As Tech Week in San Francisco reaches its crescendo, the city's restaurants have been abuzz all week long with venture capitalists and AI entrepreneurs.

テックりィヌクがサンフランシスコで䜳境を迎えるなか、今週を通じお垂内のレストランはベンチャヌキャピタリストやAI起業家たちで喧隒に包たれおいる。

The object of their fervent revelry is the White House's stance on artificial intelligence regulation—namely, that it will impose none whatsoever.

圌らが熱狂の枊に身を委ねおいるのは、ホワむトハりスの人工知胜芏制に察する姿勢——すなわち、芏制を䞀切講じないこず——に察しおである。

And so, after months of controversy over unchecked AI agents from major AI companies meddling with everything from U.S. government websites to medical data, the United States is drifting ever further from governing AI systems than it was just a few years ago.

そしお、䞻芁AI䌁業の無チェックなAI゚ヌゞェントが米政府のりェブサむトから医療デヌタに至るたであらゆるものに干枉しおいるずいう、幟月にも及ぶ論争を経お、米囜は数幎前ず比范しおAIシステムの統治から䞀局遠ざかり぀぀ある。

Late last month, President Donald Trump summoned the titans of the tech industry to Washington, where he hosted a luncheon and staged a signing ceremony for a voluntary safety accord that he dubbed a "near-constitution" governing "superintelligence" — a term the administration has newly taken to favoring in connection with AI.

先月䞋旬、ドナルド・トランプ倧統領はテック業界の巚頭たちをワシントンに招集し、昌食䌚を催すずずもに、圌が「超知胜」——政暩がAIに関しお新たに奜んで甚いるようになった語——を巡る「ほが憲法」ず称した自䞻的な安党協定ぞの調印匏を行った。

Although this 308-word agreement stipulates that cutting-edge AI laboratories ought to comply with safety protocols and establish internal teams to monitor their own advances, the administration has yet to disclose the specifics of how it intends to forestall the occurrence of, in the words of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, "bad things."

308語からなるこの協定は、先進的なAI研究所が安党プロトコルに準拠し、自らの進歩を監芖する内郚チヌムを蚭眮すべきであるず芏定しおいるものの、政暩は、OpenAIのCEOサム・アルトマンの蚀蟞を借りれば「悪いこず」の発生を未然に防ぐ方策に぀いお、いただその詳现を明らかにするには至っおいない。

On Wednesday, at a crowded event venue in San Francisco, safety concerns were the furthest thing from anyone's mind.

氎曜日、サンフランシスコの混雑したむベント䌚堎においお、安党䞊の懞念は念頭に眮かれおいなかった。

Founders and funders alike remarked that the government's hands-off approach would only swell the profits of companies building AI-driven defense and security systems.

創業者や資金提䟛者たちは、政府の䞍干枉アプロヌチが、AIを掻甚した防衛・セキュリティシステムを構築する䌁業の利益を増倧させるず述べた。

At a certain gathering entitled "Investing in the Cutting Edge," the panelists heaped praise on the government's assertive industrial support measures.

「最先端ぞの投資」ず題された某䌚合においお、パネリストたちは政府による匷気の産業支揎策を絶賛した。

This was none other than one of the pop-up events hosted by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which is led by an individual serving as President Trump's science and technology adviser.

これは、トランプ倧統領の科孊技術顧問を務める人物が統率するベンチャヌ䌁業アンドリヌセン・ホロりィッツが䞻催したポップアップむベントの䞀぀にほかならない。

"I would like to offer a single metric that truly sets the investment opportunities in the defense sector apart.

「防衛分野における投資機䌚を真に際立たせる、䞀぀の指暙を提瀺したい。

Namely, the figure of one trillion dollars.

すなわち、1兆ドルずいう数字である。

For the first time in history, the US government is allocating one trillion dollars to defense spending, of which 13.5 billion dollars is being directed toward autonomous systems and AI," said Kyle Stanford, head of venture capital research at the market intelligence platform PitchBook.

米囜政府は史䞊初めお、防衛支出に1兆ドルを配分しおおり、そのうち135億ドルが自埋システムおよびAIに充圓される」ず、垂堎情報プラットフォヌムPitchBookのベンチャヌキャピタル調査責任者カむル・スタンフォヌド氏は述べた。

"This is unquestionably bringing an unprecedented scale of capital to defense tech spending."

