Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has galvanized Americans who are concerned about the influence of corporate America—including vaccine, pharmaceutical, processed food, and pesticide manufacturers—thereby building a nationwide following.

卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪汇聚了那些对美国企业界——包括疫苗、药品、加工食品和杀虫剂制造商——的影响力感到担忧的美国人的力量,从而建立了一个全国性的追随者群体。

But last week, the leader of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement threw his support behind a seemingly unlikely industry: artificial intelligence.

但上周,这位“让美国再次健康”运动的领导人却支持了一个看似不太可能的行业:人工智能。

At a MAHA summit dominated by artificial intelligence and Silicon Valley executives, Kennedy declared that this technology would free Americans from "medical tyranny" and enable them to "fact-check their own medical advice."

在一场以人工智能和硅谷高管为主角的MAHA峰会上,肯尼迪宣称,这项技术将让美国人摆脱“医疗暴政”,并使他们能够“对自己的医疗建议进行事实核查”。

"We will no longer be at the mercy of officials who tell us to 'trust the experts,'" Kennedy said to the invited audience.

“我们再也不会受那些告诫我们‘要相信专家’的官员摆布了,”肯尼迪对受邀到场的听众说道。

Some prominent MAHA voices quickly criticized Kennedy's embrace of artificial intelligence, claiming that the movement's leaders are increasingly colluding with the corporate interests they once scrutinized.

一些知名的MAHA声音迅速批评肯尼迪对人工智能的拥抱,称该运动的领导人正日益与他们曾经审视的企业利益勾结。

Meanwhile, medical experts point out that Kennedy's vision of artificial intelligence as a means of counterbalancing the healthcare system is fundamentally flawed.

与此同时,医学专家指出,肯尼迪将人工智能视为制衡医疗体制的手段,这一愿景存在根本性缺陷。

"He clearly doesn't understand how artificial intelligence actually works," pointed out Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a cancer specialist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania.

“他显然并不理解人工智能究竟是如何运作的,”宾夕法尼亚大学癌症专家兼生物伦理学家泽克·伊曼纽尔博士指出。

"Artificial intelligence merely consolidates information from the medical literature and case studies we already have.

“人工智能不过是对我们已有的医学文献与病例研究中的信息进行整合。

This means that what you're actually getting is medical expertise."

这意味着,你所获得的实际上是医学专业知识。”

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have launched health-focused chatbots that can analyse users' medical records and answer their questions about healthcare.

OpenAI与Anthropic均推出了以健康为核心的聊天机器人,能够对用户的医疗记录加以分析,并就其医疗保健方面的疑问作出解答。

Such models are trained on thousands of peer-reviewed medical papers and professional guidelines, while also incorporating feedback from doctors.

此类模型依托数千篇经同行评审的医学论文及专业指南进行训练,同时融入了医生的反馈意见。

"He expects AI to replicate the words he has expressed," Emanuel said.

“他期望人工智能能够复刻他所表述的言辞,”伊曼纽尔说道。

"However, excellent AI will not take such an approach."

“然而,卓越的人工智能并不会采取此种做法。”

Emily Hilliard, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, stated that what Emanuel described is merely "a narrow use" of this technology.

美国卫生与公众服务部发言人艾米莉·希利亚德表示,伊曼纽尔所描述的只是这项技术“一种狭隘的用途”。

Hilliard said Kennedy wants to use AI to "help Americans understand and question their own health data, compare it with the evidence, and make better decisions together with their doctors," thereby giving them more control over their health data.

希利亚德表示,肯尼迪希望借助人工智能“帮助美国人理解、质询自己的健康数据,将其与证据进行比较,并与医生一起做出更好的决定”,从而让他们对自己的健康数据拥有更多控制权。

She added that this technology will help doctors work faster, giving them "more time to treat and care for patients."

她补充说,这项技术将帮助医生更快地工作,使他们“有更多时间治疗和照护患者”。

OpenAI and Anthropic were among the sponsors of last week's MAHA summit.

OpenAI和Anthropic是上周MAHA峰会的赞助商之一。

In addition, more than a dozen other companies with pending business before the US government also provided sponsorship, spanning psychedelic drugs, fitness wearables, and the developer of an experimental cancer test.

