反对派正在呼吁与美国达成一项协议，给予澳大利亚对尖端人工智能模型的“优先访问权”。
The opposition is calling for a deal with the US giving Australia “preferential access” to cutting-edge artificial intelligence models.
前沿模型推动了人工智能发展的边界，其创造者既吹捧其给人类带来的巨大福祉，也警告了其存在的生存风险。
Frontier models push the boundaries in AI development, with their creators both touting enormous boons for humanity and existential risks.
上个月曝光的制造联邦医疗保险（Medicare）黑客事件的恶意代理就是由OpenAI的前沿模型驱动的。
An OpenAI frontier model powered the rogue agent behind the Medicare hack revealed last month.
在周三晚间的一场探讨美中之间激烈人工智能竞赛的演讲中，反对派外交事务发言人泰德·奥布赖恩（Ted O’Brien）表示，澳大利亚需要获取美国的前沿模型来保护自己。
“最近涉及AI代理独立入侵Medicare数据的事件，有力地提醒了人们这种风险，”他在澳中关系研究所（China-Australia Relations Institute）表示，“人工智能不是一种选择——而是一种现实。它已经存在并正在迅速扩张。”
In a speech on Wednesday night canvassing the fierce AI race between the US and China, opposition foreign affairs spokesman Ted O’Brien said Australia needed access to American frontier models to protect itself.
他说，“世界需要保障措施”，不仅要“防止人工智能被国家和非国家行为者滥用，还要减轻人工智能自我武器化的可怕前景”。奥布赖恩先生说：“答案是——我们必须与美国达成协议。”
“The recent incident involving AI agents independently hacking into Medicare data is a potent reminder of such risks,” he told the China-Australia Relations Institute. “AI isn’t a choice – it’s a reality. It is already here and expanding rapidly.”
“这样的协议可以从一个政府间框架开始，为澳大利亚提供对AI前沿模型的早期和优先访问权，并保证持续的访问。”
“澳大利亚当务之急是加强我们的数字防御，保护支撑现代社会的关键基础设施免受AI驱动的网络威胁。”
He said the “world needs safeguards” to not only “protect against AI being misused by state and non-state actors but to mitigate the horrifying prospect of AI being weaponised by itself”.
“我们可以利用人工智能作为盾牌，来对抗被当作利器的人工智能。”
“The answer – we must do a deal with the United States,” Mr O’Brien said.
他还表示，这正是总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）9月份在美出席联合国大会时应该寻求的。
此前一天，即周四，科学和技术助理部长安德鲁·查尔顿（Andrew Charlton）将就人工智能监管发表讲话。更多内容即将报道
“Such a deal could start with a government-to-government framework that affords Australia early and preferential access to AI frontier models and a guarantee of continued access. “Australia’s immediate priority is to fortify our digital defences and shield the critical infrastructure underpinning modern society from AI-driven cyber threats. “We can use AI as a shield to counter AI being used as a sword.” He also said that is what Prime Minister Anthony Albanese should have sought while in the US for the UN General Assembly in September. The comments came ahead of a speech on Thursday from Assistant Science and Technology Minister Andrew Charlton on AI regulation. More to come
