Speaking at the "Goalkeepers" gathering hosted by his foundation, Bill Gates pointed out that "increasing generosity" and "using AI wisely" are mutually reinforcing and can accelerate the fight against inequality; he urged the world's wealthiest nations to expand international aid and to apply artificial intelligence to what he identified as "life-saving innovations."

比尔·盖茨在其基金会主办的“目标守卫者”聚会上指出,“增加慷慨”与“明智使用AI”二者相辅相成,可加速对抗不平等的斗争;他敦促全球最富有的国家扩大国际援助,并将人工智能应用于他所认定的“拯救生命的创新”。

"We have neither managed to construct a properly grounded system of human values, nor have we succeeded in making our moral precepts exert any effective restraint on the behaviour of these artificial intelligences," said Gates, the foundation's chairman, on Monday at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, in conversation with the political commentator Van Jones.

“我们既未能构筑起合乎正轨的人类价值体系,亦未能令我们的道德律令对这些人工智能的行为施以有效约束,”基金会主席盖茨于周一在纽约林肯中心爵士乐厅与政治评论员范·琼斯对话时如是说道。

The Gates Foundation's annual event is customarily held to coincide with the United Nations High-Level Meeting, and this year's opening remarks sounded a stark alarm bell for the world: last year, 26 of the globe's 34 wealthiest nations slashed their development assistance to poorer countries.

盖茨基金会的年度活动惯常与联合国高级别会议同期举行而今年的开场白向世人敲响警钟去年全球34个最富裕国家中有26个削减了对较贫穷国家的发展援助

At the same time, the United Nations likewise issued a warning, declaring that progress toward its Sustainable Development Goalsthat ambitious vision of reducing poverty, improving health, and protecting the environment by 2030has been "slow and uneven."

与此同时联合国方面亦发出警示其可持续发展目标——即到2030年减少贫困改善健康与保护环境的宏伟愿景——之推进缓慢且不均衡”。

This contraction coincides with what Gates hints at as "some of the best innovations we've ever had for improving people's lives."

这种收缩恰逢盖茨所暗示的我们拥有一些有史以来最好的改善人们生活的创新”之际。

During the two-hour event, his foundation devoted the bulk of its time to honoring educators, farmers, and health workers who leverage AI to identify students' learning gaps, combat pests, and retrieve patient medical records more efficiently.

在长达两小时的活动中他的基金会将大部分时间用于表彰那些借助AI识别学生学习差距抗击虫害以及更高效地调取患者医疗记录教育工作者农民和卫生工作者。

The Gates Foundation also promoted its recently formed coalition, which brings together Anthropic, Google, the OpenAI Foundation, and dozens of other organizations, dedicated to advancing broader accessibility of AI in underrepresented languages.

盖茨基金会亦为其新近组建的联盟进行了宣传,该联盟汇聚了Anthropic、谷歌、OpenAI基金会以及其他数十家组织,矢志于推动AI在代表性不足的语言中实现更广泛的可及性。

According to an announcement released on Monday, the aforementioned partners60 in allencompass frontier AI laboratories, corporations, philanthropic institutions, and other organizations dedicated to broadening the range of languages that AI tools are capable of supporting.

根据周一发布的公告上述合作伙伴——凡60家——涵盖前沿AI实验室企业慈善机构及其他致力于拓展AI工具所支持语言种类的组织。

The Gates Foundation contends that such tools can serve as a potent instrument for eradicating global inequality.

盖茨基金会主张此类工具堪为消弭全球不平等之利器

The coalition aspires, within five years, to benefit more than three billion people by coordinating existing efforts more effectively.

该联盟力求于五年内通过更有效地统筹既有工作使逾30亿人受益

Mark Suzman, the CEO of the Gates Foundation, asserted that this endeavor must proceed "at full speed," even though several of the largest AI companies are urging the industry to slow the pace of developing advanced models.

盖茨基金会首席执行官马克·苏兹曼断言此项工作务必“全速前进”,纵然若干规模最为庞大的AI企业正敦促本行业放缓先进模型的研发步伐

He went on to point out that governments must implement regulation regarding impacts on cybersecurity or child development, while at the same time extending the humanitarian applications of AI to impoverished communities that have hitherto been "shut out" by technology.

他继而指出政府必须网络安全儿童发展方面的影响实施监管与此同时AI的人道主义应用拓展至那些迄今仍被技术拒之门外的贫困社区

"Even if AI were to stall right nowa scenario I neither anticipate nor advocatewe would still be committed to building these language datasets and ensuring that they can function in tandem with the tools currently at our disposal," Suzman stated.

