新加坡：外交部长维文周三（10月7日）表示，新加坡将在2027年接任东南亚国家联盟（东盟）轮值主席国时，推动东盟内部更深层次的经济一体化，并拓展区域以外的更广泛伙伴关系。
SINGAPORE: Singapore will push for deeper economic integration within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and wider partnerships beyond the region when it takes over as chair in 2027, said Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan on Wednesday (Oct 7).
他在新加坡举行的米尔肯研究所亚洲峰会上回答提问时作出上述表示，当时有人问他什么样的东盟主席国任期才算成功。
He was responding to a question at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore, where Dr Balakrishnan was asked what Singapore would consider as a successful ASEAN chairmanship.
他说：“如果我们东盟内部的经济持续增长、日益一体化，且我们各自的优势——比如在能源和科技领域——真能实现互补，使整体大于部分之和，那我们就成功了。”
“If our economy within ASEAN continues to grow, continues to be more and more integrated, and if our respective strengths, say in energy and technology, could really be brought to a complementary where the whole is more than the sum of the parts, we would have succeeded,” he said.
维文在四季酒店面对企业界和商界领袖听众表示：“我们的经济捆绑得越紧密，就越能应对惊涛骇浪和狂风巨浪。”
"The more we can raft our economies, the better it is to cope with high waves and strong winds," said Dr Balakrishnan to an audience of enterprise and business leaders at the Four Seasons Hotel.
关于东盟寻求更广泛的伙伴关系，他表示这将超越这个10国集团的传统对话伙伴，纳入非洲、南美洲、太平洋岛国和加拿大等地区，他将其描述为“跨太平洋战略”。
On ASEAN seeking wider partnerships, he said this would go beyond the 10-member bloc’s traditional dialogue partners, to include regions such as Africa, South America, Pacific Islands and Canada as well in what he described as a “trans-Pacific strategy”.
此次对话由米尔肯研究所首席执行官理查德·迪蒂齐奥主持。这项年度活动已举办第13届，汇聚了商业、金融、政府、科技和娱乐界的领袖，预计将有来自50个国家的1500名参与者出席。
The dialogue was moderated by the chief executive officer of the Milken Institute, Mr Richard Ditizio. The annual event, now in its 13th edition, brought together leaders in business, finance, government, technology and entertainment, with an expected turnout of 1,500 participants from 50 countries.
卫生部长王乙康也将于周四与米尔肯研究所女性健康网络的吉尔·拜登同台发言，后者是2021年至2025年的美国前第一夫人。在对话中，维文表示，尽管全球贸易中断、供应链受阻，东盟仍保持显著增长，主要得益于人工智能、半导体和科技产业。
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung will also be speaking on a panel on Thursday with Milken Institute Women's Health Network Jill Biden, who is the former US first lady from 2021 to 2025 During the dialogue, Dr Balakrishnan said that despite the breakdown in trade and disruption in supply chains globally ASEAN is still seeing significant growth, driven by artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and technology.
他援引越南、新加坡和印度尼西亚记录的高经济增长率，并补充说该地区在“未来20年仍具有巨大的增长潜力”。
He cited the high economic growth rates recorded by Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia, adding that the region still has “great growth potential in the next 20 years”.
“这是一个巨大潜力与危险并存的时刻。这是一个巨大变革与动荡并存的时刻，”他说。
"This is a moment of great potential and peril. This is a moment of great change and volatility," he said.
“如果我们能走钢丝般把握平衡，不仅为新加坡，也为整个东盟，我认为我们有着相当引人注目的叙事和巨大的潜力。”新加坡已经是全球半导体供应链中的关键节点，占全球芯片产量的约十分之一。
“And if we can thread the needle, and not just for Singapore but for ASEAN as a whole, I think we've got quite a compelling narrative and great potential for ASEAN.”Singapore is already a key node in the global semiconductor supply chain, accounting for about one in 10 chips made worldwide.
上个月，由台资和荷资企业合资的VSMC在新加坡开设了一座耗资85亿新元的晶圆制造厂，因包括人工智能、电气化和工业自动化在内的发展推动了半导体需求的增长。
Last month, VSMC, a joint venture by Taiwanese and Dutch firms opened an S$8.5 billion wafer fabrication plant in Singapore, as growing demand for semiconductors is fuelled by developments including AI, electrification and industrial automation.
