华盛顿9月14日电（路透社）——据一名参议院助手和一名了解谈判情况的说客透露，美国参议院谈判代表正在审议一项法案，该法案将要求人工智能企业证明其正在采取合理预防措施，防止其AI工具造成危害。
上周，Anthropic研究员雅各布·考克森表示他已辞职，部分原因是“开发AI的人真心认为，到本世纪末AI可能会让我们所有人丧命”，这一言论引发了人们对AI潜在危险的警惕。周一，该行业一些大型企业的领导人呼吁放缓AI技术发展步伐后，全球与AI相关的股票出现下跌。

据该参议院助手和说客透露，参议员们正在讨论赋予美国商务部长权力，要求AI开发者提供证据，证明其正在采取合理措施防范危害，即所谓的“注意义务”。他们表示，商务部长还有权部署政府审计人员亲自测试企业的产品。路透社无法立即确定何为“合理措施”。
该法案仍在审议中。即便国会通过该法案，其成为法律的可能性也很小。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一表示，现有监管和起诉科技公司的权力已足够，这表明他不会签署为AI制定新规则的法案。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩、参议院商务委员会主席泰德·克鲁兹以及参与谈判的资深民主党参议员艾米·克洛布查尔正在讨论这项提案。克鲁兹的发言人未立即回复路透社的置评请求。
“国会可以在不对我们在AI竞赛中保持领先地位的能力造成任何损害的前提下，为这类更具后果性的威胁设置护栏，”图恩周一对记者表示。
“我仍在致力于就AI模型构成的最大风险制定政府监管的两党协议，”克洛布查尔在一份声明中说道。“这包括要求开发者与政府专家合作，验证和测试模型，以确保AI的安全性。”
克鲁兹所在的参议院委员会负责监督美国商务部——该机构拥有内部AI安全研究人员。消息人士称，商务委员会资深民主党参议员玛丽亚·坎特韦尔也已就该法案发表意见。
路透社周五曾报道，谈判代表还在讨论，如果美国政府想要封锁其认定不安全的特定AI模型的发布，可诉诸联邦法院。
企业可就该决定向联邦法院提起上诉，美国政府将拥有多大权力的确切结构仍在讨论中。另一名说客和一名参议院助手透露，该法案中涉及联邦法院的部分内容，还将阻止各州自行执行针对AI模型特定风险的相关法律。
以最先进AI模型闻名的美国企业是Anthropic和OpenAI。

US senators weigh requiring AI giants to commit to preventing catastrophe

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman; Lisa Su, CEO and chair of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD); Michael Intrator, co-founder and CEO of CoreWeave; and Brad Smith, vice chair and president of the Microsoft Corporation, are seated to testify before a Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing titled “Winning the AI Race: … Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tabRead more

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) – U.S. Senate negotiators are debating legislation that would require AI companies to demonstrate they are taking reasonable precautions to keep their tools from causing harm, according to a Senate aide and a lobbyist familiar with the talks.
Alarm about the potential danger posed by AI grew last week after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said he had resigned, in part because the “people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” AI-related stocks fell worldwide on Monday after leaders of some of the industry’s largest companies called for slowing the pace of the technology’s development.

The senators are debating giving the U.S. commerce secretary the power to request proof that AI developers are taking reasonable steps to prevent harm, known as a “duty of care,” according to the Senate aide and lobbyist. The secretary would also have the power to deploy government auditors to test companies’ products themselves, they said. Reuters could not immediately determine what would qualify as “reasonable.”
The legislation is still being debated. Even if Congress approves the measure, it faces long odds of becoming law. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that existing authorities already provide adequate tools to regulate and prosecute tech companies, suggesting he wouldn’t sign a bill setting new rules for AI.
The proposal is being discussed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz and Senator Amy Klobuchar, the top Democrat involved in the negotiations. A spokesperson for Cruz did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
“There is a way in which Congress can put guardrails around those types of more consequential threats without in any way harming our ability to stay ahead in the AI race,” Thune told reporters on Monday.
“I’m continuing to work toward a bipartisan agreement on legislation for government oversight of the greatest risks posed by AI models,” Klobuchar said in a statement. “That includes requiring developers to work with government experts to verify and test models to make sure AI is safe.”
Cruz’s Senate committee has oversight of the U.S. Commerce Department, the agency with in-house AI safety researchers. Senator Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Commerce Committee, has also weighed in on the legislation, sources say.
Reuters reported on Friday that negotiators are also debating involving federal courts if the U.S. government wants to block the release of certain AI models that it deems unsafe.
Companies would be able to challenge that decision in federal court, and the exact structure of how much power the U.S. government would have is still being discussed.
Part of the measure involving federal courts would also block states from enforcing their own laws governing certain risks posed by AI models, according to another lobbyist and a Senate aide.
The U.S. companies known for the most advanced AI models are Anthropic and OpenAI.
