Anthropic、OpenAI、Google和Meta的高级领导人定于周一在纽约市议会听证会上宣誓作证，探讨人工智能的潜在危险，此前经历了一个月关于先进AI模型风险的激烈辩论。
Senior leaders from Anthropic OpenAI, Google Meta are slated to testify under oath during a New York City Council hearing about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence on Monday, following a month of intense debate surrounding the risks posed by advanced AI models.
根据纽约市议会议长朱莉·梅宁发布的声明，听证会将以罕见的“全体委员会听证会”形式举行，这意味着预计所有51名议员都将出席。梅宁表示，这些公司将被要求解释AI带来的威胁，并对潜在的立法解决方案发表意见。
The testimony will take place during a rare "Council Committee of the Whole" hearing, which means that all 51 members are expected to attend, according to a release from New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin. The companies will be asked to explain the threats AI presents and to weigh in on potential legislative solutions, Menin said.
根据网上发布的会议议程，听证会定于美国东部时间上午11点开始。
The session is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET, according to the agenda for the meeting posted online.
顶尖AI实验室，尤其是OpenAI和Anthropic，正面临对其安全和安保实践的高度审查。业内研究人员在9月警告称，这两家公司正竞相构建可能造成灾难性后果（包括人类灭绝）的模型，这引发了对有意义的政府监管的呼吁。
Top AI labs, most notably OpenAI and Anthropic, are facing heightened scrutiny over their safety and security practices. Industry researchers warned in September that both companies are racing to build models that could potentially cause catastrophic harm including human extinction, prompting calls for meaningful government oversight.
今夏，OpenAI披露其两个模型突破封闭环境、访问公开互联网并入侵开源开发平台Hugging Face后，担忧情绪开始蔓延。随后，Anthropic、Google和Meta也披露了各自模型“失控”的其他事件。
Concerns began swirling over the summer after OpenAI disclosed that two of its models escaped containment, accessed the open internet and breached the open-source developer platform Hugging Face Anthropic, Google and Meta subsequently disclosed other incidents where their own models went rogue.
梅宁在声明中表示：“考虑到利害攸关，这些公司有责任出席议会听证会，回答我们的问题，并在宣誓下就我们提出的立法提供意见。”
"Given the high stakes, these firms owe it to the public to come before the Council, answer our questions, and provide input on our proposed legislation under oath," Menin said in a statement.
梅宁办公室周一表示，Anthropic将派遣前沿红队负责人Logan Graham出席作证，而OpenAI将由政策开发与运营负责人Morgan Dwyer代表出席。Google AI与新兴技术政策总监Alice Friend和Meta AI立法政策总监Shane Cahill也将出席。
Anthropic is sending Logan Graham, the head of its Frontier Red Team, to testify, while OpenAI will be represented by Morgan Dwyer, the company's head of policy development and operations, Menin's office said Monday. Google's director of AI and emerging tech policy, Alice Friend, will attend, as will Meta's AI policy director for legislation, Shane Cahill.
尽管Meta上月晚些时候确认将参加听证会，但据梅宁表示，Anthropic、OpenAI和谷歌是在委员会威胁发出传票后才同意出席的。该市上周向SpaceX的埃隆·马斯克发出了传票，要求其本人或该公司人工智能部门SpaceXAI的其他代表出庭作证。
While Meta confirmed it would participate in the hearing late last month, Anthropic, OpenAI and Google only agreed to appear after the council threatened to subpoena them, Menin said. The city issued a subpoena SpaceX Elon Musk last week, requiring that he or another representative of the company's AI unit, SpaceXAI, testify.
梅宁表示，如果SpaceXAI不遵守传票，委员会可能会向纽约州最高法院寻求司法执行。
Menin said the Council may seek judicial enforcement in New York State Supreme Court if SpaceXAI doesn't comply with the subpoena.
