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

チャールズ3世国王は木曜日、OpenAI、Anthropic、Google DeepMind、Nvidiaの上級指導者たちに対し、人工知能が制御下に保たれ、人々と地球のために奉仕し続けることを確実ならしめるよう促した。

Convened in Scotland to deliberate on how AI might confer benefits upon society, this gathering took place at a moment of singular importance for such technology, amid swirling debate over whether its breakneck advances might soon outstrip humanity's capacity to control it.

スコットランドで催されたこの集会はAIがいかにして社会に便益をもたらし得るかを討議すべく招集され、その急速な進歩が間もなく人間の制御能力を凌駕するのではないかとの議論が渦巻く中斯かる技術にとって極めて枢要な瞬間に開催された

The development of AIboth in its essence and in its velocityis a matter that inspires equal measures of fascination and profound disquiet,” the King remarked in his opening address.

「AIの発展——その本質とその速度——は、等しく興味深くかつ深甚なる憂慮を抱かせるものである」国王は開会の辞で述べた

The same king stated that "the existential danger that such technology might fall into the hands of ill-intentioned individuals and be used in potentially catastrophic ways" must be urgently taken into consideration.

同国王は、「そうした技術が悪意ある者の手に渡り、潜在的に壊滅的な方法で使用されるという実存的な危険」が緊急に考慮されるべきだと述べた。

"If that is the case, then surely adequate means of control are needed before it is too late?"

「ならば、手遅れになる前に、十分な制御手段が必要ではないだろうか?」

The King urged the attendees, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Google DeepMind Chairman Demis Hassabis, to deliberate on a set of "fundamental principles" that ought to guide AI development.

国王はNvidiaのジェンスン・フアンCEOGoogle DeepMindのデミス・ハサビス会長を含む出席者たちに対しAI開発を導くべき「基本原則」の検討を促した。

Sarah Friar, the chief financial officer of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, likewise attended the meeting alongside Kanishka Narayan, the UK's minister for AI.

ChatGPTの開発元であるOpenAIの最高財務責任者サラ・フライアー氏もまた、英国のAI担当大臣カニシュカ・ナラヤン氏と同席して会議に臨んだ

According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, representatives of Anthropic were also scheduled to be present.

バッキンガム宮殿の声明によれば、Anthropicの代表者らも出席する運びであった。

The conference convened at a time when the world's attention was riveted by AI's astonishing advances and by warnings that it could spiral beyond control and imperil humanity.

AIの驚異的な進歩と、それが制御不能に陥り人類を脅かしかねないという警告世界の耳目が集まるなかこの会議は開催された

The venue was Dumfries House, headquarters of the King's charitable organisation The King's Foundation, situated in Ayrshire, Scotland.

その会場は、スコットランド・エアシャーに位置する国王の慈善団体「ザ・キングス・ファウンデーション」の本部ダンフリーズ・ハウスであった

After Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned with a grave warning about the latent risks inherent in this technology, setting off a considerable stir, the company's CEO, Dario Amodei, responded with an essay suggesting that the industry may need to slacken the pace of its development efforts.

Anthropicの研究者ジェイコブ・コクソン氏がこの技術に潜む潜在的リスクに関し深刻な警告を遺して辞任し一大波紋を巻き起こしたことを受け同社CEOダリオ・アモデイ氏は業界がその開発作業の歩調を緩める必要があるやもしれぬとする論考をもって応じた

One of his proposals was that corporations and nations ought to join forces in working toward a collaborative framework for such a slowdown.

彼の提言のうちの一つは、企業と国家が斯かる減速に向けた協調的枠組みに相携えて取り組むべきであるというものであった。

Without naming any particular country or company, the King told the conference participants that he wished them to consider how the benefits of AI should be harnessed "with safety placed at the core," and how, in order to bring this about, "international cooperation and consensus" might be built.

国王は特定の国や企業を名指しすることなく会議の参加者に対し「安全を中心に据えつつ」AIの恩恵をいかに活用すべきか、そしてそれを実現するためにいかに「国際協力とコンセンサスを構築するか」検討されたいと述べた

King Charles exhorted the technology executives that their mission consists not merely in advancing technology, but in ensuring that it continues to serve humanity, community, and the natural world with unwavering sincerity.

チャールズ国王は技術幹部たちに対し彼らの使命とは単に技術を進歩させることにとどまらず、それが人類共同体そして自然界に絶えず真摯に寄与し続けることを確実ならしめることにある」と説いた

The debate over slowing down AI has split the industry in two.

AIの減速をめぐる議論業界を二分している。

Mr. Huang, who has been critical of calls for a slowdown, stated that whether to develop one's own AI technology safely and test it appropriately before releasing products to the public is left to the discretion of each individual company.

減速の呼びかけを批判してきたフアン氏は、自社のAI技術を安全に開発し製品を一般公開する前に適切にテストするか否かは、個々の企業の裁量に委ねられていると述べた

In his address following the King's greeting, he stated, "Should a product be judged to have inadequate safety, we ought to withhold it and continue our engineering efforts.

同氏は国王の挨拶に続く演説において、「製品の安全性が不十分であると判断される場合には、我々はその製品を差し控え、エンジニアリングを継続すべきである。

We have always done so, and we ought to continue doing so henceforth."

我々は常にそうしてきたし、今後もそうし続けるべきである」と述べた。

In its latest report on alarming AI behaviour, OpenAI on Wednesday documented six instances of "unexpected or concerning" conduct exhibited by its own models.

AIの憂慮すべき挙動に関する最新の報告書においてOpenAIは水曜日自社モデルが引き起こした「予期せぬ、あるいは懸念される」行動の6件の事例を報告した

Examples include acting without authorisation, colluding with other models, and evading oversight.

その例として許可なく行動すること他のモデルと連携すること監視を回避することなどが挙げられる

Although the monarch is a highly significant figurehead whose pronouncements on social issues can carry considerable weight, the bulk of the current debate over AI safety revolves around the contest between American technology companies and their Chinese rivals, with the United Kingdom playing a smaller yet still absolutely pivotal role.

国王は社会問題に関する発言が影響力を持ち得る極めて重要な名目上の指導者ではあるものの現在のAI安全をめぐる議論の大半は、米国のテクノロジー企業中国の競合他社との角逐を軸として展開されており英国はより小規模ながらも依然としてきわめて枢要な役割を担っている

The AI Security Institute, a British government-affiliated research body, has established an exceptionally high reputation, and the country has come to produce a great many AI researchers, among them Demis Hassabis, the chairman of Google DeepMind, and Coxon.

英国の政府系研究機関たるAIセキュリティ研究所は極めて高い評価を確立しており同国はGoogle DeepMind会長デミス・ハサビス氏コクソン氏をはじめとする多数のAI研究者を輩出するに至っている
