"AI危局对话：OpenAI首席与美众议院议长激辩未来路"

WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met Republican U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson on Capitol Hill on Thursday and the two discussed the risks of artificial intelligence, the lawmaker's office and the ChatGPT maker's boss said.

路透华盛顿1月11日电 - 议员办公室和 ChatGPT 制造商老板表示，OpenAI 首席执行官山姆·奥尔特曼周四在国会山会见了共和党众议院议长麦克·约翰逊，两人讨论了人工智能的风险。

The administration of Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden has been pressing lawmakers for AI regulation, but a polarized U.S. Congress, where Republicans control the House and Democrats have a Senate majority, has made little headway in passing effective regulation.

美国民主党总统乔·拜登的政府一直在向立法者施压，要求对人工智能进行监管，但美国国会两极分化，共和党控制众议院，民主党控制参议院，导致通过有效监管方面几乎没有取得任何进展。

The rise of AI has fed a host of concerns, including the fear that it could be used to disrupt the democratic process, turbocharge fraud or lead to job loss, among other harms. Europe is ahead of the U.S. on regulations around AI, with lawmakers there drafting AI rules.

人工智能的兴起引发了一系列担忧，包括担心它可能被用来扰乱民主进程、加剧欺诈或导致失业等危害。欧洲在人工智能监管方面领先于美国，欧洲立法者正在起草人工智能法规。

The two met on Thursday "to discuss the promise and risks of AI and other technologies. The Speaker believes that Congress should encourage innovation, help maintain our competitive edge, and stay mindful of potential risks," Johnson's office said in a statement.

约翰逊办公室在一份声明中表示，两人周四会面，“讨论人工智能和其他技术的前景和风险。议长认为国会应该鼓励创新，帮助保持我们的竞争优势，并时刻警惕潜在的风险。”

Altman told reporters they discussed "trying to balance this sort of tremendous upside and figure out how to mitigate the risk" of AI, adding he was "excited to see what the legislative process will do."

奥尔特曼告诉记者，他们讨论了“试图平衡这种巨大的优势，并找出如何减轻人工智能的风险”，并补充说，他“很高兴看到立法程序将做什么”。

Microsoft-backed (MSFT.O) OpenAI was founded as an open-source nonprofit, before co-founder Altman pivoted to a capped-profit structure in 2019.

微软(MSFT.O)支持的OpenAI 最初是一家开源非营利组织，联合创始人奥尔特曼在 2019 年转向了利润上限结构。

In November, Altman said Microsoft would take a non-voting, observer position on the company's board.

11 月，奥尔特曼表示，微软将在公司董事会中担任无投票权的观察员职位。

OpenAI ousted Altman on Nov. 17 without any detailed cause, setting off alarm bells among investors and employees. He was reinstated days later with the promise of a new board.

11 月 17 日，OpenAI在没有任何详细原因的情况下罢免了奥尔特曼，这在投资者和员工中敲响了警钟。几天后，他恢复了职务，并承诺成立一个新的董事会。

In October, Biden signed an executive order requiring developers of AI systems that pose risks to U.S. national security, economy and public safety to share results of safety tests with the federal government. The order goes beyond voluntary commitments AI companies had made this year.

10月，拜登签署了一项行政命令，要求对美国国家安全、经济和公共安全构成风险的人工智能系统开发商与联邦政府分享安全测试结果。该命令超出了人工智能公司今年做出的自愿承诺。