“即便AI当下处于停滞状态——我既不预期亦不呼吁此种情形——我们仍将致力于构建这些语言数据集,并确保其能够与我们目前所掌握的工具协同运作,”苏兹曼表示。

This collaboration comes hot on the heels of last week's Goalkeepers report, in which the foundation pledged $1 billion earmarked for a suite of AI-centred initiatives designed to improve health outcomes, upgrade educational tools, and inform the farming practices of smallholders around the world.

此次合作紧承上周发布的《目标守卫者》报告——该基金会已承诺投入10亿美元专项用于以人工智能为核心的一系列举措,旨在改善健康结果升级教育工具并为世界各地小农的耕作实践提供信息支持

The report cautioned that unrepresentative language data could lead a model to mistranslate a Malawian pregnant woman's statement that her "waters had broken" into the literal English rendering that she had "thrown away the water."

该报告警示缺乏代表性的语言数据可能导致模型一名马拉维孕妇所述的“羊水破了”误译为直白的英语表述“把水扔掉了”

E.M. Lewis-Jones, chief executive of the Mozilla Data Collective, points out that the "original sin" stems from the fact that a great many AI tools are trained on language data scraped from the internet.

Mozilla数据集体首席执行官E.M.刘易斯-琼指出“原罪”肇因于众多AI工具乃依托自互联网抓取的语言数据加以训练。

Her company was incubated by the Mozilla Foundation and now operates as a subsidiary of the nonprofit organization Mozilla.org.

其公司由Mozilla基金会孵化现为非营利组织Mozilla.org的子公司

The data-sharing platform is designed to empower communities to upload cultural and linguistic datasets on their own terms, rather than having such data harvested from the web without explicit consent.

该数据共享平台旨在赋能社区依循自身条件上传文化与语言数据集而非在未经明确同意的情况下从网络上攫取这些数据

"The internet is not a representative space," she said.

互联网并非一个具有代表性的空间,”她说道

"What makes you think you can obtain a culturally diverse and representative system from a product trained primarily on Reddit?"

何以认为,能够从一个主要基于Reddit训练而成的产物中,获得一个文化多元具备代表性的系统?”

According to Suzman, the finer points of the coalition, including its governance structure, are still being finalised.

据苏兹曼所述该联盟治理架构等诸般细节尚在敲定之中

A secretariat will be tasked with tracking signatories' fulfilment of their commitments, while the Gates Foundation may, where necessary, press partners to close more conspicuous gaps.

一个秘书处将负责追踪各签署方承诺履行情况而盖茨基金会则可能在必要时敦促合作伙伴填补更为显著的缺口

Google, a member of the coalition, has consistently been funding an effort aimed at collecting over 150,000 hours of audio across various regions of India.

作为该联盟成员的谷歌始终在为一项旨在印度各地区采集逾15万小时音频的努力提供资助。

James Manyika, a senior vice president at Google, pointed out that this initiative, named "Project Vaani," underscores the urgency of collecting speech data for the various dialects within a language.

谷歌高级副总裁詹姆斯·马尼卡指出这项名为“Project Vaani”的倡议凸显了采集语言内部各方言语音数据的迫切性

According to him, to pursue this goal, Google is collaborating with local partners to carry out on-the-ground voice recording work.

据他所述为践行这一目标谷歌正携手当地合作伙伴于实地开展语音录制工作

Anthropic's chief executive once penned an article calling upon the entire industry to collaborate in order to slow the pace of technological advancement, yet the company itself has already joined forces with foundations to accelerate vaccine development and to enrich its chatbot's datasets concerning indigenous crops.

Anthropic的首席执行官曾撰文吁请全行业通力协作以延缓技术演进之步伐而该公司本身却已携手基金会致力于加速疫苗研发进程并充实其聊天机器人关于本土农作物的数据集

Elizabeth Kelly, who heads beneficial deployment at Anthropic, candidly acknowledged that the company's products "lag particularly when it comes to numerous African languages."

Anthropic有益部署事务负责人伊丽莎白·凯利坦承该公司的产品尤其在诸多非洲语言方面表现滞后”。

She candidly told the Associated Press: "We are acutely aware that unless we genuinely surmount the barrier of language, whatever benefits we aspire to realisebe it improving patient outcomes or enhancing literacy and numeracy among students worldwidewill prove to be nothing more than a mirage."

向美联社坦言:“我们深知倘若无法切实攻克语言这一关隘那么无论我们冀望达成何种裨益——无论是改善患者预后还是提升全球学生的识字与算术能力——都将是镜花水月。”
