Topics
Reid Hoffman: 我认为,虽然科技进步带来了信息民主化,但社会不平等和社会流动性却在增加,这并非科技本身的问题,而是社会如何利用科技的问题。我们应该关注的是否大多数人的能力、收入和生活水平是否得到提升,而不是仅仅关注不平等现象本身。政府应该利用人工智能来改善医疗保健、教育和职业转型,帮助普通人适应工作生活的变化。我们应该与人工智能公司合作,开发能够帮助普通人应对工作生活变化的工具,而不是限制人工智能的发展。衡量人工智能是否成功,应该关注人们的生活质量指标,以及人们如何应对转型带来的挑战。人工智能时代创造了新的就业机会,年轻人应该学习如何利用人工智能来提升自身竞争力。人工智能革命将带来巨大的生产力提升和财富增长,但转型过程也会充满挑战。我们需要学习如何更好地应对转型过程中的挑战。人们对硅谷的误解在于过分强调其疯狂和冒险的一面,而忽略了其积极的创新和变革潜力。硅谷的巨大野心和冒险精神,虽然有时令人担忧,但也能带来积极的改变和进步。人工智能可以降低医疗保健成本,让更多人能够获得医疗服务。特朗普的当选并没有改变我对人工智能的乐观态度。美国可能在人工智能技术方面领先,但在社会凝聚力方面却面临挑战。美国“先斩后奏”的文化有利于创新,但也可能导致社会混乱和凝聚力不足。极端两极分化对社会有害,媒体应该促进社会共识和理性讨论。媒体应该坚持事实和理性,避免传播虚假信息。人工智能擅长角色扮演,可以帮助人们更好地思考问题,找到解决问题的方案。不要被动地依赖人工智能,而应该积极主动地利用人工智能来学习和思考。越长越深入的提示,通常会得到越好的答案。学习和掌握有效的提示技巧,是充分利用人工智能的关键。人工智能可以应用于生活的各个方面,人们应该积极探索人工智能的更多可能性。人工智能可以帮助父母更好地了解孩子,促进家庭沟通。市场机制并不能解决所有问题,政府需要介入以纠正市场失灵,保护弱势群体。政府需要与企业合作,利用人工智能改善公共服务,解决社会问题。 Karl Miller: 在与Reid Hoffman的对话中,我提出了一个严峻的问题:在过去20年中,尽管出现了一系列民主化技术,但社会不平等和社会流动性却大幅下降。我们如何才能解决这个难题?

Shownotes Transcript

Reid Hoffman is one of the world’s most influential and successful entrepreneurs. The co-founder of LinkedIn, Manas AI, Inflection AI and part of the original team at PayPal, he has built companies that have shaped the internet and AI revolutions of the twenty-first century. As part of Reid’s staunch commitment to Democracy, he was a supporter of Kamala Harris in the 2024 US election.

In March 2025, Hoffman returned to the Intelligence Squared stage to discuss how AI is rapidly changing our world and how we can use it inclusively to improve our lives and create positive change. Drawing from the themes of his new book *Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right with Our AI Future, *he acknowledged the challenges of disinformation and dislocation in the jobs market but argued that we need to be optimistic about the immense potential of AI to increase individual agency and create better outcomes for society as a whole.

Hoffman argued that we must embrace AI’s most important opportunities: AI tutors that can personalise education for each student; machines that can rapidly discover cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer; and AI-crafted inventions that can prevent climate catastrophe. Hoffman set out a positive vision for an AI world where these possibilities, and many more, become a reality.
