“关键基础设施联盟”（Alliance for Critical Infrastructure）是一个由首席执行官们领导的新兴联盟，最近新增了数十名成员，该联盟将重点关注提升各领域的应对能力（即提高对潜在威胁的防范和响应能力）。
The Alliance for Critical Infrastructure, a recently formed CEO-led coalition, has added dozens of new members and will focus on preparedness.
为何这很重要？：随着人们对人工智能可能被用于攻击公共基础设施、金融机构及关键企业的担忧日益加剧，各方采取行动的意愿也在不断增强。
Why it matters: Growing concern about the prospect of AI-powered attacks on public infrastructure, financial institutions and essential businesses is fueling momentum for action.
联盟成员的看法：花旗银行（Citi）首席执行官弗雷泽（Fraser）作为该联盟的新董事会成员之一，向Axios表示：“该联盟拥有广泛的成员基础，这表明大家已经意识到在当今这个‘高度互联互通’的世界中，这一挑战的严重性。”
What they're saying: Citi CEO Fraser, one of the new ACI board members, tells Axios that the group's wide-ranging membership represents an acknowledgment of the gravity of the challenge in an "incredibly interconnected" world.
弗雷泽在接受采访时说：“我们确实看到，人工智能为改善人们的生活、推动经济发展带来了巨大机遇；但与此同时，我们也必须承担随之而来的责任。该联盟将致力于协调各项灾难预防和应对工作。”
"We can see that AI creates enormous opportunity to improve people's lives, help the economy grow, and there's a tremendous amount of upside," Fraser said in an interview. "But in capturing that, we also have to accept the responsibility that comes with it."
他进一步强调：“我可不想在周五晚上10点接到电话（通常就是那些麻烦事发生的时刻），然后才匆忙开始制定应对计划：‘好吧，我们得赶紧制定一份应对方案……谁该联系谁？我们应该怎么做？’”“我们越能迅速协同行动，就能越快阻止潜在威胁的发生，并让受影响的系统恢复正常运行。”
ACI will be poised to coordinate on disaster prevention and reaction. "I don't want to get the phone call at 10pm on a Friday night — just usually when the bad things come in for you — and then at 10:01, we're kind of scrambling to go, 'Okay, we better put a playbook together. Who's going to call whom? What are we going to do?'"
弗雷泽指出，新的人工智能工具具有极其强大的功能，它们能够发现以前未知的漏洞；因此，“各方都在争分夺秒地识别这些漏洞并尽快修复它们。”目前担任联盟临时首席执行官的戈登·史密斯（Gordon Smith）表示，联盟已安排相关公司的核心员工全职参与其中，以确保行动的效率和决策的果断性。
Fraser said. "The quicker that we can be acting together, the faster we can be stopping something and then getting different systems reactivated and restored again." Fraser acknowledged that the new AI tools "are incredibly powerful models" and "they are discovering vulnerabilities that weren't known before," so "there is a race to get those vulnerabilities identified and patched."
史密斯解释说：“这些员工对各自的公司及所在行业都非常熟悉，也深刻理解我们所面临的技术挑战；他们被全职派往联盟工作，而他们的原公司仍会继续为他们支付工资。”
Gordon Smith, who is serving as acting CEO of ACI, said the members have embedded key employees with the coalition for maximum impact and decisiveness.

金融界：花旗首席执行官简·弗雷泽、美国银行首席执行官布莱恩·莫伊尼汉和高盛首席执行官大卫·所罗门。
These are "people who are steeped in their companies, steeped in their industries and really understand the technology, the complexity that we face, and they're assigned on a full-time basis to ACI," Smith said in an interview, adding that each employee's company is still paying them.
科技界：亚马逊首席执行官安迪·贾西、苹果首席执行官约翰·特努斯、谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊和微软首席执行官萨提亚·纳德拉。
Driving the news: Chaired by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, the new members bring heft and depth from multiple industries to ensure that AI doesn't wreak havoc.

威胁级别：该组织将立即面临围绕监管事务、网络安全漏洞以及人工智能公司在缺乏任何联邦或州管控的情况下自我监管义务的诸多问题。
Threat level: The group will be immediately confronted with swirling questions around regulatory matters, cybersecurity breaches and the duty of the AI companies to police themselves, absent any sort of federal or state controls.
弗雷泽表示，当紧迫事项出现时，ACI将被授权以“一个声音”与主要人工智能公司对话。
Fraser said ACI will be empowered to speak with "one voice" to the major AI companies when pressing matters arise.
“这对他们来说更具建设性，而不是让许多人提出不同的观点，”她说。“这也有助于我们在与政府协调时保持一个声音，因此从这个角度来看有多种好处。”底线：史密斯说，ACI反映了一种“尽可能做好准备”的努力。
"That's much more constructive for them rather than having lots of people putting in different points of view," she said. "It will also help us having one voice as we coordinate with the government, so it's got multiple benefits from that point of view." The bottom line: ACI reflects an effort to "be as ready as we can be," Smith says.
