Reid Hoffman: 我认为在危机中寻找机会是进步的动力。面对危机,我们应该为重建做准备,并利用技术尽可能地化险为夷。以积极的态度面对问题,是正确的前进方向。人们对AI的恐惧,核心是对人类自主性的担忧。但技术实际上增强了人类的自主性,虽然会失去一些,但会获得更多。大型科技公司都在大力承诺使用绿色能源,并投资于新的绿色能源公司。数据中心革命正在为清洁能源提供风险投资,这将使所有其他用途也能使用绿色能源。人工智能可以提高应用领域的效率,将人工智能应用于气候和能源领域,可以提高能源效率。更好的人工智能可以帮助人们更有效地开发其他能源技术,例如核聚变。我对人工智能在应对气候变化方面的积极作用持乐观态度。 Rana El-Khalioubi: 人工智能既消耗能源,导致二氧化碳排放,又能带来气候解决方案。将人工智能定位为气候的净正面或净负面影响过于简单化。如果我们投资于新的、更可持续的能源,并在人工智能技术堆栈中进行创新,以构建更环保的人工智能,并继续开发能够重塑我们与环境关系的人工智能技术,我希望我们能够看到改变。
