布拉德·史密斯呼吁制定全球人工智能规则,并表示英国处于“最佳位置”来牵头推进。
Brad Smith calls for global rules on AI, and says the UK is in the "best position" to lead the charge.
米切尔·拉比亚克 牛奶和洗衣机目前受到的监管比人工智能更严格,微软总裁表示。
By Mitchell Labiak Milk and washing machines are currently more regulated than AI, the president of Microsoft has said.
布拉德·史密斯表示,需要制定全球安全规则,包括法律义务:如果系统被恶意人工智能代理入侵,必须告知“受害者”,以及何时应让外部评估人员在人工智能产品发布前签署批准。
Brad Smith said there needed to be global safety rules in place, including a legal obligation to tell a "victim" if their system is breached by a rogue AI agent as well as deciding when outside evaluators should sign off on an AI product before it is released.
他的言论使他与唐纳德·特朗普总统的观点相左,后者认为该行业应实行自我监管,以免美国企业输给中国竞争对手。
His comments put him at odds with President Donald Trump, who said the sector should regulate itself so US firms don't lose out to Chinese rivals.
但史密斯说:“目前,你的洗衣机受到的安全规则比人工智能还多。你在杂货店看到的每一盒牛奶都受到安全规则和检查。” 人工智能领域的专家表示,他们认为这项技术对人类构成威胁,因此对人工智能的法律和规则的需求日益增长。
But Smith said: "Right now, your washing machine is subject to more safety rules than AI. Every carton of milk that you see in the grocery store is subject to safety rules and inspection." Demands for laws and rules to control AI have grown after experts in the sector said they believed the technology its a threat to humanity.
总部位于美国的人工智能巨头,如Anthropic、OpenAI和谷歌DeepMind的负责人都支持放缓人工智能开发的想法,但特朗普一直对此持反对态度。
The bosses of the US-based AI giants such as Anthropic, OpenAI and Google DeepMind have all backed the idea of an AI development slowdown, but Trump has pushed against this.
在接受BBC《大老板访谈》时,史密斯称人工智能既是“工具”也是“武器”,急需进行监管。“让我们今天就开始,”他说。
Speaking to the BBC's Big Boss Interview, Smith called AI both a "tool and a weapon" that urgently needed to be regulated. "Let's get started today," he said.
他表示,企业需要“紧急制动”——在业界通常称为“杀死开关”——以便在人工智能失控时暂停或减缓其运行。
He said firms need "emergency brakes" – often known in the industry as 'kill switches' – to pause or slowdown AI if it got out of control in some way.
他还表示,应法律要求企业编写“事件报告”,并在技术失控时告知受害者。他还建议,独立的政府评估人员应对新的人工智能技术进行审查。
He also said there should be a legal requirement for firms to write "incident reports" and tell victims if the technology goes rogue. He also suggested that independent government evaluators should vet new AI technology.
我们知道如何为其他产品做到这一点,"史密斯说。"我们应该在此基础上继续发展,思考如何将其应用于人工智能。"史密斯表示,由于英国拥有AI安全研究所(前身为AI安全研究所),该机构是在前首相里希·苏纳克政府期间成立的,因此英国最适合推动这些全球人工智能规则。"在科技领域,在我认识的大多数人看来,如果你问他们,哪个国家在技术能力方面处于领先地位,他们会说,这很简单。
"We know how to do this for other products," Smith said. "We should build on that knowledge and think about how to apply it to AI." Smith said the UK was best placed to drive forward these global rules for AI because of its AI Security Institute, launched during former prime minister Rishi Sunak's government as the AI Safety Institute. "In the world of technology, in the tech sector, most people that I know would say, if you ask them, name the country that is the leader in having this technical capability, they would say, it's very simple. It's the United Kingdom.
那就是英国。他们是最好的。""时机已经成熟"史密斯的观点与他的总统截然不同,后者认为美国应该在人工智能领域全速前进。特朗普多次表示:"谁赢得了人工智能,谁就赢得了一切。"
They are the best." 'The moment has arrived' Smith's views are very different to those of his president, who believes the US should be going full-steam ahead on AI. Trump has repeatedly said that "whoever wins AI, wins".
然而,史密斯并不认为美国政府会像特朗普的言论所暗示的那样反对英国主导的人工智能法规,他认为美国可能更愿意接受英国制定的标准,而不是欧盟的标准。"在华盛顿特区,人们看待英国和伦敦的方式,与他们看待布鲁塞尔的方式不同——这就是一种优势,"他说。"当你看到人工智能代理失去人类控制时,当你看到那些如此强大以至于它们正在威胁全球网络安全的模型时,我会说:时机已经成熟。"
However, Smith does not believe the US government would be as opposed to UK-led AI regulations as Trump's comments make it seem, suggesting the US would be more accepting of the UK making standards than the EU. "In Washington DC, people don't look at the UK and they don't look at London the way they look at Brussels – that's a strength," he said. "When you look at AI agents that have escaped human control, when you look at models that are so powerful that they're putting the world's cybersecurity at risk.
让我们平静地交谈,也许甚至轻声说话,但要坚定,并开始把人们聚集在一起。我希望这就是我们作为一家公司可以发挥的作用。我希望这就是英国作为一个国家可以发挥的作用。"上个月底,特朗普在白宫接待了美国科技巨头OpenAI、Anthropic、Nvidia、SpaceX、Meta和谷歌的领导人,高管们签署了一份"具有道德约束力"的文件。
I would say: The moment has arrived. "Let's speak calmly, maybe even softly, but firmly, and start to bring people together. I hope that's the role we can play as a company. I hope that's the role the UK can play as a country." At the end of last month, Trump hosted the leaders of US tech giants OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, SpaceX, Meta, and Google at the White House where the executives signed a "morally binding" document.
这些公司同意与"独立审计师"合作,评估其人工智能系统是否按预期运行,并确保它们不会以非预期方式"黑客入侵或访问技术系统"。
The companies agreed to work with "independent auditors" to assess whether their AI systems are working as intended and make sure they do not "hack or access technical systems in unintended ways".
史密斯说他赞赏该声明,微软很乐意签署。"这是一个好的步骤,是必要的步骤……但我认为它已不再足够。"他补充说,任何"自我监管制度"面临的挑战在于"好的公司会做你想要的事"。"你需要担心的是那些不够负责任的公司。"
Smith said he applauds the statement and Microsoft is "happy to sign it". "It's a good step, it's a necessary step... But I don't think it's sufficient any longer." He added that the challenge for any "self-regulatory regime" is that "the good companies will do what you want". "It's the companies that are not as responsible that you need to worry about."
