进步派参议员伯尼·桑德斯（佛蒙特州独立党人）周日支持教皇利奥十四世的呼吁，优先考虑人类创作的艺术而非人工智能（AI）生成的艺术。“教皇利奥说得没错。艺术不是某种可以从我们生活中消除的多余奢侈品。
它是人类体验的关键部分，”这位佛蒙特州参议员在社交平台X上写道。“我们不能让大科技寡头摧毁它，”桑德斯补充道。
Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday backed Pope Lepo XIV’s call to prioritize art made by humans over that made by artificial intelligence (AI). “Pope Leo is right. Art is not some kind of superfluous luxury that can be eliminated from our lives. It is a crucial part of the human experience,” the Vermont senator wrote on social platform X. “We cannot let Big Tech oligarchs destroy it,” Sanders added.
这位首位美国出生的教宗周五表示，“区分人类艺术与机器产出的作品变得愈发紧迫”，指的是AI生成艺术。
The first American-born pontiff said Friday it is “becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce,” referring to AI-generated art.
“即使在审美差异之前，艺术与机器基于他人创作的数百万张图像通过统计计算生成的产物之间，存在着本体论上的差异，”利奥在X上写道，并补充说算法“缺乏人性的火花”。
“There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others,” Leo wrote on X, adding that algorithms “lack the spark of humanity.”
教皇总结道：“因此，教会希望与艺术家和文化机构重建联盟，以捍卫我们的人性。”桑德斯一直是国会山对AI公司最严厉的批评者之一。
The pope concluded, “For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.”Sanders has been one of Capitol Hill’s foremost critics of AI companies.
这位独立参议员于3月与众议员亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（纽约州民主党人）共同提出立法，提议在联邦政府制定保障措施前，全国范围内暂停数据中心建设。
The independent senator introduced legislation with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in March that proposed a nationwide moratorium on data center development until the federal government develops safeguards.
上个月，桑德斯和众议员格雷格·卡萨尔（德克萨斯州民主党人）提出了《禁止人工超级智能法案》，呼吁在联邦监管机构建立安全标准前禁止人工超级智能。该法案在众议院有11位联合发起人。
Last month, Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, which calls for a ban on artificial superintelligence until federal regulators establish safety standards. The bill has 11 co-sponsors in the House.
利奥是继已故教皇方济各之后于去年接任、领导梵蒂冈的第二年，他将应对AI作为优先事项。教皇本周早些时候表示，研究人员对该技术提出的担忧是合理的。“如果有人问我，‘我是否处于恐慌模式？’不，我没有，”利奥周一对记者说。“我晚上能睡着觉。但我认为，许多专家、AI专家提出的担忧应被认真对待。”
Leo, is his second year leading the Vatican after succeeding the late Pope Francis last year, has prioritized addressing AI. The pontiff said earlier this week concerns researchers have raised about the technology are legitimate. “If someone were to ask me, ‘Am I in panic mode?’ No, I’m not,” Leo told reporters on Monday. “I sleep at night. I do think that the concerns raised by many of the experts, specialists in AI should be taken seriously.”
