Reid Hoffman: 我认为,人类面临的生存风险是一个投资组合,包括流行病、小行星撞击、核武器和气候变化等。即使未经修改,AI也能对这个组合产生积极影响,因为它能帮助我们更快地应对流行病、识别小行星、应对气候变化等。 关于超级赋能,我认为数百万人都能接触到提升型技术,从而提升个人能力和改变社会。这类似于汽车的普及,它不仅提升了个人出行能力,也改变了医疗、物流等行业。AI的普及也会带来类似的改变,它将提升每个人的能力,而不是让人类失去自主性。 关于AI的未来,我认为存在四种观点:末日论者认为AI将毁灭人类;悲观论者认为AI会带来负面影响,但不可避免;乐观论者认为AI会带来积极影响;平衡论者认为AI既有积极影响也有负面影响,需要谨慎发展。我属于平衡论者,我认为AI的发展应该谨慎,但不能停止。 大型计算机的出现也曾引发类似的担忧,但如今,强大的计算能力已经普及到每个人手中。AI的普及也会类似,即使存在一些差异,但最终会惠及大众。 AI可以帮助我们应对各种挑战,例如医疗保健、教育、法律援助等。即使AI技术没有进一步改进,对如今20岁的年轻人来说,其终身价值也高达数百万美元。 创新是安全的保障,加速AI发展才能更好地应对潜在风险。AI可以帮助我们解决就业转型、信息安全等问题。 AI不会完全取代人类的自主性,它会改变我们的生活方式,但最终会提升我们的生活质量。美国应该积极拥抱AI,将美国价值观融入AI发展中,并采取更积极的监管措施。AI技术不会停滞不前,其发展速度很快。 Ryan Sean Adams: 加密货币赋予我们所有权,而AI赋予我们掌控自身命运的能力。AI的普及将类似于互联网和手机的普及,将会广泛应用于大众。
