财政部长斯科特·贝森特针对那些主张对AI实施监管的科技行业领袖发表了一些言论。
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had some things to say about pro-regulation tech leaders that might go down better with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
在周六参加《Axios Show》节目时，贝森特将那些希望政府为AI发展设定规则的CEO比作电影中的反面人物。
During a Saturday appearance on "The Axios Show," Bessent compared CEOs who want the government to slap guardrails on AI to a reviled cinematic figure.
他说道：『这就好比汉尼拔·莱克特——在我再次酿成大祸前阻止我吧。
"I mean, it's kind of like Hannibal Lecter: Stop me before I kill again," Bessent said.
』他还指出：『部分AI从业者只知制造恐慌却拿不出解决方案，这根本称不上是领导力。
"This alarmism without solutions by some of the AI community — that's not leadership."
』贝森特以《沉默的羔羊》中的连环杀手作类比，强调那些要求政府介入监管的AI企业领袖理应自行放慢开发步伐，而非依赖政府干预。贝森特的这番言论与白宫的立场相契合。
此前，众多AI行业领袖联名呼吁业界暂缓发展步伐，理由是担心技术失控。
Bessent invoked "The Silence of the Lambs" serial killer while saying that AI bosses who want Washington to erect guardrails for the tech they are building should slow down development themselves without government intervention. Bessent's comments are in line with the White House's response to the chorus of AI leaders who last month called for an organized slowdown among AI companies, citing fears that their technology is getting out of control.
例如Anthropic公司的CEO达里奥·阿莫迪就恳请美国政府实施监管。
Some, like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, asked the US government to step in and regulate the companies.
唐纳德·特朗普总统随后召集各AI企业CEO在白宫开会，最终促成了业界自愿自律的承诺。贝森特表示，目前各AI企业似乎正在听从白宫的建议。
President Donald Trump brought together AI CEOs for a meeting at the White House that resulted in a voluntary self-policing pledge. Bessent said that AI companies appear to be taking the White House's advice.
他举例称，OpenAI在内部测试发现某新模型可能无法准确执行用户指令后，便决定暂缓发布。贝森特称：『各实验室都表现得十分配合。
He cited OpenAI's recent decision to shelve a new model after internal tests raised questions about whether the AI would follow users' instructions. "The labs have been very cooperative," he said.
』不过，也有业内人士担忧，为争夺行业主导地位而展开的竞争正导致安全规范被忽视。
Others in the AI community have warned that the race to dominate the space is sparking a dangerous disregard for safety guardrails.
Anthropic的公共政策主管莎拉·赫克上周在社交平台上指出：『处于第二梯队的企业根本无力保障安全。
"You can't do safety from second place," Sarah Heck, Anthropic's head of public policy, said on X last week.
』此外，OpenAI的安全事务负责人戴维·罗宾逊于周六宣布辞职，理由是公司发展速度过快，难以确保模型不会对社会造成危害。
An OpenAI safety leader, David Robinson, publicly announced his resignation on Saturday, saying he believes the company is moving too fast to ensure its models can't wreak havoc on society.
