随着前所未有的恶意人工智能网络攻击频发，加之中期选举临近，国会内部关于如何监管这项强大技术的政治态势正发生剧变。倘若11月胜选，民主党人将迅速推行自身的人工智能政策愿景。
Unprecedented rogue artificial intelligence cyberattacks and the looming midterm elections are scrambling the political dynamics on Capitol Hill for how to regulate the powerful technology — and Democrats are rushing to lay out their vision for AI if the party prevails in November.
作为参议院商业委员会的首席民主党人，华盛顿州参议员玛丽亚·坎特韦尔与马萨诸塞州众议员洛里·特拉汉于周三分别发布了相关框架文件，其中列出了人工智能安全的核心原则及责任认定草案。其他渴望主导本党相关政策方向的民主党人士也在积极构思提案，其中包括得克萨斯州众议员格雷格·卡萨尔、佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯，以及加利福尼亚州众议员萨拉·雅各布斯和弗吉尼亚州众议员唐·贝耶。
Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, and Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) on Wednesday separately released a framework sketching out core AI safety principles and a liability discussion draft. Other Democrats eager to shape their party’s approach to the technology are considering proposals, including Texas Rep. Greg Casar and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as well as Reps. Sara Jacobs of California and Don Beyer of Virginia.
此前，POLITICO网站于周四率先披露了由雅各布斯与贝耶共同拟定的人工智能安全框架细节。
POLITICO on Thursday first reported details of the Jacobs-Beyer AI safety framework.
与此同时，由众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯牵头组建的民主党人工智能委员会，正由加利福尼亚州众议员泰德·刘、新泽西州众议员乔希·戈特海默及北卡罗来纳州众议员瓦莱丽·福希负责起草全党的AI政策纲领。为充分利用选民对科技巨头的不满情绪与担忧心理，一旦掌控国会，民主党人便计划推出一套涵盖大型科技企业、人工智能产业及数据中心等领域的全面监管与政策方案。
The proposals are arriving as the Democratic AI Commission, assembled by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and led by Reps. Ted Lieu of California, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Valerie Foushee of North Carolina, hammers out its party’s AI policy platform. Intent on capitalizing on voters’ frustration and fears, Democrats are preparing an expansive oversight and policy agenda targeting Big Tech, AI and data centers if they win control of Congress.
