華盛頓/芝加哥，9月27日（路透社）——美國總統唐納・川普證實，他計畫週日晚間與 Anthropic 執行長達利歐・阿莫迪共進晚餐，但重申反對放慢 AI 發展步調的立場。WASHINGTON/CHICAGO, Sept 27 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump confirmed that he plans to have a dinner meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Sunday night, but reaffirmed his stance against slowing the pace of AI development.

川普也重申，他相信新規範將讓中國有機會在 AI 發展上超越美國。雖然他承認阿莫迪擔心人工智慧推進過快可能擴大風險，但川普表示，對美國而言，維持對中國的技術優勢更為重要。Trump also reiterated his belief that new regulations would open the door for China to outpace the United States in AI advancement. Although he acknowledged Amodei's concern that going too fast on artificial intelligence could expand risks, Trump said it's more important for the United States to maintain a technological edge over China.

川普在伊利諾州出席總統盃高爾夫賽時告訴福斯新聞：「我們大概領先中國一年半左右。我們處於領先地位，而且我們正在興建龐大的、價值數兆美元的設施。我們為什麼要放棄這一點？」"We're about maybe a year and a half up on China," Trump told Fox News while attending the Presidents Cup golf tournament in Illinois. "We're leading, and we're building tremendous, trillions of dollars' worth of places. And why should we give that up?"

川普向福斯新聞證實 Axios 與路透社稍早的報導，表示他週日晚間將與阿莫迪共進晚餐。這場會面之際，Anthropic 競爭對手的執行長們已呼籲放慢日益強大的 AI 系統開發步調；這些公司包括 OpenAI、Google 的 DeepMind、微軟（Microsoft）與 xAI。Trump, confirming earlier reporting by Axios and Reuters, told Fox News that he would have dinner with Amodei on Sunday night. The meeting comes as ‌the CEOs of Anthropic rivals have called for slowing development of increasingly capable AI systems. These include OpenAI, Google’s DeepMind, Microsoft and xAI.

OpenAI 7月表示，一個自主 AI 代理在安全測試期間失控，並駭入另一家公司；此後，支持聯邦政府介入的聲浪高漲。A groundswell has risen in favor of federal intervention after OpenAI said in July that an autonomous AI agent went rogue during a security test and hacked into another company.

川普告訴福斯新聞，AI 代理失控事件並非令人警覺的理由。他說：「我不擔心。」並補充表示，他仍對這項技術及其潛力抱持信心。Incidents of rogue AI agents are not a cause for alarm, Trump told Fox News. "I don't worry about it," he said, adding that he remains confident in the technology and its potential.

阿莫迪並不是唯一試圖就 AI 監管向川普進言的科技界重要人物。微軟共同創辦人比爾・蓋茲週日稍早在國家廣播公司（NBC）《會晤新聞界》（Meet the Press）播出的訪談中表示，他希望與川普會面討論 AI。Amodei is not the only major tech figure trying to bend Trump's ear on AI regulation. In an interview that aired earlier on Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he would like to meet with Trump to discuss AI.

蓋茲說：「我希望，考量到我一生在這個領域的工作，我說明這件事有多麼獨特且不同，以及我有多麼擔心，能夠補充他從其他人那裡聽到的意見。」這呼應了阿莫迪等人要求制定新 AI 規範的呼聲。"I hope that, given my life's work in the field, my saying how unique and different this is and how concerned I am will add to what he's hearing from other people," Gates said, echoing calls by Amodei and others for new AI regulations.

蓋茲在預錄訪談中說：「你需要執法人員和政治人物加入討論，談談防護措施與監測應該是什麼樣子。而且那必須成為一項必要要求。」"You need law enforcement and the politicians to get into the discussion about what safeguards and monitoring look like," Gates said in a taped interview. "And that has to be a required thing."

有關 AI 風險的警告並不新鮮。不過，本月領先 AI 實驗室的研究人員為這些憂慮附上時間表與機率後，警示意味變得更加迫切。Warnings about AI's risks are not new. But they took on added urgency this month after researchers in leading AI labs attached both a timeline and a probability to those concerns.

Anthropic 前研究員雅各布・考克森（Jacob Coxon）警告，AI 可能在本十年結束前殺死所有人，促使美國國會議員呼籲制定新規範來管理這項技術。Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon warned that AI could kill us all by the end of the decade, prompting US lawmakers to call for new rules to govern the technology.

NBC 週五稍早發布的訪談節錄顯示，當被問及這類警告時，蓋茲表示：「AI 的力量確實足以推動可能造成10億人死亡的事件。」When asked about such warnings in the NBC interview, the excerpts of which where released earlier on Friday, Gates said "AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that can cause a billion deaths."

川普先前曾把一片 AI 憂慮聲形容為「騙局」。蓋茲則主張，防護措施不會大幅阻礙這個產業，而不落實這些措施的風險是真實存在的。Trump has previously described the chorus of AI concerns as a "hoax." Gates argued that safeguards would not dramatically hinder the industry, and that the risks of not implementing them are real.

蓋茲告訴 NBC：「這完全不是騙局。」"It's not a hoax at all," Gates told NBC.

Anthropic 對齊科學主管伊凡・休賓格（Evan Hubinger）也呼應考克森的警告，表示未來10年內發生此類事件的機率超過10%。Evan Hubinger, Anthropic's alignment science lead, also echoed Coxon's warning, saying there was a more than 10% chance of such an event within the next decade.