在对话中，他还谈到了日益加剧的美中竞争，并表示新加坡将寻求维持与两大国的信任，“非常非常小心地处理我们的关系”。
During the dialogue, he also addressed the growing US-China rivalry and said Singapore would seek to maintain trust with both powers and "handle our relationships very, very carefully".
“只要我们能做到，我们将拒绝选边站队，因为一旦你选边站队，实际上你就失去了战略选择，”他说。
"As far as we can do so, we will refuse to choose because the moment you choose, in fact, you've lost strategic options," he said.
东盟目前由菲律宾按年度轮值担任主席国。预计下个月将举行峰会，其结束通常以向下一任主席国移交主席职位的仪式为标志。“失控是真实的威胁”曾尝试使用开源工具构建自己AI智能体的维文博士谈到了该技术带来的风险。
ASEAN is currently chaired by the Philippines on a yearly rotating basis. It is expected to host a summit next month where its conclusion is typically marked by a ceremonial handing over of chairmanship to the next chair. "LOSS OF CONTROL IS A REAL THREAT" Dr Balakrishnan, who had experimented with building his own AI agents using open-source tools spoke about the risks posed by the technology.
“我花了足够的时间构建、交互和使用智能体，可以告诉你们我们面临一个真正的问题，”他说。
"I have spent enough time building, interacting and using agents to tell you that we have a real problem," he said.
“任何声称我完全掌控我的自主代理、确切知道它会做什么或不会做什么的人，显然是在胡说八道。失控是真实的威胁。”他说，因此，流氓国家和非国家行为体可能利用这项技术开发新的大规模杀伤性武器，包括在化学和生物领域。
"Anyone who tells you I've got absolute control over my autonomous agent and I know exactly everything it's going to do or not do, obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Loss of control is a real threat." As such, rogue state and non-state actors could use the technology to develop new weapons of mass destruction, including in chemistry and biology, he said.
巴拉克里什南博士的言论呼应了其他领导人以及人工智能相关公司首席执行官近期关于人工智能对人类构成风险的警告。
Dr Balakrishnan’s statement echoed recent warnings by other leaders as well as chief executives of AI-related companies about the risks posed by AI to humanity.
前沿人工智能模型Claude的开发公司Anthropic上月在美国证券交易所提交的文件中表示，先进人工智能可能对人类构成“灾难性或生存性风险”。
Anthropic, the company behind frontier AI model Claude, submitted US bourse filings that advanced AI could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity" last month.
9月23日，来自Anthropic、OpenAI和HuggingFace的领导人向联合国安理会通报称，日益强大的人工智能系统很快可能实现自我改进、脱离人类控制，并对国际安全构成威胁。
Leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI and HuggingFace on Sep 23 briefed the United Nations (UN) Security Council that increasingly powerful AI systems could soon improve themselves, slip beyond human control and pose a threat to international security.
同样在9月，黄循财总理与其他20多位世界领导人一道，敦促公司、国家和联合国成员国实施人工智能安全措施。
Also in September, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong joined more than 20 other world leaders to urge companies, nations and UN member states to implement AI safety measures.
周三，巴拉克里什南博士就人工智能问题发表个人感想时表示，该技术反映了其训练素材的缺陷和偏见。
Giving his personal reflections on the matter of AI on Wednesday Dr Balakrishnan said that the technology reflects the flaws and biases of the material it is trained on.
巴拉克里什南博士说：“如果我们用互联网上发布的整个语料库来训练我们的代理，而互联网上的大多数内容都是暴力的、厌女的、不公平的、疯狂的，那么你却惊讶于你的人工智能代理竟然是人类的镜像。”“这要么非常可怕，要么应该成为一次深刻反思的契机。”
"If we train our agents on the entire corpus of stuff which has been published on the internet, and most of the stuff on the internet is violent, misogynistic, unfair, crazy, and then you are surprised that your AI agents are a reflection of humanity," said Dr Balakrishnan. "Now that can either be very scary, or it should be a moment of great contemplation."