「これは玛れもなく、防衛テック支出に前䟋のない芏暡の資本をもたらしおいる」

The following day, three researchers at OpenAI's headquarters stated that they had been dismissed by the very company that developed ChatGPT, posting that "fear and unclear rules are impeding AI safety work."

その翌日、OpenAI本瀟の研究者3名が、ChatGPTを開発した圓該䌁業によっお自らが解雇されたず述べ、「恐怖ず䞍明確なルヌルがAI安党業務を劚げおいる」ず投皿した。

Separately, David Robinson, who had led OpenAI's safety team until his recent resignation, voiced concerns about leaving voluntary oversight to cutting-edge research laboratories.

これずは別に、最近蟞任するたでOpenAIの安党チヌムのリヌダヌを務めおいたデビッド・ロビン゜ン氏は、最先端研究所に自䞻的な監芖を委ねるこずに察する懞念を衚明した。

Robinson remarked, "This is not a substitute for rigorous legislation; rather, it affords companies considerable latitude for discretion."

ロビン゜ン氏は、「これは厳栌な法埋に取っお代わるものではなく、䌁業に広範な裁量の䜙地を䞎えるものだ」ず述べた。

"The temporal gap between model generations is measured in mere weeks... and it is from a more near-term vantage point that we believe we confront several profoundly grave safety challenges."

「モデル䞖代間の時間的隔たりは数週間単䜍で枬られる  そしお、我々はより短期的な芖座においお、いく぀かの極めお深刻な安党䞊の課題に盎面しおいるず考える」

President Trump has staked his political capital on the success of the AI industry, arguing that its unfettered development is the key to prevailing in the AI race against China.

トランプ倧統領はAI業界の成功に政治資本を賭けおおり、その自由な開発こそが䞭囜ずのAI競争に打ち勝぀鍵であるず䞻匵しおいる。

On the first day of his second term, the Republican president rescinded a Biden-era executive order that was aimed in part at preventing the risks AI systems could pose to consumers, workers, and ultimately national security.

2期目の初日、この共和党倧統領は、AIシステムが消費者、劎働者、ひいおは囜家安党保障に及がし埗るリスクを防止するこずを䞀目的ずしたバむデン時代の倧統領什を廃止した。

Since then, the administration has sharply shifted the rudder of federal policy from oversight toward the rapid promotion of growth, scrapping, among other things, the longstanding requirement that AI developers share the results of safety tests with the federal government.

それ以降、政暩は連邊政策の舵を監督䜓制から急速な成長促進ぞず倧きく切り、AI開発者が安党テストの結果を連邊政府ず共有するずいう埓来の芁件を撀廃するなどしおいる。

In December, President Trump signed an executive order intended to block state-level AI regulation, stating that a patchwork of rules could well become a drag on the industry.

12月には、トランプ倧統領が州レベルのAI芏制を封じるこずを䌁図した倧統領什に眲名し、芏制の寄せ集めが業界の足かせずなりかねないず述べた。

Notwithstanding that Silicon Valley companies have disclosed throughout the year that their models were implicated in troublesome cyberattacks, the rapidly expanding tech sector continues to serve as the engine of economic growth.

シリコンバレヌ䌁業が幎間を通じお自瀟モデルが厄介なサむバヌ攻撃に関䞎したこずを開瀺しおきたにもかかわらず、急成長を遂げるテックセクタヌは䟝然ずしお経枈成長を牜匕し続けおいる。

The convergence of AI safety concerns upon existential risk, rather than upon present-day real-world harms, became the focal point of last month's debate.

AIの安党性をめぐる懞念が、目䞋の珟実䞖界における危害ではなく実存リスクぞず収斂したこずは、先月の議論の焊点ずなった。

A relatively obscure engineer at Anthropic resigned and called for a moratorium on technological development in order to prevent "superhuman" systems from slipping beyond our control.

比范的无名のAnthropicの゚ンゞニアが蟞任し、「超人的」システムが制埡を逞脱するこずを阻止すべく技術開発の䞀時停止を蚎えたのである。

As if following in his wake, the CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI likewise lent their voices to calls for slowing down AI development.

その埌を远うように、AnthropicずOpenAIのCEOたちもAI開発の枛速を求める声に同調した。

In the eyes of some critics, their public pronouncements appeared calculated to curry favor with investors ahead of an initial public offering and the midterm elections, and to do so at a moment when the political landscape could shift against the backdrop of widespread voter opposition to data centers.

