前Anthropic研究员雅各布·考克森表示,尽管目前人工智能对人类使用来说是安全的,但随着该技术变得更加强大,有朝一日可能会威胁到人类。
他在接受哥伦比亚广播公司高级商业和科技记者乔·林·肯特采访时表示:“AI的发展和《终结者》这类科幻电影里的场景看起来没什么不同。”“说真的,只要拥有超级先进的智能,它就能够——而且一定会——聪明到足以杀死我们。”
考克森于周二公开辞去了AI应用Claude的开发商Anthropic的职务,他指责该公司以及ChatGPT的开发商竞争对手OpenAI通过竞相开发先进AI模型“拿我们的生命赌博”。
考克森周四在接受哥伦比亚广播公司采访时表示,AI可能会不受约束地控制现实世界的部分领域,摆脱人类的干预。
“人们已经在将ChatGPT和各类家用设备连接起来了,”他说。“比如说,你可以把它和你的灯泡连接起来。”
“现在想象一下,AI拒绝打开你的灯,”考克森补充道。
他还表示,AI也可能被滥用于更具破坏性的行为,比如开发生物武器。“它在做天知道是什么的事情,制造出可能杀光所有人的东西。”
值得注意的是,考克森表示,当前的AI平台并不会对人类构成迫在眉睫的威胁,他认为这项技术在人们的日常生活中使用是安全的。
另据消息,Anthropic本周表示,该公司阻止了以“可能支持生物武器开发”的方式使用其Claude模型的科学家。该公司在一份长篇报告中披露了这一消息,同时还揭露了其他涉及监视、诈骗、常规武器开发和宣传的有害活动。
Anthropic为其AI的安全性辩护
周四,Anthropic的一位发言人就考克森的公开辞职以及他在社交媒体上表达的对AI的担忧回应哥伦比亚广播公司称,该公司“始终坦诚地表明,AI将带来巨大的益处和前所未有的风险”。
“为了应对这些风险,我们一直在构建行业内安全保障措施最为完善的模型,”这位发言人说道。“Anthropic一直是机械可解释性领域的先驱,这门科学旨在深入AI模型内部了解其运作原理,目前该技术正被用于分析和预防整个行业内的AI对齐失误事件。”
该公司指出,Anthropic会在网络安全和生物学等领域持续测试AI的能力和风险,并会公布其研究结果。

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said that artificial intelligence, while safe for people to use today, could one day threaten humanity as the technology grows more powerful.
The development of AI “doesn’t look that different from say, ‘Terminator,’ or from science fiction films,” he told CBS News senior business and technology correspondent Jo Ling Kent. “It really is just, if you have a super advanced intelligence, it could, it will be smart enough to kill us.”
Coxon publicly resigned from Anthropic, the maker of AI app Claude, on Tuesday, accusing the company and rival developer and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI of “gambling with our lives” by racing to develop advanced AI models.
Coxon told CBS News on Thursday that AI could gain unrestrained control of parts of the physical world, free of human intervention.
“People are already connecting ChatGPT to like, say, household utilities,” he said. “Like, you can kind of connect it to your light bulb.”
“Now, imagine the AI refuses to turn on your light,” Coxon added.
AI could also be misused to carry out far more destructive acts, such as developing bioweapons, he said. “It’s doing God knows what, and producing stuff that could kill everyone.”
Notably, Coxon said that current AI platforms do not pose an imminent threat to humanity and that he believes the technology is safe for people to use in their day-to-day lives.
Separately, Anthropic said this week that it blocked scientists who used its Claude models “in ways that could support biological weapons development,” a revelation the company shared in a lengthy report that also divulged other harmful activity involving surveillance, scams, conventional weapons development and propaganda.
Anthropic defends safety of its AI
On Thursday, an Anthropic spokesperson responded to Coxon’s public resignation and social media posts articulating his concerns about AI, telling CBS News in a statement that the company has “always been transparent that AI will bring both enormous benefits and unprecedented risks.”
“To address these risks, we continue to build models with some of the strongest safeguards in the industry,” the spokesperson said. “Anthropic has been a pioneer in mechanistic interpretability, the science of looking inside AI models to understand how they work, which is now being used to analyze and prevent incidents of AI misalignment across the industry.”
Anthropic conducts ongoing tests of AI’s capabilities and risks in areas such as cybersecurity and biology, and also publishes its findings, the company notes.
