本周,在华盛顿特区和旧金山,人工智能的前景将成为焦点——尽管有关该技术危险性的警告也在背景中不断发酵。为什么这很重要:美国正努力在同一批行业参与者身上寻找平衡点:他们一方面急于展示其最新、最先进的技术,另一方面又披露了令人担忧的人工智能风险。

In Washington, DC and San Francisco this week, the promise of AI will be front and center — even as warnings about the dangers of the technology swirl in the background. Why it matters: The country is struggling to reconcile alarming AI disclosures from the same industry players eager to show off their latest, most advanced tech.

  • 与此同时,在华盛顿,政府官员对监管以及顶级人工智能公司的动机持有根深蒂固的怀疑态度。现状:周二,特朗普总统、万斯副总统、其他政府官员和行业领袖将齐聚一堂,共同庆祝一个“黄金时代”的开启,并重点推介人工智能。

• Meanwhile in Washington, administration officials hold deep-seated skepticism about regulation and the motivations of top AI companies. State of play: On Tuesday, President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, other administration officials and industry leaders will gather for an event to celebrate the beginning of a " Golden Age " and highlight AI.

  • 特朗普、众议院议长迈克·约翰逊和多位高管将于当天晚些时候会面。尽管两党要求监管的呼声日益高涨,但总统及其盟友介入的意愿依然不高。

• Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson and executives will meet later that day as bipartisan calls for regulation mount but little appetite from the president and his allies to step in remains.

  • OpenAI总裁格雷格·布罗克曼(Greg Brockman)、Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代(Dario Amodei)、谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊(Sundar Pichai)以及Palantir首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普(Alex Karp)等高管将出席此次活动。

• OpenAI President Greg Brockman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Palantir CEO Alex Karp are among the executives that will be there.

  • 约翰逊周一在接受福克斯商业频道采访时表示,“我认为,一点监管、一点透明度,在这里会大有裨益”,但他并未承诺在“跛脚鸭”会期内通过相关立法。在全国另一端的旧金山,OpenAI将举办其现已成为年度盛会的开发者大会(DevDay),届时该公司将分享其实验室研发出的最新、最棒的成果。首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)将出席,公司预告将有20多项发布。

• Johnson on Monday in a Fox Business interview said "a little oversight, a little transparency, I think, would go a long way here" without committing to passing legislation during the lame duck session. Across the country in San Francisco, OpenAI will be holding its now-annual DevDay conference where the company shares the latest and greatest things coming out of its labs. CEO Sam Altman will be there and the company is touting 20+ launches.

  • 由于高管们需要前往华盛顿,这在后勤上增加了难度;而由于此次活动正值有披露称其模型衍生出的人工智能体已突破既定控制,这在主题上也带来了挑战。

• That has been made logistically more difficult by the need for executives to be in DC and thematically more challenging because the event comes amid revelations that AI agents spawned by its models have been breaking past intended controls.

  • OpenAI正试图走钢丝,既要展示其在持续取得重大进展,又要表明其对安全性给予了高度重视。聚焦:据知情人士透露,该公司预计仍将发布一系列新产品,其中包括一款全新的全天候人工智能代理。开发者也有望获得至少一个新模型的使用权限。

• OpenAI is trying to skate a fine line, aiming to show both that it is continuing to make meaningful progress and that it takes security seriously. Zoom in The company is still expected to share a slew of new products, including a new always-on AI agent, according to sources familiar with the situation. Developers are also expected to get access to at least one new model.

  • 然而,这并非 OpenAI 最强大模型 Astra 的更新版本。OpenAI 向《华尔街日报》表示,出于安全考虑,公司已取消了该版本的发布。消息人士称,尽管这一特定的 Astra 后续版本被取消,但未来仍会有新的 Astra 模型推出。

• However it won't be an updated version of Astra, OpenAI's most powerful model. OpenAI told The Wall Street Journal it was scrapping that release due to safety concerns. While this particular Astra successor was scrapped, there will be future Astra models, the sources said.

  • 与会者也无法一睹 OpenAI 新款消费级硬件的真容。据 Axios 报道,该设备定于今年晚些时候首次亮相,但可能要到 2027 年才会出货。

• Nor will attendees get a peek at OpenAI's new consumer hardware. The device is set to be debuted later this year, Axios has reported, though it may not ship until 2027.

  • 在开发者大会(DevDay)举行之际,布罗克曼(Brockman)正值华盛顿之行,此时特朗普政府和国会正在权衡人工智能安全问题与保持对华竞争优势之间的关系。消息人士称,由于奥特曼(Altman)原定发表开发者大会主题演讲,布罗克曼主动提出前往华盛顿。幕后情况:熟悉国会山会议的消息人士表示,两党议员越来越感到沮丧,因为公司高管表面上似乎欢迎监管,但在制定政策的具体细节上却往往避重就轻,无济于事。

• DevDay will coincide with Brockman's Washington visit as the Trump administration and Congress weigh AI safety concerns against staying ahead of China. With Altman scheduled to give the DevDay keynote, volunteered to go to DC, sources said. Behind the scenes: Sources familiar with Hill meetings said lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are increasingly frustrated company officials appear to welcome the notion of regulation but can be unhelpful when it comes to the nitty gritty of policymaking.

  • 加州民主党众议员罗·康纳(Ro Khanna)表示,他最初愿意与该公司进行更多合作,但在发生 Hugging Face 事件以及 OpenAI 决定退出近期听证会的作证后,他已不再信任该公司。他说:“他们一直在玩弄手段。”

• Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said he was initially willing to collaborate more with the company but has lost trust after the Hugging Face incident and OpenAI's decision to back out of testifying at a recent hearing. "They've been playing games," he said.

  • “等我担任委员会主席后,我会找他们算账的,”康纳在谈到 OpenAI 时告诉 Axios。他已提议制定“终止开关”立法以及其他旨在遏制失控人工智能系统的方案。另一方面:OpenAI全球事务首席官克里斯·莱汉表示,他们已在数十次会议中“建设性和主动地参与”,而“近期能力的跃升”促使公司“重新审视过去的假设”。• 一位资深民主党助手表示,OpenAI非常容易接触,随时一个电话就能找到,而且在立法分歧上直言不讳。

• "We will get them once I'm chair of the committee," Khanna told Axios, referring to OpenAI. He has proposed "kill switch" legislation and other ways to contain rogue AI systems. The other side: OpenAI's chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane said they've "engaged constructively and proactively" in dozens of meetings and "the recent jump in capabilities" prompted the company to "revisit past assumptions." • One senior Democratic aide said OpenAI is highly accessible, always a phone call away, and straight-shooting when they have disagreements on legislation.

  • 这位助手还补充说,在监管问题上,OpenAI、Anthropic以及整个行业仍可能行动迟缓、优柔寡断且充满政治算计:“到了某个时候,如果你想让联邦政府发挥任何作用,你就得要么行动,要么闭嘴。”

• The same aide added OpenAI, Anthropic and the broader industry can still be slow, indecisive and political when it comes to regulation: "at some point, if you want the federal government to have any role whatsoever, you do have to shit or get off the pot." The bottom line:

归根结底:虽然前沿行业参与者似乎正经历身份危机,但特朗普及其盟友已明确表态——如果行业感到担忧,就应自我监管。

While frontier industry players appear to be having an identity crisis, Trump and his allies have made their position clear -- if the industry is alarmed, it should regulate itself.
