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Google DeepMind chairman Demis Hassabiswith carefully deliberating upon the "fundamental principles" that might suffice to guide the development of artificial intelligence.

國王責成與會者——其中包括Nvidia執行長黃仁勳與Google DeepMind主席德米斯·哈薩比斯——審慎思量足資引領人工智慧發展之「基本原則」。

The attendees further included Sarah Friar, the chief financial officer of OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, as well as Kanishka Narayan, the United Kingdom's minister for artificial intelligence; moreover, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace, a representative of Anthropic is also expected to be present among them.

與會者尚包括ChatGPT開發商OpenAI的財務長莎拉·弗萊爾以及英國人工智慧大臣卡尼什卡·納拉揚另據白金漢宮聲明Anthropic的一名代表亦預料將列席其中

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

值此會議召開之際全球目光正聚焦於人工智慧之迅猛演進以及隨之而來關於其恐將失控並危及人類之警示

The conference is being held at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, which serves as the headquarters of the King's Foundation, the charitable organisation established by the monarch.

會議假蘇格蘭艾爾郡鄧弗里斯莊園舉行該處為國王基金會之總部,亦即這位君主所設立之慈善機構

After Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, resigned with a stark warning about the technology's potential risks, setting off a considerable uproar, Dario Amodei, the company's chief executive, responded in writing, saying that the industry might need to slow the pace of its work.

Anthropic研究員雅各布·考克森對該技術潛在風險嚴厲警告掛冠求去掀起軒然大波之後,Anthropic執行長達里奧·阿莫代伊撰文回應該行業或需放緩其工作步伐

One of his recommendations is that corporations and nations ought to collaborate in devising a coordinated slowdown scheme.

他的一項建言是,企業與國家理當協同擘劃一套步調一致的放緩方案。

Although the King did not name any country or company, he expressed a keen hope that the participants would reflect on how to harness the benefits brought by artificial intelligence, "with safety at the core," and on how to "build international cooperation and consensus" in order to accomplish this.

國王雖未指名道姓任何國家或企業惟其表示殷盼與會者思忖如何善用人工智慧所帶來之裨益,「以安全為核心」,以及如何「建立國際合作與共識以竟其功

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."

查爾斯向這些科技高管闡明,其使命「不僅是推進技術,更是確保它堅定地服務於人類、社區和自然世界」。

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

圍繞人工智慧發展是否應當放緩的爭論已然令該行業陷入分裂

Jensen Huang, who has been highly critical of calls for a slowdown, has stated that companies ought to develop their AI technologies in a safe manner of their own accord and subject them to appropriate testing before releasing any product to the public.

曾對放緩呼籲多所批評的黃仁勳表示各家公司理應自行以安全的方式開發其人工智慧技術並於向公眾發布任何產品之前施以適當測試

"If a product fails to meet adequate safety standards, we ought to hold back its release and keep refining the relevant engineering.

倘若產品未能達致充分的安全標準我們理應暫緩其推出,並持續精進相關工程

This is the practice we have always upheld, and one we should continue to follow without fail," he said in his speech after the King's address.

此乃我們一貫秉持的做法,亦當繼續奉行不渝,」在國王發言後的演講中表示

In its latest report focusing on disconcerting conduct in artificial intelligence, OpenAI disclosed on Wednesday that its models had been implicated in six incidents of "unexpected or concerning" behaviour, such as acting autonomously without authorisation, coordinating with other models, and circumventing oversight.

於最新一份聚焦人工智慧令人憂慮行徑之報告中OpenAI於週三披露其模型涉及六起「意外或令人擔憂」之行為事件,諸如未經授權擅自行事與其他模型相互協調以及規避監督等情事。

Although the King, as a figurehead of considerable stature, may wield substantial influence through his commentary on social issues, the overwhelming majority of the current debate on AI safety nonetheless remains centred on the contest between American technology companies and their Chinese rivals, and the role that Britain plays, while comparatively minor, is by no means dispensable.

儘管國王作為舉足輕重的象徵性人物對社會議題的評論或具相當影響力然而當前人工智慧安全論辯的絕大部分仍聚焦於美國科技企業其中國競爭對手之間的角力英國所扮演的角色雖相對次要卻依然不可或缺

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

英國人工智慧安全研究所一政府研究機構聲譽卓著該國孕育了眾多人工智慧研究人才其中包括Google DeepMind主席德米斯·哈薩比斯考克森
