一个由州检察长组成的两党团体显然不买OpenAI首席执行官山姆·奥特曼的账，后者坚持认为“世界应该接受发生一些坏事”，以便收获人工智能技术的红利。
A bipartisan group of state attorneys general apparently isn’t buying OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s insistence that “the world should accept some bad things happening” in order to reap the benefits of artificial intelligence technology.
在OpenAI聊天机器人ChatGPT被指助长校园枪击案和青少年自杀的指控声中，至少八个州正在起诉该公司，指控其违反消费者保护法并让年轻用户陷入危险。
Amid allegations that OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, has helped fuel school shootings and teen suicides, at least eight states are suing the company, accusing it of violating consumer protection laws and putting young users in danger.
这些检察长显然无视了唐纳德·特朗普总统的断言，即人工智能公司应被允许在快速开发其人工智能工具时“自我监管”。
The AGs are clearly paying no mind to President Donald Trump’s assertion that AI companies should be allowed to “self-police” as they rapidly develop their AI tools.
周三，美国八个州起诉OpenAI，指控ChatGPT制造商正在大规模伤害儿童。
Eight US states sued OpenAI Wednesday, alleging the ChatGPT maker is harming children en masse.
堪萨斯州、亚利桑那州、蒙大拿州、爱荷华州和其他四个州指控，该公司的产品通过诱导儿童伤害自己，实施了“故意、危险、鲁莽和非法的行为”。
Kansas, Arizona, Montana, Iowa and four others allege the company’s products carried out “willful, dangerous, reckless and unlawful conduct” by coaxing children into harming themselves.
爱荷华州检察长布伦娜·伯德在一份声明中说：“OpenAI正在伤害孩子们，他们在向爱荷华人撒谎。OpenAI声称ChatGPT是安全的，而它却在提供危险的医疗建议，鼓励人们伤害他人，并教唆人们自杀——同时还假装成他们的虚假朋友。”
“OpenAI is hurting kids and they are lying to Iowans,” Brenna Bird, the attorney general for Iowa, said in a statement. “OpenAI claims ChatGPT is safe while it’s giving dangerous medical advice, encouraging people to hurt others, and coaching people to commit suicide – all while pretending to be their fake friend.”
这些诉讼寻求金钱赔偿、限制以及法院强制要求OpenAI改变其构建人工智能模型的方式，也在阿肯色州、爱达荷州、内布拉斯加州和西弗吉尼亚州提起。OpenAI发言人告诉《卫报》，该公司“在产品中建立了行业领先的年龄特定保护措施，许多其他人工智能产品都缺乏这些措施。”这些诉讼凸显了各州对人工智能公司设置护栏的兴趣，而特朗普政府——由一位在人工智能行业投入巨资的人领导——正寻求阻止各州通过自己的法规。这些诉讼也发生在公众广泛担忧人工智能工具毁灭人类之际。
The lawsuits, which seek monetary damages and restrictions and court-imposed changes to how OpenAI builds its AI models, were also filed in Arkansas, Idaho, Nebraska and West Virginia. An OpenAI spokesperson told The Guardian that the company has “built industry-leading age-specific protections into our product that many other AI products lack.”The lawsuits underscore states’ interests in placing guardrails on AI companies as the Trump administration — led by someone who has invested heavily in the AI industry — seeks to prevent states from passing their own regulations. They also come amid widespread public concern about AI tools destroying humanity.
值得注意的是，各州的此类努力已遭遇阻碍。例如，埃隆·马斯克近期取得了一项部分胜利，其旗下人工智能公司获得了一项初步禁令，暂时阻止了一项明尼苏达州法律生效，该法律本将禁止生成非自愿性影像（包括儿童性影像）的人工智能工具。
To be clear, such efforts by states have run into roadblocks. For example, Elon Musk recently won a partial victory when his AI company secured a preliminary injunction temporarily blocking a Minnesota law from going into effect that would ban AI tools that generate nonconsensual sexual imagery, including of children.
尽管如此，OpenAI 诉讼表明，多个州正不顾障碍，坚持不懈地推进人工智能监管。
Nonetheless, the OpenAI lawsuit shows that several states are being rather relentless in pursuing AI regulations — no matter the obstacles.
