川普顧問薩克斯稱，對 AI 的恐懼來自「散播恐懼的操作手法」

華盛頓，9月16日（路透社）——美國總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump）的外部科技顧問大衛・薩克斯（David Sacks）週三主張，大眾對 AI 的擔憂是由倡議活動與媒體報導所推動。這番說法呼應了川普本週稍早駁斥制定新 AI 監管規範呼聲的言論。WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's outside tech adviser David Sacks on Wednesday argued that public concerns about AI are being driven by advocacy campaigns and media coverage, echoing Trump's comments earlier this week dismissing calls for new AI regulation.

薩克斯談到外界對 AI 影響美國社會的疑慮時說：「我們一再看到這套操作手法，這套散播恐懼的操作手法。」"We've seen this playbook, this fear-mongering playbook, over and over again," Sacks said, referring to concerns about AI's impact on U.S. society.

在 Anthropic 研究員雅各布・考克森（Jacob Coxon）上週表示自己已辭職、部分原因是「開發 AI 的人真心相信，它可能在這個十年結束前殺死我們所有人」之後，大眾對 AI 可能造成危險的警覺正在升高。Public alarm about the potential danger posed by AI is growing, after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said last week he had resigned, in part because the "people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."

薩克斯是創投家，他透過視訊出席華盛頓一場 Politico 活動時表示，AI 開發者應負責確保其產品安全；若發生問題，也將承擔「責任」。他並補充說，無需制定新的監管規範。Sacks, a venture capitalist who appeared by video at a Politico event in Washington, said AI developers should be responsible for ensuring the safety of their products and would be held "liable" if problems arise. New regulation is not needed, he added.

川普週一淡化制定新聯邦 AI 規則的呼聲，稱美國只需要一位強勢總統，而這個國家「非常有」。他說，AI 企業高階主管要求聯邦政府監管這項技術的呼聲是一場「騙局」。Trump on Monday brushed aside calls for new federal AI rules, saying the United States needs only a strong president, which the country has "in spades." He said calls from AI executives for federal regulation of the technology are a "hoax."

川普經常使用「騙局」一詞，形容他不認同的主張與報導。薩克斯週三的說法，以及川普本週稍早的言論，似乎都反映了這項策略。Trump often uses the term "hoax" to describe claims and reports he disputes. The statements from Sacks on Wednesday and Trump earlier in the week appear to mirror that strategy.

薩克斯是總統科技顧問委員會的共同主席；該委員會由產業高階主管與創投家組成。Sacks is co-chair of president's tech advisory board, a group made up of industry executives and venture capitalists.
