欧盟科技负责人表示，欧盟“装备充足”以应对失控AI风险 由Foo Yun Chee撰写 布鲁塞尔，10月9日——欧盟两年前通过的设定AI使用防护栏的规则，足以应对失控AI代理，欧盟科技负责人亨娜·维尔库宁周五在接受路透社采访时表示。
EU tech chief says bloc 'well equipped' to fend off rogue AI risk By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS, Oct 9 - European Union rules setting guardrails on AI use adopted by the bloc two years ago are more than capable of tackling rogue agents, EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen told Reuters on Friday.
全球范围内因OpenAI和Anthropic近期事件而引发的担忧日益加剧，引发人们对失控AI系统可能超越人类控制的恐惧。
There are mounting concerns worldwide triggered by recent incidents at OpenAI and Anthropic, sparking fears that rogue AI systems may slip beyond human control.
欧盟的《人工智能法案》根据风险等级监管该技术的使用，被视为体现了全球最严格的人工智能技术规则。
The EU's AI Act, which regulates the use of the technology based on the level of risk, is seen as embodying the world's strictest rules on artificial intelligence technology.
“我们看到，非常强大模型的安全与安全是国际上一个非常热门的话题，而我们在欧洲对此已经装备充足，”维尔库宁在接受采访时表示。
"We see that the safety and security of very capable models is a very hot topic internationally and we in Europe are well equipped for that," Virkkunen said in an interview.
“我们已经制定了《人工智能法案》，而该法案覆盖了这些模型的整个生命周期，”她补充道。
"We have our AI Act in place and the AI Act covers the whole life cycle of these models," she added.
监管机构正在向企业提供指导，说明如何评估其模型以及应分配多少时间进行评估，并且还会参考来自大学和机构的60名AI专家组成的科学小组的建议，她说。维尔库宁驳斥了一些公司的批评，即欧盟的AI规则已经过时。
Regulators are providing guidance to companies on how to evaluate their models and how much time to allocate for this and would also factor in recommendations from a scientific panel of 60 AI experts from universities and institutions, she said. Virkkunen dismissed criticism from some companies that the bloc's AI rules are already outdated.
“我认为我们的立法者和决策者已经很好地考虑了即将到来的发展，例如他们认识到风险必须进行评估，必须使用外部专家，并且必须继续监控这些模型，”她说。
"Our legislators and decision makers, I think that they have been taking into account very well already the coming developments, for example how they saw that the risks have to be assessed and external experts have to be used and they have to continue monitoring the models," she said.
欧盟委员会于8月下旬向超过30家AI公司发出信息请求，要求其提供安全和安全措施的详情，并随后就其透明度和版权义务提出问题。
The European Commission sent requests for information in late August to more than 30 AI companies asking for details of their safety and security measures and followed up with questions about their transparency and copyright obligations.
此类请求可能导致调查，进而可能导致罚款，最高可达公司全球年营业额的7%。欧盟委员会未透露其所接触的公司名称。维尔库宁表示，她目前正在评估这些回应。
Such requests can lead to investigations that could result in fines of as much as 7% of a company's global annual turnover. The Commission did not name the companies it had approached. Virkkunen said she is now assessing the responses.
被问及中国人工智能初创企业时，维尔库宁表示，委员会也向他们发送了信息请求，并补充说，目前市场上“最有能力的模型”来自美国和中国。
Asked about Chinese AI startups, Virkkunen said the Commission had "also sent requests for information to them", adding that the "most capable models" now in the markets were from the United States and China.
“我认为，所有这些有能力的模型当然也带来了我们必须警惕的新型风险，”她说。
"I think that all these capable models, of course they are posing new kinds of risks that we have to be aware of," she said.
关于欧盟是否应征收主要针对大型美国科技公司的数字税，维尔库宁表示，球现在在欧盟各国政府手中，他们正在讨论为2028年至2034年欧盟预算寻找新的融资来源。
On whether the bloc should impose a digital levy which would fall mainly on big US tech companies, Virkkunen said the ball was in the court of EU governments which are now discussing new sources of financing for the EU budget for 2028 to 2034.
