奥斯汀,9月25日:Anthropic的投资者、科技公司Palantir的联合创始人乔·朗斯代尔(Joe Lonsdale)周五表示,一些领先的人工智能公司警告人工智能带来生存风险的努力,无异于一种企图塑造公共政策的危险行为。
AUSTIN, Sept 25 : Joe Lonsdale, an investor in Anthropic and the co-founder of technology company Palantir, said on Friday that efforts by some leading artificial intelligence companies to warn of existential risks from AI amounted to a dangerous attempt to shape public policy.
同时也是风险投资公司8VC创始人的朗斯代尔批评了他所说的接近Anthropic以及OpenAI的人士资助外部团体倡导更严格人工智能监管的行为,他认为这可能帮助少数几家领先公司制定规范该行业的规则并巩固其市场权力。
Lonsdale, also founder of venture capital firm 8VC, criticized what he described as efforts by people close to Anthropic and at OpenAI to fund outside groups advocating stronger AI regulation, which he argued could help a small number of leading companies shape the rules governing the industry and entrench their market power.
朗斯代尔在路透社奥斯汀“势能人工智能”(Momentum AI)活动上表示:“我认为OpenAI和Anthropic目前正在推动的事情非常危险,我们不希望看到一个寡头垄断集团在这里控制我们与政府的所有政策。”
"I think that what OpenAI and Anthropic are pushing right now is very dangerous, and we don't want an oligopoly that controls all of our policy here with the government," Lonsdale said at the Reuters Momentum AI Austin event.
“安全是真实存在的,但对于恐惧和监管——我们在应对这些事情时必须非常小心。”Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊(Dario Amodei)、OpenAI首席执行官山姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)以及领导SpaceX的埃隆·马斯克本月都呼吁领先的人工智能公司放慢其最先进模型的开发步伐,并警告称,如果安全防范措施跟不上发展,日益强大的系统可能会对人类构成生存威胁。
"Safety is a real thing, but fear and regulation — we've got to be really careful how we respond to those things." Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who heads SpaceX, have all this month called for leading AI companies to slow the pace of development of their most advanced models, warning that increasingly powerful systems could pose existential risks to humanity if safeguards fail to keep pace. Lonsdale, 44, tempered his criticism with praise for Amodei and Anthropic, in which he is a small investor, saying the company had assembled exceptional talent and emerged as a leader in the AI race.
现年44岁的朗斯代尔在批评的同时也对阿莫代伊和他作为小股东的Anthropic进行了赞扬,称该公司汇聚了杰出的人才,并已成为人工智能竞赛中的佼佼者。
"It's very hard for anyone to second-guess the highest-performing company in the world over the last few years," Lonsdale said. "I'm proud to be an investor in Anthropic." POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN DEALS Lonsdale, who has backed defense technology firms including Anduril, said some of these companies will likely buy some Ukrainian defense companies.
朗斯代尔说:“任何人要想对过去几年全球表现最顶尖的公司说三道四都是非常困难的。我很荣幸能成为Anthropic的投资者。”潜在的乌克兰交易 曾支持Anduril等国防科技公司的朗斯代尔表示,其中一些公司很可能会收购一些乌克兰的国防企业。
Ukrainian drone and defense technology firms had made rapid advances by continuously adapting battlefield systems during Russia's more than four year war, he said, adding that he sees opportunities for deeper partnerships and potential acquisitions.
他表示,乌克兰的无人机和国防技术企业在俄罗斯持续四年多的战争中,通过不断调整战场系统取得了快速进展,并指出他看到了深化合作及潜在收购的机会。
"We're partnering very closely with them. A lot of our companies work with their companies," Lonsdale said. "A lot of our companies are likely to buy some of the companies over there." AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS AND DEFENSE Lonsdale said that while AI-powered autonomous weapons are the future of warfare, accountability must remain with military leaders.
“我们与他们保持着非常紧密的合作。我们的许多公司都在与他们的公司开展业务,”朗斯代尔说。“我们的许多公司很可能会收购那边的一些企业。”自主武器与国防朗斯代尔表示,尽管人工智能驱动的自主武器是未来战争的方向,但责任必须始终由军事领导人承担。
The issue has taken on greater urgency in Ukraine, where drones and increasingly automated systems are central to combat.
在乌克兰,无人机和日益自动化的系统在战斗中占据核心地位,这一问题因此变得更加紧迫。
It was also highlighted in the US-Iran war early this year, when a strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, killed more than 175 children and teachers, according to Iranian officials. Reuters reported that a preliminary US military investigation found US forces were likely responsible, and pointed to outdated intelligence used in the targeting process.
今年早些时候的美伊冲突也凸显了这一点。据伊朗官员称,对伊朗米纳布一所女子学校的袭击导致175多名儿童和教师死亡。路透社报道称,美军初步调查发现,美军很可能对此负责,并指出目标锁定过程中使用了过时的情报。

“总有一个负责的人,他们研究、参与并批准了所使用的系统,”朗斯代尔说。“当你不在战争的迷雾中时,从外部评判这些事情非常容易。”五角大楼人事动荡近几个月来,朗斯代尔被提及为五角大楼高级领导职位的潜在候选人。当被问及如果受邀是否会任职时,他表示他的优先事项是家庭和事业。
"There's always a person responsible who is in charge of whatever system they studied, worked on and approved," Lonsdale said. "It's very easy from the outside to judge these things when you're not there in the fog of war." PENTAGON SHAKEUP Lonsdale has been mentioned in recent months as a potential candidate for a senior Pentagon leadership role. Asked whether he would serve if asked, he said his priority was his family and businesses.
“显然,如果总统打电话给你并提出要求,你应该予以考虑。但我目前的重点是发展我的企业和社区。”
"Obviously, if a President calls you and asks something of you, you should consider it. But my focus right now is on building my businesses and my community." The Pentagon has faced significant leadership turmoil recently, with several high-profile departures among its senior ranks. Reuters reported this month that the White House had reviewed potential replacements for Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg.