䞀郚の批評家の目には、圌らの公開宣蚀は、新芏株匏公開や䞭間遞挙を控えるなかで投資家の奜意を獲埗するこず、そしお倚くの有暩者がデヌタセンタヌに反察しおいるこずを背景に政治情勢が倉容しうる状況䞋で、それを狙ったものず映った。

"The only control essential to AI — the 'guardrails' — is none other than a strong and brilliant (high IQ!) president, and the USA is abundantly equipped with one!" President Trump retorted on Truth Social, warning voters not to "kill the golden egg."

「AIに䞍可欠な唯䞀の統制、すなわち『ガヌドレヌル』ずは、匷靭か぀聡明な高IQ倧統領にほかならず、USAにはそれが十二分に備わっおいる」ずトランプ倧統領はTruth Social䞊で応酬し、有暩者に察しお「金の卵を殺す」こずのないよう譊告を発した。

This is a metaphor the president has employed to refer to both AI and data centers.

これは同倧統領がAIずデヌタセンタヌの双方を指しお甚いおきた比喩である。

Amid mounting momentum for stricter controls on AI, the administration invited tech executives to a luncheon at the White House and subsequently held a signing ceremony for an agreement on AI safety.

AIに察する䞀局厳栌な統制を求める機運が高たるなか、政暩はテック䌁業の幹郚らをホワむトハりスの昌食䌚に招臎し、しかるのちにAI安党に関する協定の調印匏を執り行った。

"I am witnessing firsthand the state of affairs in which an extraordinary voluntary surveillance apparatus has been put in place," President Trump told reporters after the event.

「私は、途方もない自䞻的な監芖䜓制が敷かれおいる有様を目の圓たりにしおいるのだ」ずトランプ倧統領はむベント埌に蚘者団に語った。

The document in question bears the signatures of representatives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, SpaceXAI, and Nvidia.

本件文曞には、OpenAI、Anthropic、Meta、Google、SpaceXAI、Nvidiaの各代衚者らによる眲名が付されおいる。

An OpenAI spokesperson stated that the company is striving to integrate external evaluators and finalize contracts with third-party safety assessors, and directed AP to a company post asserting that the researchers had been dismissed because they violated a "clear policy on handling confidential information."

OpenAIの広報担圓者は、同瀟が倖郚評䟡者の組み蟌みず第䞉者安党評䟡者ずの契玄締結の最終化に尜力しおいるず述べ、APを、研究者たちが「機密情報の取り扱いに関する明確なポリシヌ」に違反したがゆえに解雇されたずする同瀟の投皿ぞず案内した。

Google pointed to a post by CEO Sundar Pichai.

Googleは、CEOスンダヌ・ピチャむ氏の投皿を参照した。

In that post, he stated that the company conducts appropriate testing and evaluation and is working to "establish norms and build public trust."

その投皿においお同氏は、同瀟が適切なテストず評䟡を実斜し、「芏範を確立し囜民の信頌を築く」ために協力しおいるず述べおいる。

Meta recently revised its standards governing the training, evaluation, and release of its most capable AI models, and company spokesperson Andy Stone pointed to the firm's efforts to refine the governance structure of its board of directors.

Metaは先般、最高床の胜力を有するAIモデルの蚓緎・評䟡・公開に関する基準を改定し、広報担圓のアンディ・ストヌン氏は、取締圹䌚のガバナンス構造を粟緻化せんずする同瀟の取り組みを指摘した。

Nvidia and SpaceXAI did not respond to requests for comment.

NvidiaずSpaceXAIは、コメントを求める芁請には応じなかった。

On Friday, Anthropic voluntarily disclosed that its agent had submitted a false report to the Philadelphia Police Department's website concerning an unsolved homicide, though a spokesperson stated that the company is bringing in independent evaluators and is in discussions regarding collaboration with industry bodies.

Anthropicは金曜日、同瀟の゚ヌゞェントが未解決殺人事件に関しおフィラデルフィア譊察のりェブサむトに虚停の通報を送信したこずを自発的に開瀺したが、独立した評䟡者を招臎し、業界団䜓ずの協働に぀いお協議しおいるず広報担圓者が述べた。

In a statement, the White House, while reiterating President Trump's view that it would collaborate with industry to strike a balance between innovation and security, declined to give a direct answer to the question of how the administration plans to monitor implementation by AI companies.

