纽约——发展中国家要求在制定人工智能相关规则方面发挥更大的作用,他们警告称:如果这项有望改变全球经济格局的技术的发展和监管工作仍集中在富裕国家手中,反而可能加剧全球不平等现象。

NEW YORK - Developing nations are demanding a greater role in shaping the rules governing artificial intelligence, warning that a technology poised to transform economies could instead deepen global inequalities if its development and regulation remain concentrated in wealthy countries.

在上周于纽约举行的联合国外交峰会上,各国领导人就这项日益强大的技术表达了日益严重的担忧。此前已经发生了多起安全漏洞事件,一些顶尖研究人员也警告称人工智能有可能毁灭人类。

The debate at last week’s UN festival of diplomacy in New York highlighted mounting concern among leaders from Africa, Asia and Latin America around the increasingly powerful technology after several safety breaches and as top researchers have warned it could destroy humanity.

“发展中国家不应仅仅被当作其他地区研发出的技术的使用者;同时,它们也不应成为那些未经充分参与制定过程的标准和规范的被动接受者,”刚果民主共和国外交部长特蕾泽·卡伊克万巴·瓦格纳表示。

“Developing countries cannot be reduced to the role of mere users of technologies designed elsewhere, nor should be the mere recipients of standards and norms that they did not adequately participate in shaping,” said Foreign Minister Therese Kayikwamba Wagner of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“我们必须确保21世纪的技术变革不会重蹈过去几十年经济失衡的覆辙,”瓦格纳强调。

“We must ensure that technological transformations of the 21st century do not reproduce the economic imbalances of previous decades,” Wagner said.

她在联合国安理会专门讨论人工智能的会议上发表了上述言论。会上,来自OpenAI的萨姆·奥尔特曼和Anthropic的达里奥·阿莫迪等顶尖人工智能专家也出席了会议,并呼吁各国政府共同努力来管理这项技术。

She made the remarks at a Security Council session dedicated to AI that featured top executives of leading labs, including Sam Altman from OpenAI and Dario Amodei from Anthropic, who urged governments to work together to manage the technology.

孟加拉国外长卡利卢尔·拉赫曼强调了人们对这一议题的浓厚兴趣。他担任2026年联合国辩论的主席时指出:“四年前,只有五个代表团在会议上提到了人工智能问题;而今年,已有128个代表团就此进行了讨论。”这位孟加拉外交部长总结会议时补充说:“许多人将人工智能视为一个治理问题:谁来设计这项技术?谁会从中受益?风险由谁承担?当技术带来危害时,谁应该承担责任?”

Underscoring the surge in interest in the subject, Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman of Bangladesh, who chaired the UN debate in 2026, said that, “four years ago, AI was raised in this hall by only five delegations – this year, 128 delegations addressed it.”“Many framed AI as a question of governance: Who designs it, who benefits? Who bears the risks, and who is accountable when harm occurs,” added the Bangladeshi foreign minister as he concluded the marathon of speeches at the UN.

世界银行在8月份发布的一份报告中指出:如果发展中国家能够迅速解决自身在技术能力、网络连接以及人才方面的不足,人工智能有望帮助它们在十年内实现相当于一个世纪的发展成就。

AI could enable developing countries to gain a century’s worth of development in a decade if they act quickly on power, connectivity and skills gaps, the World Bank said in a report in August.

国际货币基金组织在7月表示,在适当的条件下,人工智能(AI)在未来十年内有可能推动撒哈拉以南非洲地区的经济增长约4%。

The International Monetary Fund said in July that AI could boost Sub-Saharan Africa’s economy by about 4 per cent over the next decade under the right circumstances.

联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯将关于AI风险与气候变化的讨论进行了比较,并指出发展中国家在这两个议题上都应该拥有平等的发言权。

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres compared debates around AI risks and climate change and said that developing nations should have an equal voice in both.

“气候危机已经从遥远的警告变成了现实;而人工智能的发展速度之快,甚至让那些创造它的人也感到意外,”古特雷斯说道。

“The climate crisis went from distant warning to daily reality and artificial intelligence moved at a speed that has blindsided even those who created it,” he said.

“这些并非彼此独立的危机,它们其实是同一个故事的不同章节——这个故事讲述了权力的分配:谁掌握着权力,谁被剥夺了权力;权力如何被使用,以及权力如何正在发生变化,”古特雷斯在联合国会议上强调。

“These are not separate crises. They are chapters of the same story, the story of power: Who has it. Who is denied it. How it is used. And how it is changing,” Guterres told the UN.

与应对气候变化的问题一样,古特雷斯和全球南方国家的领导人呼吁采取协调一致的全球行动,而不是各自为政的应对措施来应对AI带来的挑战。

As with climate change, Guterres and Global South leaders urged a coordinated global action rather than isolated national responses to AI threats.

他们强调对AI进行规范和监管的必要性,这与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的言论形成了鲜明对比。特朗普将AI的风险称为“骗局”和“病态的阴谋论”,并告诉联合国:与气候变化一样,这些风险也被严重夸大了。

Their focus on regulation stood in sharp contrast with remarks by US President Donald Trump, who has dismissed AI risks as a “hoax” and “sick conspiracy” and told the UN that – like climate change – they were vastly overblown.

特朗普说:“那些曾预言由于全球变暖我们所有人都会在12年内死亡的人(其实全球变暖指的是地球温度下降,而非上升,根本没有人因此死亡);现在却声称人工智能会毁灭我们所有人。”

“The very same people who said we’ll all be dead in 12 years because of global warming – a name since reborn to climate change because the planet was cooling, not warming, and nobody was dead – these are the same people that are now saying that AI is going to kill us all,” Trump said.

伯利兹总理约翰·布里塞尼奥表示,如果AI得到妥善管理,它可以扩大知识的传播范围并改善公共服务。但他同时也警告说:“如果管理不善,AI可能会加剧社会不平等,破坏关键基础设施,导致工人失业,并使发展中国家陷入对其他国家制定的人工智能规则和技术的依赖。”(路透社报道)

Belize Prime Minister John Briceño said AI, if well governed, could widen access to knowledge and improve public services. But he also warned: “Poorly governed, it can deepen inequality, expose critical systems, displace workers and leave developing countries dependent on technologies and rules designed elsewhere.”REUTERS
