联合国荷兰关于禁止人工智能控制核武器的提议竟遭美国反对

摘要：It's still a prototype, it was 3D printed, and it utilizes artificial intelligence.

Since the dawn of homework, many a student has dreamed of having a homework machine.

自作业诞生以来，无数学生都梦想拥有一台作业机器。

And while the latest addition to an engineering school in France isn't exactly that, it is something intended to help students along in their lessons.

尽管法国某工程学院最新引入的并非此类设备，但它旨在辅助学生学习。

This is Milo.

这是Milo。

It's still a prototype, it was 3D printed, and it utilizes artificial intelligence.

这仍是一个原型，采用3D打印技术制造，并运用了人工智能技术。

but not the kind that processes your questions and comes up with the answers for you.

但并非那种处理你的问题并为你提供答案的类型。

What Milo does is transcribe the instructor's lesson into text, and later, through their computers, students can ask the chatbot about what was taught.

Milo的功能是将教师的授课内容转录成文字，随后，学生通过电脑就能向聊天机器人询问所学内容。

So, it's more like a professor recapping details about her lecture than it is chat GPT.

因此，它更像是一位教授在回顾她讲座的细节，而非ChatGPT那样的聊天机器人。

This comes amid an unusual challenge in education.

这正值教育领域面临一项非同寻常的挑战之际。

In grade school, French education officials, like many in the U.S., consider using AI as cheating if it's not assigned by a teacher.

在小学阶段，法国教育官员和美国许多教育工作者一样，认为未经教师指定而使用人工智能属于作弊行为。

But at this university in Paris, officials wanted to find a way to incorporate the technology, though not in a way that has it do the thinking for you.

但在巴黎的这所大学，校方希望找到一种方法将这项技术融入教学，但并非以替代思考的方式。

3DNatives.com, an online media platform, says Milo still has glitches and is sometimes slow to respond.

在线媒体平台3DNatives.com指出，Milo目前仍存在一些故障，偶尔响应速度较慢。

But as the technology is refined, it may become like a TA who's available to guide students thinking at hours when the human instructors are asleep.

但随着技术的完善，它可能会像一位助教，在人类教师休息时，依然能在深夜指导学生的思考。

Hi, I'm Carl Azuz for the world from A to Z. AI also factors into our next story this Friday, but it's about something more consequential than Milo.

大家好，我是Carl Azuz，为您带来“环球纵横” 节目。本周五的报道中，人工智能依然是焦点，但这次的话题比Milo更为重大。

It's about a proposed ban on artificial intelligence when it comes to controlling nuclear weapons.

文章涉及一项关于禁止人工智能控制核武器的提议。

During the ongoing meeting of the United Nations in New York, the leader of the Netherlands asked U.N. members to sign a new legally binding agreement to keep nukes under human control.

在纽约举行的联合国会议期间，荷兰领导人呼吁联合国成员签署一项新的具有法律约束力的协议，以确保核武器处于人类控制之下。

Why?

为什么？

The Netherlands says the use of these weapons requires moral, legal and strategic considerations that people should be making, and that these considerations go beyond what AI is capable of.

荷兰表示，使用这些武器需要进行道德、法律和战略层面的考量，这些应由人类来决定，而非人工智能所能胜任。

The U.N.'s leadership agreed, saying computer technology needs guardrails, and that the organization's 193 member countries should commit to this by next year.

联合国领导层对此表示认同，称计算机技术需要防护措施，并呼吁该组织193个成员国最迟在明年承诺遵守这一原则。

But the United States, a founding member of the United Nations and its biggest contributor, rejected the proposal.

然而, 作为联合国创始成员国和最大出资国的美国, 却对这一提议表示反对。

Why?

为什么？

Well, the U.S. government says it agrees that misusing AI can lead to instability and problems around the world.

美国政府表示，他们认同滥用人工智能可能导致全球不稳定和问题。

What it doesn't want is an organization like the U.N. controlling artificial intelligence and determining how it's used.

它不希望的是由联合国这样的组织来管控人工智能并决定其使用方式。

The Trump administration's stance is that American companies need the freedom to develop AI to, quote, the highest standards and to be able to share the technology with other countries.

特朗普政府认为，美国企业需要自由地开发人工智能，以达到最高标准，并能够与其它国家共享这项技术。

So, if this U.N. meeting results in a ban on A.I. and nuclear weapons, it appears the U.S. won't be part of the agreement.

因此，若此次联合国会议促成人工智能与核武器的禁令，美国似乎不会加入这一协定。
