作者：安德鲁·阿特金森（Andrew Atkinson）和克莱尔·焦（Claire Jiao）英国央行行长安德鲁·贝利（Andrew Bailey）警告称，英国需要做好准备，应对人工智能热潮过后可能出现的资产价格回调所引发的金融市场冲击。
By Andrew Atkinson and Claire Jiao Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned that the UK needs to be prepared for financial market shocks triggered by a potential correction after the artificial intelligence boom.
贝利在周四播出的BBC采访中表示，随着资金涌入人工智能领域并推动资产价格飙升，该央行一直在“非常仔细”地进行观察。“目前所有人的定价都像是赢家，”他说。“回顾过去，并非所有人都是赢家。”这位行长表示，英国央行已准备好应对市场冲击，并将确保金融体系具有韧性。
The central bank has been watching “very carefully” as money poured into AI and sent asset prices soaring, Bailey told the BBC in an interview broadcast Thursday. “Everybody is currently priced to be a winner,” he said. “You look back at the past, not everybody is a winner.”The BOE is ready to deal with market shocks and will ensure that the financial system is resilient, the governor said.
他的这番言论正值全球对人工智能热潮的可持续性展开激烈争论之际。数万亿美元的新财富建立在人工智能技术将以惊人速度持续增长的假设之上。然而，人工智能企业之间激烈的竞争、更高的借贷成本以及公众对数据中心日益增长的抵制，都引发了人们的担忧。
His comments come amid heated global debate over the sustainability of the AI boom. Trillions of dollars of new wealth has been built on the assumption that the technology will keep growing at breakneck speed. But stiff competition among AI firms, higher borrowing costs and growing public pushback against data centers have raised concerns.
在一系列备受关注的安全漏洞事件（包括OpenAI上周透露其模型曾黑客入侵澳大利亚政府网站）发生之后，放缓前沿人工智能开发的呼声也日益高涨。此类事件加剧了人们对人工智能脱离人类控制的恐惧，并促使美国立法者和科技领袖要求建立新的标准。
There are also mounting calls to slow down the development of cutting-edge AI after a series of high-profile security breaches, including disclosures by OpenAI last week that its models had hacked an Australian government website. Such incidents have stoked fears about AI breaking free of human control, and caused US lawmakers and tech leaders to demand new standards.
英国央行在周三发布的两年度系统性风险调查中表示，参与者中提到人工智能相关风险的比例达到了创纪录水平。贝利对BBC表示，这项技术已成为揭示脆弱性的强有力途径。“如果在错误的人手里，”他说，它可能成为“非常强大的武器”。Anthropic PBC首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊（Dario Amodei）已承诺放缓最先进模型的开发，这一承诺得到了OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼（Sam Altman）和埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）等同行的赞同。
In its twice-yearly systemic risk survey published on Wednesday, the BOE said a record number of participants cited risks around AI. Bailey told the BBC that the technology has become a potent way of uncovering vulnerabilities. “In the wrong hands,” he said, it’s potentially a “very powerful weapon.”Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei has promised to slow development of the most advanced models, a pledge embraced by peers like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
另一方面，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将末日恐慌斥为“骗局”，并将要求加强人工智能国际协调的呼吁斥为“全球主义阴谋”。阿莫戴和特朗普周日晚共进晚餐。
President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has belittled doomsday fears as “a hoax” and rejected calls for more international coordination on AI as “a globalist conspiracy.”Amodei and Trump met for dinner on Sunday night.
