This gathering, held in Scotland, was intended to explore how artificial intelligence can benefit society.

This comes at a pivotal moment for the technology, as debate rages over whether its rapid advances will soon outstrip humanity's ability to control it.

當前正值這項技術的關鍵時刻關於其快速進展是否將很快超出人類控制能力的爭論正甚囂塵上

"The development of artificial intelligenceboth in its nature and its speedis as fascinating as it is deeply concerning," the King said in his opening address.

「人工智慧的發展——無論就其本質還是速度而言——既引人入勝,也同樣令人深感擔憂,」國王在開場致辭中表示。

He pointed out that the existential danger posed by these technologies "falling into the wrong hands and being used in ways that could have catastrophic consequences" urgently demands consideration.

他指出,這些技術「落入壞人之手,並以可能造成災難性後果的方式被使用所帶來的生存危險」,亟需被緊急考慮。

So don't we need to have sufficient means of control before it is too late?

那麼,我們難道不需要在一切為時已晚之前,擁有足夠的控制手段嗎?

The King asked the attendees, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Google DeepMind chairman Demis Hassabis, to examine the "fundamental principles" that should guide the development of artificial intelligence.

國王要求與會者,包括Nvidia執行長黃仁勳和Google DeepMind主席德米斯·哈薩比斯,審視應指導人工智慧發展的「基本原則」。

Sarah Friar, the chief financial officer of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, also attended the meeting, as did the UK's AI minister, Kanishka Narayan.

ChatGPT開發商OpenAI的財務長莎拉·弗萊爾也出席了會議英國人工智慧大臣卡尼什卡·納拉揚同樣與會

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

根據白金漢宮的聲明Anthropic的一名代表也預計將出席

The meeting took place at a time when the world is focused on the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, as well as warnings that it could spiral out of control and threaten humanity.

這次會議召開之際全球正關注人工智慧飛速進展以及可能失控威脅人類警告

The meeting was held at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, which serves as the headquarters of the King's Foundation, the monarch's charitable organization.

After Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxson resigned, citing stern warnings about the technology's potential risks and causing a sensation, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded with an essay, saying that the industry might need to slow down the pace of its work.

在Anthropic研究員雅各布·考克森以對該技術潛在風險的嚴厲警告為由辭職引發轟動之後Anthropic執行長達里奧·阿莫代伊以一篇專文回應該行業可能需要放慢工作步伐

One of his recommendations is that companies and nations should jointly devise a coordinated plan for slowing down.

他的建議之一,是公司和國家共同擬定一項協調一致的放慢計畫

The King did not name any specific country or company, but said he hoped participants would consider how to harness the benefits of artificial intelligence, "with safety at the core," and how to "build international cooperation and consensus" to achieve this goal.

國王未點名任何國家或公司但表示希望與會者思考如何利用人工智慧的好處,「以安全為核心」,以及如何建立國際合作與共識來實現這一目標

Charles told these technology executives that their task was "not only to advance technology, but also to ensure that it firmly serves humanity, communities, and the natural world."

查爾斯告訴這些科技高管他們的任務不僅是推進技術更是確保堅定地服務於人類社區自然世界」。

The debate over whether the development of artificial intelligence should be slowed down has left the industry divided.

關於人工智慧是否應放緩發展的爭論已使該行業陷入分裂

Jensen Huang, who has previously criticised calls for a slowdown, said that companies should develop their AI technology safely on their own and carry out appropriate testing before releasing any product to the public.

曾批評放緩呼籲黃仁勳表示各家公司自行安全地開發人工智慧技術向公眾發布任何產品之前進行適當測試

"When a product isn't safe enough, we should hold off on releasing it and keep improving the engineering. We have always done this, and we should continue to do so," he said in a speech following the King's remarks.

當產品不夠安全時我們應該暫緩推出並繼續改進工程我們一直這樣做也應該繼續這樣做,」他在國王發言後演講中表示。

In its latest report on concerning behaviour in artificial intelligence, OpenAI on Wednesday reported six incidents of "unexpected or worrying" behaviour by its models, such as acting without authorisation, coordinating with other models, and evading oversight.

在最新一份關於人工智慧令人擔憂行為的報告中OpenAI週三通報了其模型出現六起「意外或令人擔憂」的行為事件,例如未經授權行事與其他模型協調以及規避監督

Although the King is an important symbolic figure whose comments on social issues can carry influence, much of the current debate over AI safety centres on American tech companies and their rivalry with Chinese competitors, with Britain playing a smaller but still crucial role.

雖然國王重要的象徵性人物對社會問題的評論可能具有影響力人工智慧安全辯論目前很大一部分集中於美國科技公司及其與中國對手的競爭英國扮演的角色較小但仍然至關重要

The UK's AI Safety Institute, a government research body, is widely acclaimed, and the country has also produced numerous AI researchers, including Google DeepMind chairman Demis Hassabis and Coxon.

英國的人工智慧安全研究所作為一個政府研究機構廣受好評該國亦培育了眾多人工智慧研究人員其中包括Google DeepMind主席德米斯·哈薩比斯考克森
