SpaceX 已同意本周在纽约市议会作证，作为针对人工智能安全风险的立法调查的一部分，议会于周二宣布。
SpaceX has agreed to testify before the New York City Council this week as part of a legislative investigation concerning artificial intelligence safety risks, the council announced on Tuesday.
议会在新闻稿中称，听证会将于本周五上午 10 点（美国东部时间）在其科技委员会前举行。议会议长朱莉·梅宁（Julie Menin）和总法律顾问恩瓦马卡·埃杰贝（Nwamaka Ejebe）于 9 月 28 日向埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）及 SpaceX 的人工智能部门发出传票，要求其为上周举行的听证会作证。
The council said in a press release that the hearing will take place on Friday at 10 a.m. ET in front of its tech committee. Julie Menin, council speaker, and Nwamaka Ejebe, general counsel, issued a subpoena to Elon Musk and SpaceX's AI unit on Sept. 28, compelling testimony for a hearing that took place last week.
来自 Anthropic、OpenAI、谷歌和 Meta 的代表均于 10 月 5 日的听证会上作证，但 SpaceX 未出席。梅宁在周二的声明中表示，议会称将通过法官强制执行传票后，SpaceX 于两天后同意作证。
Representatives from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Meta all testified at the hearing on Oct. 5, but SpaceX did not appear. Menin said in Tuesday's statement that SpaceX agreed two days later to testify after the council said it intended to have its subpoena enforced by a judge.
梅宁在周二的新闻稿中说：“上周一，我们举行了一场持续数小时的重大听证会，听取了吹哨人、全球最大科技公司以及全国首屈一指的人工智能专家的意见。SpaceXAI 的缺席显而易见，这是不可接受的。”
"Last Monday, we held a major, hours-long hearing with whistleblowers, the world's largest tech companies, and the nation's foremost experts in AI," Menin said in Tuesday's release. "Conspicuously absent was SpaceXAI, which is unacceptable." Musk folded his AI venture, xAI, into SpaceX in February, creating a conglomerate that includes its Grok models, which are used by some federal agencies, including the Pentagon. SpaceX went public in June and is now valued at over $2 trillion. In August, SpaceX also completed a $60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor.
马斯克于二月将其人工智能企业 xAI 并入 SpaceX，形成了一个包括其 Grok 模型在内的集团，这些模型已被包括五角大楼在内的部分联邦机构使用。SpaceX 于六月上市，市值已超过 2 万亿美元。八月，SpaceX 还完成了对人工智能编码初创公司 Cursor 的 600 亿美元收购。
SpaceX competes with Anthropic and OpenAI in the AI market, though Grok trails far behind models from top rivals. The NYC council opened its investigation following a month of intense debate surrounding the risks posed by advanced AI models.
SpaceX 在人工智能市场上与 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 竞争，尽管 Grok 与顶级竞争对手的模型相比仍明显落后。纽约市议会在围绕先进人工智能模型风险的激烈辩论一个月后启动了此次调查。
In its original letter ordering testimony from Musk or another SpaceX leader, the council said its investigation would help, "assess whether fast-emerging risks to public safety, cybersecurity, economic stability, privacy, consumers and businesses warrant immediate legislative action to protect New Yorkers." SpaceX's "failure to comply" with the subpoena, the council warned, could subject the company to penalties or other punishment under New York City laws and regulations.
在原始信函中，市议会要求穆斯克或其他SpaceX高层提供证词，并表示其调查将帮助“评估对公共安全、网络安全、经济稳定、隐私、消费者和企业的快速出现的风险，是否需要立即立法行动来保护纽约人”。市议会警告称，SpaceX“未遵守”传票，可能会依据纽约市法律法规受到处罚或其他惩处。
Carmen De La Rosa, chair of the tech committee, told CNBC in a statement that the council expects answers from SpaceX.
技术委员会主席卡门·德拉罗萨在接受CNBC采访时表示，市议会期待SpaceX给出答复。
"With the proliferation of Elon Musk's technology at the federal level, it is even more important they come to the discussion with robust context about data privacy, safeguards, and whistleblower protections," she said.
她说：“随着埃隆·穆斯克的技术在联邦层面的广泛应用，他们在讨论中提供有关数据隐私、保障措施和举报人保护的充分背景就显得更加重要。”
Lawsuits are piling up against SpaceX after Grok's image generator enabled mass production and distribution of deepfake porn based on images of real people who did consent.
在Grok的图像生成器被用于大规模制作并传播基于真实人物且未经同意的深度伪造色情内容后，针对SpaceX的诉讼不断增加。SpaceX未回应置评请求。
SpaceX didn't respond to a request for comment.
