已故的斯蒂芬·霍金坚持这一点 the development of artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.

While my position is not that extreme (not saying that Professor Hawking is wrong), 我相信有太多的社交, political and economic costs that can manifest if AI development progresses along its present trajectory without strong regulation. These harmful possibilities have been widely discussed in academic and technical communities for years now, but it is important to broaden this discourse to promote better awareness and understanding before it becomes impossible to reverse the damage, specifically due to AI’s promising and wide-reaching potential. More importantly, it is also time for policymakers and lawmakers to act.

Society as we know is really good at jumping on bandwagons, 特别是在高收入机会的地方, 其中涉及到新奇和娱乐. AI ticks all these boxes, hence we have seen the likes of OpenAI and ChatGPT dominate the news cycles in recent months. 同时, the investment in AI-based technologies has skyrocketed, 与微软, 谷歌, IBM, 英特尔投资, Softbank Group and numerous venture capitalists liberally opening their checkbooks. 在那之前, 区块链和虚拟世界风靡一时, 获得类似的关注和投资, 但社会效益有限.

人工智能的风险和危险

最近, the Italian data protection authority banned the use of the advanced chatbot ChatGPT. The regulator said that the platform had been compromised and user conversations and payment information were subject to unauthorized access. They also strongly argued that there was no legal basis to support "the mass collection and storage of personal data for the purpose of 'training' the algorithms underlying the operation of the platform." 

几天前, 几个行业领导者, 包括埃隆·马斯克, 需要对这些类型的 人工智能系统将被暂停, expressing fears that current development was out of control.

关于谁在开发AI的问题和讨论, 为了什么目的?, and what risks and dangers are involved are critical to protecting society against the harms of “bad AI” and to 产生数字信任. 一些关键问题如下:

  • There is no legal basis for the large-scale processing of personal data in AI platforms.
  • AI systems are being increasingly leveraged in propaganda and fake news.
  • Bad actors are weaponizing AI systems in more sophisticated cyberattacks (e.g., advanced malware, stealthier ransomware, more effective phishing techniques, deep fakes, etc.)
  • 到目前为止, no independent privacy and security audits of AI systems are available to corporate or individual users.
  • The use of autonomous weapons systems powered by AI has become a reality.
  • AI systems are prone to bias and discrimination (garbage in; garbage out), 将少数民族澳门赌场官方下载置于进一步的危险之中.
  • The challenges with regards to intellectual property abuse/misuse are extremely high.
  • Legislation and regulation are always behind technology advancement (law lag). 目前, there are no rules or general recourse to protect against negative outcomes of AI—especially around liability.
  • There are threats to democracy in terms of amplifying the “echo chambers” and social manipulation already prevalent in many social platforms.
  • AI systems can be used in foreign or corporate espionage.
  • Algorithmic (AI-based) trading can result in future financial crises.
  • There is potential for widespread loss of jobs due to AI automation.

推动负责任和道德地使用人工智能

There is no doubt that AI can and will deliver numerous benefits. 话虽如此, the promise of this technology will not be sufficiently realized without a robust framework of laws and regulations. 一些国家一直在关注人工智能监管以及美国和欧盟 have seemingly aligned on what measures are most critical to control the unmitigated proliferation of artificial intelligence. While this suggests that some AI technologies may be banned, it does not prevent researchers and corporations from continuing their work in the field. 话虽如此, AI regulation cannot be knee-jerk and alarmist; it must be pro-innovation and flexible in terms of deciding where AI is beneficial and where it is problematic.

负责任地、合乎道德地使用人工智能是关键. 从澳门赌场官方下载的角度来看, business leaders need to articulate why they are planning to use AI and how it will benefit individuals. 公司应该 制定政策和标准 for monitoring algorithms and enhancing data governance and be transparent with the results of AI algorithms. 澳门赌场官方下载领导应该 建立和定义公司价值观和人工智能指导方针, creating frameworks for determining acceptable uses of AI technologies.

Achieving the delicate balance between innovation and human-centered design is the optimal approach for developing responsible technology and guaranteeing that AI delivers on its promise for this and future generations. Discussions of the risks and harms of artificial intelligence should always be front and center, so leaders can find solutions to deliver the technology with human, social and economic benefits as core underlying principles.
