9月,特朗普曾在联合国大会上提出为AI更名的议题,称“人工这个词显得虚假,听上去虚假,可实际上并非如此,而是非常棒”。
此后,特朗普还签署行政命令要求政府机构使用这一新概念。
芝加哥大学市场学教授杜博(Jean-Pierre Dube)分析说,白宫担心针对人工智能(AI)及数据中心的担忧可能扼杀经济增长这一核心引擎,并将科技领先地位拱手让给中国。但更改名字的做法可能只是一厢情愿。
“超级智能”更可怕?
特朗普甚至在其社交平台Truth Social上发起了问卷调查,结果,“超级智能”(super intelligence)击败了另一选项“优越智能”(superior intelligence)。
法新社报道说,美国民众认为,特朗普对人工智能的热情过于高涨。许多美国人使用人工智能,但对其安全后果以及对就业的威胁不无忧虑。巨型数据中心的建设也引发担忧。
昆尼皮亚克大学新近的一项调查显示,近四分之一选民对于特朗普的人工智能立场感到满意,58%感到不满意。
市场学教授杜博说:“倘若我们认为‘人工’一词会引发恐惧,那‘超级’听上去更令人担忧了。”
康奈尔大学历史学者克莱恩(Ronald Kline)表示,“超级智能”意味着不再仅仅是模仿人类,而是超越了人类的智力。
人工智能一词诞生于1956年,当时达特茅斯学院举办一场夏季研讨会。来自不同背景的学者——数学家、心理学家、工程师希望电脑能像人类一样“思考”。当时的电脑还是巨大的计算机器。
人工智能行业如何反应?
法新社报道说,ChatGPT无须按照特朗普的行政命令更改说法,因该行政命令仅针对联邦部门有效。不过,该行业已有一些高管跟随总统的说法。
美联社曾经因拒绝将“墨西哥湾”改称“美国湾”而受到特朗普的抨击。
马斯克则对“超级智能”这一新名称十分赞成,在其X帖文中使用该概念。
一位华盛顿的工业游说人士向法新社表示,预计业界将采取务实的做法。“我估计,在必要时,比如与政府沟通时,会使用这个词。坚持用AI而不是超级智能,不值得。”
