一家基督教事工机构自行开发了人工智能应用程序，以指导用户的灵性旅程，该机构负责人警告开发人工智能系统的公司需要实施“伦理准则”，以确保其技术不会伤害人。
The leader of a Christian ministry that built its own artificial intelligence application to guide users in their spiritual journey warns companies developing AI systems need to implement "ethical guidelines" to ensure their technology doesn't harm people.
利吉尼尔事工机构总裁兼首席执行官克里斯·拉森表示，真正的最高智慧是上帝，并分享了他所在团队创建的新工具，以帮助从信仰角度回答人们可能提出的问题。
Ligonier Ministries president and CEO Chris Larson says that the true highest intelligence is God, and shared a new tool his group created to help answer questions people my have from a faith-based perspective.
“特朗普总统甚至现在将人工智能称为‘超级智能’，这很有趣，”拉森对福克斯新闻数字版表示。“当然，基督徒——实际上，我们所有人——都能接触到‘超级智能’，即创造了宇宙的那一位。”
"It's interesting that [President Donald Trump] even referred to artificial intelligence now as 'superintelligence,'" Larson told Fox News Digital. "Of course, Christians — and, really, all of us — have access to the 'superintelligece,' the one who has created the universe."
这家总部位于佛罗里达州的组织由已故基督教神学家R.C.斯普罗尔创立，其使命是尽可能广泛地向尽可能多的人宣扬、教导和捍卫上帝圣洁的“全部丰盛”。
The mission of the Florida-based organization, founded by the late Christian theologian R.C. Sproul, is to proclaim, teach and defend the holiness of God "in all its fullness to as many people as possible."
实现这一使命的一部分是开发一款该组织称为“Grow”的应用程序。
Part of accomplishing that mission was building an app that the organization calls "Grow."
“该应用致力于帮助基督徒更好地理解圣经和神学，并在信仰中更深入地扎根，如果你愿意这么说的话，”拉森谈到这款新工具时说。“因此，这款应用中包含了来自800多位不同教师的50年教学内容，当然，这些内容都基于R.C.斯普罗尔博士毕生的教学。”该应用程序汲取了数万件内容的图书馆，帮助正在信仰旅程中寻求关键问题答案的用户。
"It's dedicated to helping Christians to better understand the Bible and theology and to go deeper in their faith, put down roots, if you will," Larson said of the new tool. "And so this app has 50 years of teaching in it from more than 800 different teachers, of course, grounded in Dr. R.C. Sproul's lifetime of teaching." The app draws from a library of tens of thousands of pieces of content help users in their faith journey looking to obtain answers to critical questions.
Grow内部有一个“智能回答助手”，可以从信仰角度回答用户的问题。
Inside Grow is an "intelligent answer assistant" which can answer questions from users from a faith-based perspective.
但拉森解释说，为基督教用户构建Grow应用程序需要对模型的伦理问题进行大量思考。
But building an Grow for Christian users required putting a great deal of thought into the ethics of the model, Larson explained.
“现在，它并不试图假装自己是人或其他什么。它只是在我们的图书馆上进行训练，然后帮助基督徒信任答案，并且只能做到这个程度，”他说。“同样，我认为这也是一个重要的保障。因为对我们来说，确保我们拥有可信的神学答案，并且智能问答助手以诚信行事，不超出这个范围，这一点很重要。”当用户试图突破该应用程序的边界时，它会将用户引导至真人支持——这是大多数大型语言模型AI工具拒绝实施的一项功能。
"Now, it's not trying to pretend it's a person or anything like that. It is just trained on our library, and then helping Christians to trust the answers, and [it] will only go so far," he said. "And again, I think that's an important guard as well. Because for us, making sure that we have trusted theological answers and that the intelligent answer assistant is acting with integrity and not going outside of that." When a user pushes the boundaries of the application, it directs them to real human support — a feature most large language model AI tools refuse to implement.
“因此，我们为它设定了一个沙盒，让它在其中工作，任何时候有人试图将其推向边界之外，我们都会将其引导或转交给真人。想想看吧，”拉森说。
"And so we've given it a sandbox to work within, and any time that somebody tries to push it beyond the borders, we're going to deflect or defer to a real human. Imagine that," Larson said.
例如，如果用户在Grow中讨论自杀倾向，这个智能问答助手会将他们引导至自杀热线或其他现实世界资源。
For example, if a user discusses suicidality in Grow, the intelligent answer assistant will direct them to the suicide hotline or other real-world resources.
过去几年来，自杀死亡事件频发，受害者家属称AI聊天机器人至少部分应负责任。去年有一起案例，一名名叫亚当·雷恩的青少年在ChatGPT上讨论自杀念头数月后自杀。根据其父母提起的诉讼，该聊天机器人向他提供了自杀方法的信息，认可了自杀计划的某些方面，并提出帮助他起草自杀遗书。ChatGPT的母公司OpenAI对此描述提出异议，并称该聊天机器人多次将他引导至危机资源。
BISHOP ROBERT BARRON: POPE LEO SEES THE AI AGE CLEARLY — AND WARNS WE MUST SAVE OUR SOULS Over the past several years, there have been a flurry of suicide deaths that victims' family members say AI chatbots were at least partially responsible. In one case from last year, a teenager named Adam Raine took his own life after months of discussing his suicidal thoughts on ChatGPT. According to a lawsuit from his parents, the chatbot provided him information about methods of suicide, validated aspects of planning the suicide and offered to help him draft a suicide note. OpenAI, ChatGPT's parent company, disputes the characterization and says the chatbot directed him to crisis resources multiple times.
“所以，我们理解提供安全护栏很重要，但我们也不希望这个智能问答助手假装自己是人，”拉森说。“我们不希望它取代牧师、当地教会长老，甚至父母。”拉森表示，开发AI的公司需要为其技术考虑护栏。
"So, we understood that it's important to provide safety guardrails, but also we did not want this intelligent answer assistant to pretend that it was a person," said Larson. "We don't want it to take the place of a pastor or a local church elder or even a parent." Larson said companies developing AI need to consider guardrails for their technology.
“当今任何开发人工智能工具的人都需要考虑伦理准则，这更多是我们一直在谈论的自我监管和护栏，”他说。
"Anybody developing AI tools today needs to think through ethical guidelines, and that's more of the self-regulation and guardrails that we've been talking about," he said.
“我认为今天存在真正的担忧，因为巨大的权力被托付给了这些不同的公司，而它们并没有真正披露自己的世界观，”他继续说道。“它们如何分辨对错？”对于利戈尼尔来说，其人工智能模型所建立的绝对真理是基督教信仰。
"I think there's a real concern today because you have great power that's been entrusted to these different companies and they're not really disclosing their worldview," he continued. "How do they know right from wrong?" For Ligonier, the absolute truth upon which its AI model is built is the Christian faith.
“你如何判断什么是对什么是错？作为基督徒，我们相信我们有一个真正的答案——一个我们可以求助的来源。”如果你或你认识的人有自杀念头，请联系国家自杀预防热线988或1-800-273-TALK（8255）。
"How are you determining what is right and wrong? As Christians, we believe we have a true answer — a source that we can turn to." If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
