教皇利奥十四世周一表示,人们对人工智能可能失控的担忧应当被认真对待,而不能被当作“假新闻”而忽视;他敦促各国领导人讨论这些风险并采取相应的行动。在从法国返回的航班上,教皇对记者们表示,这个问题需要立即且负责任地加以讨论。他当时正在回答关于美国和中国应如何采取措施来防止人工智能对人类造成灾难性影响的问题。
Pope Leo XIV said on Monday that concerns about artificial intelligence going rogue should be taken seriously and not dismissed as "fake news", urging leaders to discuss the risks and act on them. Speaking to reporters on the flight home from France, the Pope said the issue needed urgent and responsible debate. He was answering a question on what the United States and China, in particular, should do to prevent AI from posing catastrophic risks to humanity.
利奥十四世在他的第一份通谕中专门讨论了人工智能问题以及保护人类的必要性,他说:“这是一个我们必须坐下来认真讨论的问题;我们不能坐视不管、假装什么都不会发生。”然而,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普却将人们对人工智能失控的担忧称为“骗局”。特朗普还大力支持人工智能技术的发展,声称美国必须在技术竞赛中领先于中国,并称任何试图限制该技术发展的行为都是其政治对手的“阴谋”。
Leo, who dedicated his first encyclical to AI and the need to protect humanity, said, "This is a problem that I think we need to sit down and talk about. We can't just sit back and pretend nothing is going to happen." President Donald Trump, however, has called concerns about AI going rogue a "hoax". Trump has also strongly backed AI, saying the United States must stay ahead of China in the technological arms race, and has said attempts to limit the technology were part of a "conspiracy" by his political opponents.
包括 Anthropic 在内的多家人工智能公司都呼吁放缓技术发展的速度,以便安全措施能够跟上这一快速发展的技术步伐。例如,Anthropic 的首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪(Dario Amodei)警告称,人工智能可能在六到十二个月内具备控制整个互联网的能力。特朗普周日表示计划与阿莫迪共进晚餐,但尚未对这次会面发表任何评论。
Several AI companies, including Anthropic, have called for a slowdown in development so that safety measures can catch up with the fast-moving technology. Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei, for example, has warned that within six to 12 months AI could be capable of leading a swarm of agents that could take over the entire internet. Trump said on Sunday he planned to have a late dinner with Amodei, but has not yet commented on the meeting.
利奥十四世表示自己并不感到恐慌,但他也认为专家们的警告不容忽视:“如果有人问我‘我是否处于恐慌状态?’那么我的回答是‘不,我晚上还能正常睡觉’。”
Leo said he was not alarmed, but the warnings from experts could not be ignored. "If someone were to ask me, 'Am I in panic mode?' No, I'm not.
“我确实认为,许多人工智能专家所提出的担忧应该被认真对待,”他补充道,“我不认为这些担忧是‘假新闻’;那些散布这类言论的人,可能是想从中获取经济利益或其他不正当利益。”教皇在首部通谕《人类尊严》中呼吁加强对人工智能的监管,并建议减缓其发展速度。他表示自己一直在密切关注这一议题。尽管刚刚结束了一场漫长的四天法国之行,教皇仍提到了周一下午有关英伟达(Nvidia)为人工智能技术设置安全机制的报道;他还指出,英伟达此前一直反对外界对人工智能发展的监管。
I sleep at night," he said. "I do think that the concerns raised by many of the experts, specialists in AI should be taken seriously." He added, "I don't think that that is 'fake news' as some have said to try and cause whether financial or other some other kind of benefit." The Pope, whose first encyclical "Magnificent Humanity" called for strong AI regulation and a slowdown in development, said he was closely following the issue. Despite being at the end of a gruelling four-day trip to France, Leo referred to a report on Monday afternoon about Nvidia introducing guardrails into AI. He also noted that the company had earlier resisted outside regulation of AI development."
“我们需要继续邀请政治领袖、人工智能领域的专家以及相关社会组织的代表共同讨论当前的情况以及未来可能的发展趋势,”他说,“仅仅认为‘人工智能不会带来危害’就选择视而不见,我认为这并不是最负责任的做法。”他的言论正值业界内外对人工智能技术日益增长的担忧之际——这些技术虽然能够解决超出人类能力范围的问题,但也可能被用于有害的目的。
We need to continue to invite political leaders, leaders of AI, social organisations, associations to come together and look at what is happening already and what could be down the road," he said. "To simply say 'Oh it's not going to happen' and close our eyes to it I think is probably not the most responsible way to go about that." His remarks come amid growing concern within and outside the industry over increasingly powerful systems that can solve problems beyond human capacity but could also carry out more harmful tasks.
OpenAI(ChatGPT的开发者)的首席执行官在接受《财富》杂志采访时表示,由于公司目前专注于确保人工智能的安全性,他们将推迟到明年才在华尔街向投资者出售股票。教皇还表示,自今年5月发布通谕以来,梵蒂冈收到了许多希望参与人工智能相关讨论的人们的反馈;一个专门成立的委员会正在致力于促进对话、开展研究,并探索相关措施,以确保人工智能不会对人类造成威胁。教皇对找到解决问题的方法持“相对乐观”的态度。
The concerns have become strong enough that the chief executive of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, said in an interview with Fortune that the company would wait until next year to begin selling its stock to investors on Wall Street as it focused on safety. Leo said that since publishing his encyclical in May, the Vatican had received responses from people who wanted to be part of a wider conversation on AI. He said a Vatican commission was working to promote dialogue, study and investigation "to find ways to make sure that AI does not get to a point of destroying humanity or removing humanity from the conversation".Leo said he was "relatively optimistic" that solutions could be found.
“我认为,有很多人真正对这个问题感兴趣,并愿意超越‘谁会首先掌握这项技术’这样的问题,去深入探讨其背后的本质。”他说。教皇在当选后不久就指出,人工智能是人类面临的最大挑战之一;周一,他再次强调必须认真对待这些风险,而不能对其置之不理。(信息来源:PTI)
"I think there are enough people seriously interested in that and willing to look at that outside of the questions once again of power, who gets there first," he said. The Pope had identified AI as one of the biggest challenges facing humanity within days of his election, and on Monday he repeated that the risks must be discussed seriously rather than brushed aside.
