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 people and the planet.

木曜日、チャールズ3世国王は、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よう確実にするよう促した。

This gathering, held in Scotland, was convened to discuss how AI might benefit society.

スコットランドで開催されたこの集会はAIが社会にどのように利益をもたらし得るか議論するために招集された

It took place at a pivotal moment for the technology, amid swirling debate over whether rapid advances might soon outstrip humanity's ability to control them.

急速な進歩がまもなく人間の制御能力を超えるのではないかとの議論が渦巻く中この技術にとって極めて重要な瞬間に実施された

In his opening address, the King remarked, "The development of AIboth its nature and its paceis at once equally fascinating and profoundly concerning."

「AIの発展——その本質とその速度——は、同じくらい興味深く、そして深く憂慮すべきものである」と国王は開会の辞で述べた。

The king stated that urgent consideration must be given to "the existential danger that such technology could fall into the hands of malicious actors and be used in potentially devastating ways."

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」を緊急に考慮すべきだと述べた。

"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なのではないだろうか?」

The King urged those in attendance, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Google DeepMind Chairman Demis Hassabis, to consider "fundamental principles" that should guide AI development.

国王は、Nvidiaのジェンスン・フアンCEOやGoogle 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」を検討するよう促した。

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

According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, a representative of Anthropic had also been expected to attend.

バッキンガム宮殿の声明によれば、Anthropicの代表者も出席する予定だった。

The conference convened amid global attention on AI's astonishing advances and warnings that it could spiral out of control and threaten humanity.

AIの驚異的な進歩と、それが制御不能になり人類を脅かす恐れがあるという警告世界の関心が集まる中この会議は開かれた

The venue was Dumfries House, the headquarters of the King's charity, The King's Foundation, located in Ayrshire, Scotland.

会場はスコットランド・エアシャーにある国王の慈善団体「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 Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, resigned with a grave warning about the potential risks of this technology, causing a stir, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded with an essay arguing that the industry may need to slow the pace of its work.

Anthropicの研究者であるジェイコブ・コクソン氏がこの技術の潜在的なリスクについて深刻な警告を残して辞任し波紋を呼んだ後AnthropicのCEOダリオ・アモデイ氏は業界がその作業のペースを減速させる必要があるかもしれないとする論考で応じた

One of his proposals was that companies and nations should work together on a coordinated plan for such a slowdown.

彼の提案の一つは、企業と国家がそうした減速のための協調計画にともに取り組むというものであった。

Without naming any particular countries or companies, the King urged the conference participants to consider how to harness the benefits of AI "while keeping safety at the core," and how to "build international cooperation and consensus" in order to achieve this.

国王は特定の国や企業の名前を挙げ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る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」を検討するよう促した。

King Charles told the technology executives that their mission was "not merely to advance technology, but to ensure that it continues to serve humanity, community, and the natural world."

チャールズ国王は技術幹部たちに対し、彼らの使命は「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、そして自然界に確実に奉仕し続けるようにすることだ」と述べた。

The debate over slowing down AI has divided 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 criticized calls for a slowdown, stated that whether each company develops its AI technology safely and tests it properly before releasing products to the public is left to the discretion of the 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どうか個々の企業の裁量に委ねられていると述べた

In a speech following the King's address, he stated that if a product is not sufficiently safe, they should hold it back and continue engineering, and that they have always done so and should continue to do so going forward.

同氏は国王の挨拶に続く演説で製品が十分に安全でない場合にはそれを差し控え、エンジニアリングを続けるべきであり、常にそうしてきたしこれからもそうし続けるべきだ述べた

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

AIの憂慮すべき挙動に関する最新の報告書でOpenAIは水曜日自社モデルによる「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

These included, for example, acting without permission, coordinating with other models, and evading oversight.

例えば許可なく行動したり他のモデルと連携したり監視を回避したりすることなどである

Although the King is an important titular leader whose remarks on social issues can carry influence, much of the current debate on AI safety revolves around competition between American technology companies and their Chinese rivals, and Britain plays a smaller yet still crucial role.

国王は社会問題に関する発言が影響力を持ち得る重要な名目上の指導者ではあるが現在のAI安全議論の多くは米国のテクノロジー企業中国の競合他社との競争を中心としており英国はより小さいながらも依然として極めて重要な役割を担っている。

The UK's AI Security Institute, a government research body, is highly regarded, and the country has produced many AI researchers, including Demis Hassabis, the chairman of Google DeepMind, and Coxon.

英国の政府研究機関であるAIセキュリティ研究所は高く評価されており同国はGoogle DeepMindの会長デミス・ハサビス氏コクソン氏を含む多くのAI研究者を輩出している
