劳拉·克雷斯据斯洛文尼亚国家官方域名注册机构称,唐纳德·特朗普总统推动为人工智能改名的举措,可能是该国域名注册量出现“前所未有”增长的原因。

By Laura Cress President Donald Trump's push to rename AI may be behind an "unprecedented" rise in registrations for domain names in Slovenia, according to its official national registry.

特朗普总统希望将人工智能称为“超级智能”,简称SI——这也是斯洛文尼亚网站使用的字母组合。

The president wants AI to be called super intelligence - or SI - the same initials used by Slovenian websites.

si域名注册机构发言人克拉拉·赫尔曼说,9月份以.si为后缀的网址注册量达到4.4万个,而8月份不足2000个,增幅超过2100%。

si spokesperson Klara Herman said 44,000 web addresses with the .si suffix had beened in September, compared to less than 2,000 in August - an increase of more than 2,100%.

她说,与此前12个月相比,9月下旬的注册活动规模“前所未有”。

She said the scale of activity in late September was "unprecedented" compared to the previous 12 months.

9月11日,特朗普总统在纽约举行的联合国大会上发表演讲,呼吁重新命名这项技术。“使用‘人工’这个词,会让它听上去像是假的。”

President Trump called for the technology to be renamed during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 11 September. "The use of the word artificial makes it sound fake," he said.

“它不是假的,实际上非常惊人。但我们必须谨慎……欢迎来到超级智能的新世界。”互联网域名是人们为访问网站而在网页浏览器中输入的唯一且易读的地址,例如bbc.co.uk。

"It's not fake, it's actually amazing. But we have to be careful... welcome to the new world of super intelligence." Internet domains are the unique human-readable addresses people type into their web browsers to access websites - like bbc.co.uk.

赫尔曼说,9月份.si域名的注册量相较于今年其他月份“非常明显”地突出,但她对将全部增幅仅仅归因于特朗普总统的言论持谨慎态度。她说,仅9月30日一天就记录了1.1万次新注册。

Herman said registrations for .si web addresses in September stood out "very clearly" against the other months in the year, although she was "cautious" about attributing the entire increase to only President Trump's comments. She said on 30 September alone, 11,000 new registrations were recorded.

这些购买行为的一种可能解释是域名抢注,即人们投机性地注册域名,以防其日后升值并可出售获利。

One possible explanation for the purchases is cyber-squatting - where people speculatively specific domain names in case they increase in value later on and can be sold for a profit.

例如,1997年,被称为“域名之王”的里克·施瓦茨以1.5万美元(1.13万英镑)买下men.com域名。七年后,他以132万美元将其出售。

For example, in 1997 Rick Schwartz, known as "The Domain King", bought the domain name men.com for $15,000 (£11,300). He sold it for $1.32 million seven years later.

周二,特朗普总统主持了一场科技行业高管会议,并称这是那些“建设美国黄金时代”的人参加的“一次非凡聚会”。

On Tuesday, President Trump hosted a meeting of top technology bosses for what he called "an extraordinary gathering" of the people "building America's Golden Age".

他签署了一项行政命令,指示美国政府各部门和机构开始使用“SI”和“超级智能(Super Intelligence)”这两个术语,并不再承认“AI”一词的使用。

He signed an executive order instructing US government departments and agencies to start using the terms "SI" and "Super Intelligence" and they should no longer acknowledge the use of the term AI.

该命令称,在“官方信函”、网站、报告和其他形式的交流中,SI将取代AI。

SI will take the place of AI in "official correspondence", websites, reports and other forms of communication, the order said.

然而,该命令签名部分的图片在网上遭到嘲笑——因为人们发现,在总统特朗普的签名下方,“美国”(United States)一词被拼写错了。关注全球顶级科技新闻与趋势。身处英国境外?请在此注册。
