娜查·卡坦和劳拉·纳米亚斯报道 曾在Anthropic任职的雅各布·考克森曾警告，人工智能可能强大到令人类无法控制。他将于周一与全球一些最大人工智能公司的代表一道，出席纽约市议会的一场听证会并作证。
By Nacha Cattan and Laura Nahmias Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who warned that artificial intelligence could become too powerful for humans to control, will testify Monday at a New York City Council hearing alongside representatives of some of the world’s biggest AI companies.
据知情人士介绍，考克森应市议会议长朱莉·梅宁的邀请出席听证会。Currently, city lawmakers are weighing package bills safeguards. 梅宁一直敦促人工智能举报者出面作证；目前，市议员正在审议一揽子旨在为这项技术建立安全防护措施的法案。
Coxon will appear at the request of Council Speaker Julie Menin, who has urged AI whistleblowers to testify as city lawmakers weigh a package of bills aimed at establishing safeguards around the technology, according to people familiar with the matter.
考克森上个月离开Anthropic，并就竞相开发威力日益强大的人工智能发出严厉警告，指责其前雇主和OpenAI“拿我们的生命冒险”。他确认计划于周一作证。
Coxon quit Anthropic last month and issued a stark warning about the race to develop increasingly powerful AI, accusing his former employer and OpenAI of “gambling with our lives.”He confirmed he plans to testify on Monday.
这场听证会将让该行业一些最直言不讳的批评者，与Anthropic、OpenAI、Alphabet Inc.旗下的谷歌以及Meta Platforms Inc.的代表同场。
The hearing will put some of the industry’s most vocal critics in the same room as representatives of Anthropic, OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Meta Platforms Inc.
据其中一名知情人士介绍，前谷歌DeepMind研究员亚历克斯·特纳，以及人工智能未来项目执行主任、前OpenAI研究员丹尼尔·科科塔伊洛，也预计将出席作证。该人士说，这四家大型人工智能公司将派出政策和安全事务官员。
Former Google DeepMind researcher Alex Turner and Daniel Kokotajlo, executive director of the AI Futures Project and a former OpenAI researcher, are also expected to testify, according to one of the people. The four major AI companies will send policy and safety officials, the person said.
特纳确认计划出席听证会。谷歌发言人拒绝置评。科科塔伊洛及其他公司的代表均未回应置评请求。
Turner confirmed he plans to attend the hearing. A spokesperson for Google declined to comment. Kokotajlo and representatives of the other companies didn’t respond to requests for comment.
这场听证会源于纽约州官员的努力。在人工智能行业于纽约市迅速扩张之际，尽管相关监管仍主要由联邦和州政府负责，州官员仍希望在该行业的监管中发挥更大的作用。
The hearing is part of an effort by New York officials to play a larger role in regulating an industry that has expanded rapidly in the city even as much of AI regulation remains the province of federal and state governments.
提交市议会审议的一项提案由梅宁牵头，内容是在人工智能公司因被举报存在违规行为而缴纳的罚款或罚金被追回后，将其中一部分分配给举报人。议会正在考虑的其他立法将允许因人工智能系统而受损的人在某些情况下起诉开发者，并要求部分系统在部署于该市前通过第三方验证。
One proposal before the council, sponsored by Menin, would give whistleblowers a portion of fines or penalties recovered from AI companies following reported violations. Other legislation under consideration would allow people harmed by AI systems to sue developers under certain circumstances and require third-party validation of some systems before they can be deployed in the city.
彭博新闻社此前报道称，在梅宁办公室警告OpenAI、Anthropic和Google可能被传唤后，三家公司同意出席，而Meta此前已承诺出席。市议会在SpaceX人工智能部门无视出席请求后，向该部门发出了传票。
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google agreed to appear after Menin’s office warned that they could be subpoenaed, while Meta had committed to attending earlier, Bloomberg News previously reported. The Council subpoenaed SpaceX’s artificial intelligence unit after it failed to respond to requests to appear.