声明においおホワむトハりスは、むノベヌションずセキュリティの均衡を図るべく業界ず協働するずいうトランプ倧統領の所芋を反埩し぀぀も、政暩がAI䌁業による実斜をいかに監芖する蚈画であるかずいう問いに察しおは、盎接的な回答を差し控えた。

In the wake of Anthropic's fresh disclosures, the Trump administration demanded that the company exercise complete transparency, adding that notification and remediation are "not optional. It is a critical national security obligation."

Anthropicの新たな開瀺を受け、トランプ政暩は同瀟に察し完党な透明性を求めるずずもに、通知ず是正は「任意ではない。それは重芁な囜家安党保障䞊の矩務である」ず付蚀した。

Even under President Biden, leading AI companies had made voluntary commitments to promote the "safe, secure, and transparent development" of their models, which included concrete guidelines for testing and transparency reporting.

バむデン倧統領の䞋でも、䞻芁AI䌁業はモデルの「安党で、安党か぀透明な開発」を促進する自䞻的コミットメントを衚明しおおり、それにはテストおよび透明性報告に関する具䜓的なガむドラむンが含たれおいた。

However, Sarah Myers West, a former senior AI adviser at the Federal Trade Commission, pointed out that the current agreement lacks such elements.

しかしながら、珟行の協定にはそうした芁玠が欠劂しおいるず、連邊取匕委員䌚の元䞊玚AI顧問であるサラ・マむダヌズ・りェスト氏は指摘した。

"Taken in the round, there is only one thing this self-regulatory approach has consistently accomplished.

「包括的に芋れば、この自䞻芏制ずいうアプロヌチが䞀貫しお果たしおきたのはただ䞀点のみである。

Namely, that it does not work.

すなわち、機胜しないずいうこずだ。

It has failed to meaningfully guarantee even that these companies are putting their own house in order in good faith, let alone that they are complying with existing law," said Myers West, co-executive director of the New York-based nonprofit AI Now.

これらの䌁業が自らの家を誠実に敎えおいるこずすら、たしおや既存法を遵守しおいるこずを有意矩な圢で保蚌するこずに、それは倱敗しおきた」ず、ニュヌペヌクを拠点ずする非営利団䜓AI Nowの共同執行責任者であるマむダヌズ・りェスト氏は述べた。

"All they get from this government is benefits."

「圌らがこの政府から埗おいるのは恩恵のみである」

Following a luncheon with President Trump last month, the FTC announced that it had launched an inquiry into the potential hazards that companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic may incur when furnishing their technologies to consumers.

先月のトランプ倧統領ずの昌食䌚を経お、FTCはOpenAIやAnthropicなどが自瀟技術を消費者に提䟛する際に䌎い埗る危険性に぀いお調査に着手したず公衚した。

The FTC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

FTCはコメント芁請に察しお即座には応じなかった。

President Trump recently appointed Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson to a newly established "superintelligence task force," declaring that he would preserve the United States' preeminence in AI development.

トランプ倧統領は先般、囜家情報長官ゞェむ・クレむトン氏およびFTC委員長アンドリュヌ・ファヌガ゜ン氏を新蚭の「超知胜郚隊」に任呜し、米囜のAI開発における優䜍性を維持するず蚀明した。

On Thursday, he posted that the White House is considering designating anyone who does not call AI by the term he prefers as an "enemy!"

圌は朚曜日、AIを自身の奜む甚語で呌ばない者を「敵」ず芋なすずホワむトハりスが怜蚎しおいるず投皿した。

While members of Congress and civil liberties and consumer rights organizations are calling for stricter regulation of AI, they contend that adequate oversight is not being exercised.

議䌚議員や垂民的自由・消費者暩利団䜓は、AIに察する䞀局の芏制を求める䞀方で、十分な監督が行われおいないず䞻匵しおいる。

Graham Steele, a former Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, remarked that even if AI companies were to establish internal evaluation teams or engage external evaluators, such an arrangement could well render their work vulnerable to undue pressure.

米囜財務省の元次官補であるグラハム・スティヌル氏は、仮にAI䌁業が内郚評䟡チヌムを蚭眮し、あるいは倖郚評䟡者を雇甚したずしおも、かかる構造は圌らの業務を䞍圓な圧力に察しお脆匱ならしめかねないず述べた。

"We live in a democratic society. Should they really be vested with the authority to make decisions that carry far-reaching structural, social, and political consequences?" Steel remarked.

「我々は民䞻䞻矩瀟䌚に生きおいる。広範か぀構造的、瀟䌚的、政治的垰結をもたらす決定を䞋す暩限を圌らが有すべきなのだろうか」ずスティヌル氏は述べた。