此外,还有十多家在美国政府有未决业务的公司也提供了赞助,涉及迷幻药物、健身可穿戴设备以及一种实验性癌症检测的开发商。

Sponsors paid fees of up to $300,000 for this, and many also secured speaking slots on panel discussions that featured some of the government's most senior health officials, such as Dr. Mehmet Oz of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

赞助商为此支付了最高30万美元的费用,而许多人还在小组讨论中获得了发言机会,参与讨论的包括政府一些最高卫生官员,如美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心的穆罕默德·奥兹博士。

"This is a classic case of pay-to-play," vaccine researcher Dr. Robert Malone remarked.

“这属于典型的付费参与行为,”疫苗研究员罗伯特·马龙博士如此评价道。

He had previously raised doubts about the safety of mRNA vaccines and recently assumed a position on a federal vaccine panel under Kennedy's leadership.

他此前曾对mRNA疫苗的安全性提出质疑,并且近期在肯尼迪的领导下,于一个联邦疫苗小组中担任职务。

Malone and other figures in the MAHA movement said the summit demonstrated that large corporations are displacing the "MAHA moms" and other grassroots activists who originally drove the movement.

马龙和MAHA运动的其他人物表示,此次峰会表明,大公司正在取代最初推动该运动的“MAHA妈妈们”和其他草根活动人士。

"There is no one representing MAHA and its founding core—neither doctors, nor patients, nor patient advocates," Malone said.

“没有任何代表MAHA及其创建核心的人,无论是医生、患者,还是患者倡导者,”马龙说。

The summit was organized by MAHA Center Inc., one of several non-governmental groups run by Kennedy's allies that are dedicated to advancing his agenda.

此次峰会由MAHA Center Inc.组织,该机构是肯尼迪盟友运营的多个非政府团体之一,这些团体致力于推动其议程。

Other groups include the think tank MAHA Institute and the political fundraising organization MAHA PAC.

其他团体还包括智库MAHA Institute和政治筹款机构MAHA PAC。

At a reception held before the summit, publisher Tony Lyons, who runs MAHA Center, MAHA PAC, and several affiliated groups, responded to criticism regarding corporate sponsorship.

在峰会前的一场招待会上,运营MAHA Center、MAHA PAC及数个相关团体的出版商托尼·莱昂斯就外界对企业赞助的批评作出了回应。

"In fact, we are committed to building a movement as broad as possible, so that we can truly get things done," Lyons said.

“事实上,我们正致力于构建一场规模尽可能宏大的运动,以期真正将事情办成,”莱昂斯如是说。

Kennedy's alliance with Silicon Valley is consistent with the broader efforts of the Trump administration as a whole.

肯尼迪与硅谷的结盟,与特朗普政府整体上更广泛的努力是一致的。

President Donald Trump has fiercely resisted efforts to tighten regulation of artificial intelligence companies, which have helped drive the stock market to record highs.

唐纳德·特朗普总统强烈抵制旨在加强对人工智能公司监管的努力,而这些公司帮助推动股市创下历史新高。

One of Trump's first actions upon returning to the White House was to rescind the Biden administration's executive order on AI regulation.

特朗普重返白宫后的首批行动之一,就是撤销拜登政府关于人工智能监管的行政命令。

It took the administration more than 16 months to replace it with an order of its own.

政府用了超过16个月才用自己的命令取而代之。

In recent weeks, Trump has announced that he will let the AI industry regulate itself, sought to rebrand the technology as "superintelligence," and dismissed bipartisan concerns about the impact of data centers on nearby residents.

近几周,特朗普宣布将让AI行业自行监管,试图把这项技术重新包装为“超级智能”,并对两党就数据中心给附近居民带来的影响所表达的担忧不予理会。

Meanwhile, Dr. Oz and other government officials have been touting artificial intelligence as the answer to a range of American health-care problems, including rising medical costs, health-care fraud, doctor shortages and the closure of rural hospitals.

与此同时,奥兹博士和其他政府官员一直将人工智能吹捧为解决美国一系列健康问题的答案,包括医疗成本上升、医疗欺诈、医生短缺和农村医院关闭。

Medicare officials have been holding discussions with several medical chatbot companies, including the company behind an AI-assisted prescription refill program in Utah.

医疗保险官员一直在与多家医疗聊天机器人公司进行商讨,其中包括犹他州一个提供AI辅助处方续配项目背后的公司。

Glenn Cohen, a bioethics expert at Harvard Law School, said that the remarks made last week by Kennedy and other officials reflect a "techno-utopian" view of the potential benefits of artificial intelligence.

