微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨在 NBC 周日播出的采访中，呼吁对强大的人工智能系统实施强制监控。
The Microsoft co-founder called for mandatory monitoring of powerful artificial intelligence systems in an NBC interview that aired Sunday.
随着立法者讨论如何监管人工智能带来的风险，盖茨表示，仅要求人工智能具备“关闭开关”并不足以防止人们利用这项技术发动袭击。
Bill Gates said that requiring a “kill switch” alone for artificial intelligence would not be enough to prevent people from using the technology to carry out attacks as lawmakers debate how to regulate AI’s risks.
这位微软联合创始人周日接受了 NBC《 Meet the Press》节目的采访。他说：“‘关闭开关’这个东西有点奇怪。仅仅有一个关闭开关是不够的。”
“The kill switch is, that’s kind of a weird thing. It’s not enough to have a kill switch,” the Microsoft co-founder said in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
他说：“我们还没有走到那一步——人工智能会自主接管计算机，而且你知道，之后无法将其关闭。”他还补充称，公众的讨论“多少表明 Various people 中有很多并不懂技术。”盖茨表示，他并不反对设置“关闭开关”，但主张企业应当监控先进的人工智能模型，并准确记录“系统正在做的事情”，以帮助防止人们利用这些系统发动网络攻击或实施生物恐怖主义。他继续说：“美国应当确保做到这一点。中国也会希望这样做。”
“We’re not yet at the point where they autonomously grab computers and, you know, can’t be shut down,” he said, adding that the public discussion “just sort of shows how nontechnical various people are.” Gates said he was not opposed to a kill switch but argued that companies should monitor sophisticated AI models and keep records of “exactly what’s being done” to help guard against people using the systems for cyberattacks or bioterrorism. “The United States ought to make sure this is done. China will want to do this,” he continued.
盖茨发表这些言论之前，肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德尔·保罗阻止了同为共和党参议员的约翰·尼利·肯尼迪迅速通过一项立法的尝试。该法案将要求人工智能公司在其模型中内置“关闭开关”。
Gates’ comments come after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blocked fellow GOP Sen. John Neely Kennedy’s attempt to quickly pass legislation that would require AI companies to build a “kill switch” into their models.
保罗表示，议员们在对整个经济领域施加规定之前需要获得更多信息。他还试图修改肯尼迪的法案，设立一个能够向参议院商务委员会就人工智能防护措施提出建议的机构，但这位来自路易斯安那州的共和党参议员否决了这一提议。
Paul said senators needed more information before imposing rules across the economy and tried to amend Kennedy’s bill to establish a group that could make recommendations on AI guardrail policies to the Senate Commerce Committee — a suggestion the Louisiana Republican rejected.
盖茨还呼吁通过立法，要求采取安全防护和监控措施，并称人工智能公司采取自愿措施是不够的。他说：“没有人认为自我监管就足够了。”
Gates also called for legislation requiring safeguards and monitoring, saying voluntary measures by AI companies were insufficient. “No one thinks self-regulation is enough,” he said.
他认为，眼下更迫在眉睫的危险是人们利用人工智能造成伤害，而不是人工智能系统自行采取行动。
He argued that the more immediate danger was people using AI to cause harm rather than AI systems acting on their own.
他补充道：“真正紧迫的问题，是坏人利用人工智能，而不是人工智能自行失控。”
“The thing that’s urgent has to do with bad people using AI, not the AI going off on its own,” he added.
