曼谷 – 七国集团(G-7)财政领导人同意举行桌面演习以防范AI网络攻击，日本财务大臣片山萨纪表示，随着政策制定者日益寻求协调应对日益增长的网络安全风险。
BANGKOK – Finance leaders of the Group of Seven (G-7) grouping agreed to hold tabletop exercises to guard against AI cyberattacks, Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said, as policymakers increasingly seek to coordinate responses to growing cyber security risks.
此协议是在国际货币基金组织(IMF)本周警告称，对金融机构关键服务的AI赋能网络攻击可能削弱信任之后达成的。
The agreement comes after the International Monetary Fund warned this week that confidence could be undermined by an AI-enabled cyberattack on a critical service of a financial institution.
“G7财政副部长一直在讨论开展前沿AI桌面演习的想法，该想法已在部长级获得批准，”片山萨纪在10月15日对记者表示。
“The G7 finance deputies had been discussing the idea of doing tabletop exercises on frontier AI, which was signed off at the ministerial level,” Katayama told reporters on Oct 15.
她的言论是在她参加于IMF年会期间在泰国首都曼谷举行的G-7先进经济体财政部长和央行行长会议之后作出的。
She made the remarks after attending a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors of the G-7 advanced economies held on the sidelines of the IMF’s annual gathering in Bangkok, the Thai capital.
一位参加财政领导人会议的日本财务省官员表示，该计划将包含由G-7财政当局制定的演变模拟，以测试他们应对AI驱动的网络攻击的能力。
The plan will feature simulations evolved by G-7 finance authorities to test how they can respond to AI-driven cyberattacks, said a Japanese finance ministry official who attended the finance leaders’ meeting.
该官员告诉记者，演习结果将检验现有协议的有效性，并用于修订手册以更好地应对此类事件。
The results will test effectiveness of existing protocols and be used to revise manuals to better tackle such incidents, the official told reporters.
该官员补充称，G-7财政部和央行的演习可能根据模拟性质包括私营金融机构。
The exercises by G-7 finance ministries and central banks could include private financial institutions depending on the nature of simulations, the official added.
路透社报道，全球银行监管机构正在加大力度以遏制日益增长的AI风险，一些机构指出银行遭受网络攻击或流氓代理破坏全球金融稳定的潜在风险。
Banking regulators globally are stepping up efforts to contain growing AI risks, Reuters reported, with some pointing to the potential for cyberattacks on banks or rogue agents undermining global financial stability.
其中包括英格兰银行，其副行长在10月15日表示，该行正与银行合作开展深度网络恢复方案，并补充称，他们不再能假设自身防御对AI赋能的网络攻击具有免疫力。
Among them is the Bank of England, which is working with banks on deep cyber-recovery options, its deputy governor said on Oct 15, adding that they can no longer assume their defences are immune to AI-enabled cyberattacks.
