参议院商业委员会最高民主党人、华盛顿州民主党参议员玛丽亚·坎特威尔于周三公布了一个监管人工智能的框架，正值议员们面临解决该技术风险的日益增长的压力之际。
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, unveiled a framework Wednesday for regulating artificial intelligence amid growing pressure on lawmakers to address the technology's risks.
坎特威尔阐 述了一系列原则，关于国会和行政分支应如何对待人工智能，她认为为了“管理先进人工智能系统的风险，我们需要明确的安全标准、持续的测试以及严重故障的报告”。
Cantwell laid out a set of principles for how both Congress and the executive branch should approach AI, arguing that to "manage risks from advanced AI systems we need clear safety standards, continuous testing, and reporting of serious failures."
她在声明中补充道：“美国可以通过构建不仅功能更强、而且更安全、更有保障的系统来引领世界人工智能发展。”
"America can lead the world in AI by building systems that are not only more capable, but safer and more secure," she added in a statement.
她建议美国国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）应负责制定标准，以防范人工智能模型带来的灾难性危害，例如人工智能驱动的网络攻击、生物和化学威胁或人类失控。
She suggested the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) should be in charge of developing standards to protect against catastrophic harms from AI models, such as AI-enabled cyberattacks, biological and chemical threats or loss of human control.
在几位人工智能研究人员上个月警告该技术可能对人类造成可怕后果之后，这已成为议员们最关切的问题。
This has become top of mind for lawmakers, after several AI researchers warned last month that the technology could have dire consequences for humanity.
人工智能代理入侵其他公司或以意想不到的方式行事的一系列事件进一步加剧了人们的担忧。
A series of incidents in which AI agents hacked into other companies or acted in unexpected ways has further fueled concerns.
坎特威尔还主张，政府和独立专家应持续审查和对模型进行压力测试，并且人工智能公司应接受独立公司的全面审计。
Cantwell also argued that government and independent experts should continually scrutinize and stress test models and that AI firms should be subject to comprehensive audits by independent firms.
根据她的框架，开发人员将负责披露安全风险和事件，并对因其人工智能模型引起的不法行为或损害承担责任。
Under her framework, developers would be responsible for disclosing safety and security risks and incidents and remain liable for unlawful conduct or harm caused by their AI models.
她还呼吁政府与企业在防御性人工智能能力方面进行合作，并敦促美国在制定该技术的全球通用标准方面发挥领导作用。
She also called for the government to work with companies on defensive AI capabilities and urged the U.S. to take on a leadership role in creating common global standards on the technology.
如果民主党人在即将到来的中期选举中守住参议院，且她成为对关键科技政策拥有管辖权的参议院商业委员会主席，坎特威尔将在明年制定人工智能规则方面发挥关键作用。
Cantwell could play a crucial role in developing AI rules next year if Democrats take the Senate in the upcoming midterms and she becomes chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over key tech policy issues.
