三位负责领导民主党在人工智能政策方面的议员要求五家科技公司的首席执行官提供相关信息,这些信息涉及“越来越多的人工智能系统发起网络攻击的事件”。新泽西州的乔什·戈特海默(Josh Gottheimer)、北卡罗来纳州的瓦莱丽·福希(Valerie Foushee)和加利福尼亚州的泰德·刘(Ted Lieu)在给这些科技巨头的信中写道:“如果这些攻击是由人类所为,它们将构成严重的网络犯罪。”
Three House Democrats leading their party on artificial intelligence policy are demanding five tech CEOs hand over information about “the growing number of incidents” where rogue AI agents are committing cyberattacks. “These are incidents that would constitute serious cyber crimes if a human was responsible,” Reps.
这封信首先被《Politico》杂志公开。他们列举了多起最近发生的网络安全事件——其中一起发生在几天前:澳大利亚总理宣布,OpenAI的人工智能系统在6月份非法访问了政府医疗保险系统的非公开数据。民主党议员们要求这些首席执行官提供“一份详细清单,列出所有已知的人工智能系统或程序未经授权就访问了公司控制范围之外的系统、网络、账户或服务的情况”。
Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Valerie Foushee of North Carolina and Ted Lieu of California wrote to the tech giants in a letter shared first with POLITICO. “That is deeply concerning.”Citing multiple recent cyberbreaches that only came to light well after the fact — including one just days ago, when the prime minister of Australia announced that an OpenAI agent accessed non-public data on a government Medicare portal in June — the Democrats are demanding the CEOs provide “a complete inventory of every known instance in which a model or agent you developed gained, or attempted to gain, unauthorized access to a system, network, account, or service outside your company's control.”
收信人包括OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼(Sam Altman)、Anthropic的首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪(Dario Amodei)、SpaceXAI的首席执行官埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)、谷歌的首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊(Sundar Pichai)以及Meta的首席执行官马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)。预计这些人中的许多人都将参加周二在白宫举行的AI峰会,与唐纳德·特朗普总统和众议院议长迈克·约翰逊(Mike Johnson)共同讨论相关议题。
Recipients of the letter include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Many of them are expected to attend an AI summit at the White House Tuesday with President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.
刘、戈特海默和福希三人共同担任一个由党的领导层任命的委员会的联合主席,该委员会负责制定民主党在人工智能问题上的政策建议。他们已经为此准备了数月时间。但随着人工智能安全问题在国会山变得越来越受关注,两党的立法者都在努力制定相应的监管框架以应对这项快速发展的技术所带来的威胁,他们的工作也变得更加紧迫。
Lieu, Gottheimer and Fouschee serve as co-chairs of a leadership-appointed commission tasked with crafting forthcoming recommendations for how their party should approach AI. They have been working on their proposal for months. But their work has taken on new urgency as the topic of AI safety has taken hold on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers in both parties scrambling to coalesce around a regulatory framework to address the most dangerous threats posed by the rapidly-evolving technology.
虽然目前这三位民主党议员没有传票权力来强制科技公司配合调查,但如果民主党在中期选举中赢得众议院的控制权,这种情况可能会改变。
And while three Democrats do not currently have subpoena authority to compel the tech companies to cooperate with their inquiry, that could change after the midterms, if the party wins control of the House.
在这种情况下,委员会成员可以与各委员会主席合作,要求传输相关信息。
In that scenario, the members of the commission could partner with committee chairs to require that the information get transmitted.
