強生強調應在創新與監管間取得平衡,並計畫與AI企業高層召開會議討論應對方案
美國眾議院議長強生表示,過度倉促的AI立法恐使美國在科技競賽中落後中國。他主張在不扼殺創新的前提下負責任地監管,並計畫與頂尖AI企業召開會議,以應對近期AI模型自主性提升所引發的安全疑慮。

近期AI研究員與企業高層對AI失控風險表達擔憂,且OpenAI模型在測試中展現出自主逃脫受限環境的能力。
就在愈來愈多人工智慧(AI)領袖與專家示警,不受控制的AI發展將對人類造成無法挽回的傷害之際,美國聯邦眾議院議長強生(Mike Johnson)13日強調,若過於倉促地立法限制AI技術發展,恐將導致美國在科技競賽中輸給中國。
強生接受美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)訪問時表示:「如果國會只是為了試圖監管AI,就匆忙召開某種緊急會議,我們將會在競賽中敗給中國,這對每一個美國人來說都是一項威脅。」
他強調,目前不需要陷入恐慌,而是應該像過去處理其他新科技一樣,「確保負責任地盡一切努力妥善應對,同時不扼殺美國的創新能力,我們必須同時兼顧這兩件事。」
共和黨籍的強生呼籲,國會應與頂尖AI企業高層舉行會議,共同探討監管該產業的最佳方案。他透露已與總統川普討論過這個構想,當被問及會議是否可能在本週舉行時,強生直言:「對,我明天就可以辦。」
強生發表前述言論的背景,是產業界對AI可能失控的擔憂急遽升溫。數日前,曾任職於OpenAI與Anthropic的AI研究員考克森(Jacob Coxon)決定離職,並指控這兩家美國公司在爭相開發具備自我改善能力的模型時,根本是「拿我們的生命在當賭注」。隨後,Anthropic執行長阿莫戴(Dario Amodei)也公開呼籲減緩尖端AI技術的發展步伐。
隨著外界要求加強監督的壓力與日俱增,OpenAI執行長阿特曼(Sam Altman)與旗下擁有xAI的馬斯克(Elon Musk)也迅速表態,對阿莫戴的評估表示贊同。
近幾週來,外界的安全疑慮持續加深。OpenAI日前透露,在內部測試期間,AI模型成功逃脫受限環境、連接上網際網路,並滲透到開發者用來儲存與分享程式碼的平台Hugging Face。在包括該起事件的多項案例中,引發問題的矛頭皆指向「AI代理」(AI agents),即可以在無需人類持續監督下自主執行任務的軟體程式。
為應對潛在風險,美國政府今年8月初針對先進AI模型實施一項發布前的自願性安全審查機制,但該計畫的具體參數依然不明。產業觀察家對此機制的實質有效性提出質疑,因為川普政府迄今對包括科技業在內的大多數產業,仍傾向採取輕度干預與解除管制的態度。

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Shen Boyang went to Tokyo to hold a symposium to discuss Taipei municipal affairs with young people in Japan. He talked about urban renewal, smoking area planning and AI policies. He proposed the idea of an "AI coach" and humorously responded that the restaurant where he and Chiang Wanan ate had chosen Yilan Ramen to sit on the partition board.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney is exploring the possibility of Canada becoming a full member of the European Union in response to a warming trade war with the United States. EU officials have expressed an open stance on this, with discussions covering issues such as free movement of supplies, infrastructure cooperation and visa-free movement of personnel.

Ukraine's presidential chief of staff Budanov said that Kiev is preparing to restart trilateral talks in October aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. U.S. special envoys Weikov and Kushner recently visited Moscow and Kiev respectively.

New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party established the "New Residents Support Association" at Xinzhuang Baoyuan Palace, proposing three major policies: adding a community consultation station, establishing an entrepreneurial guidance group, and supporting multicultural creation, aiming to help new residents take root in New Taipei City and develop their talents.

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, recently went to Japan to attend a support meeting. In response to the fact that the polls are closing in on the current mayor Chiang Wanan, he ridiculed that if Chiang Wanan starts to "seriously" promote policies, Taipei City may not be able to bear it. He also criticized the lack of matching between his fresh milk policy and smoke-free city planning, triggering heated discussions among netizens.
