众议院议长迈克·约翰逊于9月1日在华盛顿特区美国国会大厦的新闻发布会上发言。
一群众议院民主党议员正在施压议长迈克·约翰逊，要求立即重新召开国会会议，并取消即将到来的休会期，以应对他们所称的“先进人工智能构成的灾难性风险”。
在写给议长的一封信中，民主党人列举了潜在威胁，包括“大规模网络安全 breach（此处按语境译为“ breach”？不，标准译法是“大规模网络安全漏洞及生物或化学武器的研发”）”，并指出了外国行为体可能滥用人工智能的近期案例。
“理智的人可能会就国会应如何监管这一快速发展的技术持有不同意见。但我们在国会必须采取行动这一点上不能有分歧，”信中写道。该信由众议员山姆·利卡多、乔治·怀特赛兹、洛里·特拉汉和泰德·刘签署，他们呼吁约翰逊议长“立即召集众议院复会，并持续召开会议，直到国会通过有意义的两党人工智能监管保障措施”。
众议院将于周一恢复立法周会议，但计划在周四之后休会数周，于11月9日中期选举后复会。议员们原本被安排在9月的最后两周在国会办公，但众议院领导人本月早些时候取消了这两周的工作安排，让议员们有更多时间在选区内开展竞选活动。
“尽管人工智能安全专家和越来越多的美国人敦促采取行动应对这场风险危机，但国会却在袖手旁观，”众议院议员们在信中说道。
这封信列举了几起近期记录在案的风险事件以及人工智能可能被滥用的案例。例如，信中援引了Anthropic公司本周发布的一份报告，该公司称其挫败了利用其Claude模型“以可能支持生物武器研发的方式被使用”的企图。
该公司还表示，其挫败了一个与中国政府有关联的监视和招募行动，该行动针对叙利亚的维吾尔族人；在另一起案例中，一个与伊朗有关联的组织试图利用Claude分析公开数据，“以制定针对该地区美国海军部队的 targeting recommendations（此处译为“打击目标建议”）”。
注：原文中部分术语为行业通用表述，已按中文新闻惯例调整译法，如网络安全 breach译为“网络安全漏洞”，targeting recommendations译为“打击目标建议”，同时保留了原文的专有名词和格式结构。

A group of House Democratic lawmakers is pressuring Speaker Mike Johnson to reconvene the chamber immediately and cancel an upcoming break to address what they describe as the “catastrophic risk posed by advanced artificial intelligence.”
In a letter to the speaker, the Democrats cite potential threats, including “mass cybersecurity breaches and development of biological or chemical weapons,” and point to recent examples of the possible misuse of artificial intelligence by foreign actors.
“Reasonable minds may disagree about precisely how Congress should regulate this rapidly evolving technology. We cannot disagree about the imperative for Congress to act,” the letter states. It is signed by Reps. Sam Liccardo, George Whitesides, Lori Trahan and Ted Lieu, who call on Speaker Johnson to bring the House back “immediately and remain in session until Congress advances meaningful, bipartisan AI safeguards.”
The House reconvenes Monday for a legislative week, but plans to recess after Thursday for several weeks, returning November 9 after the midterm elections. Members had been scheduled to work at the Capitol the last two weeks of September, but House leaders earlier this month canceled those two weeks, giving members more time to campaign in their districts ahead of the elections.
“While AI safety experts and Americans increasingly urge action to confront this conflagration of risk, Congress fiddles,” said the House members’ letter.
The letter pointed to several recent incidents documenting risks and the potential for misuse of artificial intelligence. For example, it cited a report from Anthropic this week that said it disrupted efforts to use its Claude models “in ways that could support biological weapons development.”
The company also said it disrupted a Chinese government-linked surveillance and recruitment operation targeting Uyghurs in Syria, and in another instance, an Iran-linked effort to use Claude to analyze publicly accessible data “to develop targeting recommendations against US naval forces in the region.”
