Topics
David Remnick：人工智能可能导致大规模失业，以及对民主的潜在威胁。他强调了在人工智能发展早期阶段制定适当规章制度的重要性，避免重蹈社交媒体的覆辙。 Sam Altman：承认人工智能可能导致某些工作岗位消失，但他认为大多数人仍然会有工作，因为工作性质和社会需求会随着科技进步而改变。他主张通过诸如普遍基本收入等经济政策来应对这种变化，并强调国际合作在规范人工智能发展中的重要性，以确保其益处能够公平地分配给世界各地的人们。他还认为，人工智能是一个强大的工具，可以极大地提高人类的能力，但同时也需要对人工智能进行约束，以避免其被滥用。他认为，当前的人工智能系统是一个处理文本的系统，而不是一个有自主意识的生物，但他也承认，未来人工智能可能具有自主意识，这需要引起警惕。 Yoshua Bengio：对人工智能的快速发展表示担忧，认为其可能在短期内扰乱民主，长期内可能导致对人工智能的失控。他认为，需要一个适应性强的监管框架，并由专家而非政治家来制定具体的规范，以保护公众利益。他还强调了国际合作在规范人工智能发展中的重要性，以避免灾难性后果。他认为，将人工智能用于军事用途存在严重的道德风险，可能导致大规模的危险后果。 David Remnick: 人工智能的快速发展令人担忧，其潜在的风险与核武器或疫情相当。一些人工智能领域的先驱者也对人工智能技术发展速度感到担忧，甚至认为不受控制的人工智能可能与核武器或疫情一样危险。

Shownotes Transcript

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, says that AI is a powerful tool that will streamline human work and quicken the pace of scientific advancement  But ChatGPT has both enthralled and terrified us, and even some of AI’s pioneers are freaked out by it – by how quickly the technology has advanced.  David Remnick talks with Altman, and with computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, who won the prestigious Turing Award for his work in 2018, but recently signed an open letter calling for a moratorium on some AI research until regulation can be implemented. The stakes, Bengio says, are high. “I believe there is a non-negligible risk that this kind of technology, in the short term, could disrupt democracies.”