哈佛法学院生物伦理专家格伦·科恩表示,肯尼迪及其他官员上周的言论,反映出对人工智能潜在益处的一种“技术乌托邦式”看法。

Cohen noted that over the past year, a substantial portion of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s agenda has focused on attempting to curb food industry practices he considers harmful to consumers, including the use of artificial colors and undeclared chemical additives.

科恩指出,过去一年里,小罗伯特·肯尼迪议程的很大一部分聚焦于试图遏制他认为对消费者有害的食品行业做法,包括使用人工色素和未申报的化学添加剂。

Given Kennedy's suspicion of "Big Food," Cohen said he was surprised that the health secretary failed to see "the risk that market incentives may diverge from the public interest."

鉴于肯尼迪对“大食品公司”的怀疑,科恩说,他感到惊讶的是,这位卫生部长没有看到“市场激励可能与公共利益背离的风险”。

Some of the most well-known MAHA organizations are actively engaging in efforts against the interests of artificial intelligence.

一些最为人熟知的MAHA组织正积极投身于反对人工智能利益的行动之中。

For instance, "Moms for America" launched a campaign at both the local and national levels, warning about the pollution, water usage, and electricity costs associated with the construction of data centers.

例如,“美国妈妈们”发起了一场地方和全国性的运动,警告与数据中心建设相关的污染、用水和电力成本问题。

The organization was founded by Zeng Honeycutt, who had previously worked on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign.

该组织由曾·霍尼卡特创立,此人曾在小罗伯特·肯尼迪的总统竞选中工作过。

"Moms for America" did not respond to a request for comment.

“美国妈妈们”方面未就置评请求作出回应。

Experts in the field of artificial intelligence do not deny that this technology will fundamentally reshape the way doctors and patients approach medical decisions.

人工智能领域的专家们并不否认,这项技术将从根基上重塑医生与患者处理医疗决策的方式。

Dr. Robert Wachter, a medical technology expert at the University of California, San Francisco, said that Kennedy is right in claiming that artificial intelligence will give patients deeper insights into their own health.

加州大学旧金山分校的医学技术专家罗伯特·瓦赫特博士表示,肯尼迪称人工智能将使患者对自身健康获得更深刻的洞察,这一说法是正确的。

But Wachter pointed out that the use of artificial intelligence may further reinforce the recommendations of medical professionals, rather than the contrarian views that Kennedy often favors.

但瓦赫特指出,人工智能的应用可能会进一步支持医学专业人员的建议,而非肯尼迪常青睐的反主流观点。

"Democratization is a good thing," Wachter said.

“民主化是好事,”瓦赫特说。

"But it means disseminating the best science we have, and that usually means science created by people who know what they're doing."

“但这意味着传播我们所拥有的最佳科学,而这通常意味着由懂行的人创造的科学。”

Experts remain divided over how long it will take before artificial intelligence replaces doctors in decision-making.

专家们对于人工智能究竟需要多久方能取代医生在决策中的角色,意见仍存分歧。

Several recent studies have found that, when it comes to critical decisions, artificial intelligence working on its own outperforms doctors working alone or doctors collaborating with AI.

近期几项研究发现,在关键决策上,仅靠人工智能的表现优于单独工作的医生或医生与人工智能协作。

However, these studies typically present the AI with detailed written problems to solve—the equivalent of a medical examination.

但这些研究通常向人工智能提供详细的书面试题来解决——相当于一场医学考试。

When researchers observed patients interacting with AI in real time, they identified numerous problems: people often failed to provide enough information for the AI to correctly diagnose their medical issues, while chatbots frequently offered mixed advice.

当研究人员实时观察患者与人工智能的互动时,他们发现了许多问题:人们往往没有提供足够的信息,让人工智能无法正确诊断其医疗问题,而聊天机器人往往给出好坏参半的建议。

"We need to clarify in real-life scenarios: do these things actually work effectively?" Wachter stated.

“我们需要在现实生活场景中厘清:这些东西是否确实行之有效?”瓦赫特表示。

"What happens when people are under pressure, or lack the knowledge of how to interpret the output results?"

“当人们身处压力之下,抑或对如何解读输出结果缺乏认知时,实际情形又会如何?”
