我是一位普利策奖得主记者,在过去一年中深入研究了人工智能领域,撰写了新书《AI Valley》。我的观点是,人工智能技术的发展并非一帆风顺,经历了漫长的探索和多次错误,最终在机器学习和神经网络方面取得突破。OpenAI发布ChatGPT标志着人工智能商业化的开始,类似于Netscape浏览器对互联网的影响。虽然人工智能技术在医疗、教育等领域具有巨大潜力,但我们也必须认识到其局限性,例如缺乏常识和真正的理解能力。当前的人工智能技术类似于'随机鹦鹉',能够模仿但缺乏真正的理解。此外,人工智能技术的发展也存在商业利益与客观研究之间的冲突,以及商业利益凌驾于安全考虑之上的风险。我们需要关注如何避免商业利益影响客观性,以及如何确保人工智能技术用于造福人类,而非加剧社会不平等。人工智能技术将取代许多工作岗位,尤其是在知识型工作领域,这需要我们提前做好准备,并探索更利于公众利益的应用和监管方式。当前人工智能领域的竞争目标是创造价值数万亿美元的产品,这使得商业利益成为主要驱动力,而安全和伦理问题往往被忽视。过度依赖人工智能可能导致人们丧失某些基本技能,但同时也会带来新的能力。人工智能技术具有两面性,既可以用于创造,也可以用于破坏。我们需要更多地关注人工智能在现实生活中带来的潜在风险,而非好莱坞式的末日场景。人工智能模型的训练数据会反映出社会中的偏见,可能导致人工智能模型也存在偏见。我们需要探索更利于公众利益的应用和监管方式,以确保人工智能技术能够造福全人类。人工智能的能源消耗巨大,需要引起重视。

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Rivlin spent more than a year in the Bay Area shadowing the founders and venture capitalists vying to make big money off of generative AI. And in his new book “AI Valley,” Rivlin takes readers inside both the AI startups and the tech giants like Microsoft, Meta and Google trying to keep up. He chronicles the figures and breakthroughs of generative AI’s recent history – in order to better predict and understand its future. Rivlin’s new book is “AI Valley: Microsoft, Google, and the Trillion-Dollar Race to Cash In on Artificial Intelligence.”
