特朗普总统的核心科技顾问戴维·萨克斯向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网表示，他认为有关人工智能可能对人类构成威胁的担忧被夸大了，尽管应当保持谨慎，但人工智能的开发仍应继续推进。
“我认为这种情况正在演变成一场恐慌，”他在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网资深商业与科技通讯员乔·林·肯特采访时说道，“现在正值选举季，政治人物有动机放大这种恐惧。我认为现在是时候冷静下来，理性看待这个问题了。”
萨克斯发表上述言论之际，外界对先进人工智能平台可能给人类带来灾难性伤害的担忧与日俱增。9月8日，Anthropic公司前研究员雅各布·考克森警告称，Anthropic和OpenAI正在开发自我改进的“超级智能”，这是在“拿我们的生命赌博”。
Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网《周日早间》节目采访时表示，人工智能“确实存在真实风险”，并补充称，“该行业曾就这项技术存在风险这一事实欺骗了公众”。
“如果你无法掌控它，就别做这件事”
在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网的独家专访中，萨克斯将保障公众免受人工智能危害的责任归咎于Anthropic、OpenAI等大型语言模型开发者，称确保技术安全是这些公司的责任。
“首要且最重要的是，应由他们负责确保其产品安全，”他说，“他们应该向我们展示他们将如何做到这一点。如果他们做不到，就应该让位给能够做到的人。”
“他们不应该做的是让公众担心他们的工作做得很糟糕，”萨克斯补充道，他目前是特朗普总统科学技术顾问委员会的联合主席，并于今年5月辞去了总统人工智能与加密货币事务总监的职务。
萨克斯还表示，人工智能公司也不应需要政府干预来保护公众免受伤害。
“你为什么要表现得好像自己无法掌控局面？”他在谈及阿莫代伊时说道，“如果你无法掌控它，就别做这件事。”
“不过，归根结底，我认为这些风险是可以管控的，我并不想叫停开发。我希望安全地推进这项技术，”萨克斯补充道。
根据他共同创立的投资公司Craft Ventures的个人简介，作为风险投资家，萨克斯曾投资过科技行业多家巨头企业，包括爱彼迎、太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）和脸书（Facebook）。
中国拥有优势？
阿莫代伊、OpenAI首席执行官山姆·奥特曼以及其他科技领袖呼吁全行业放缓人工智能开发步伐，原因是他们担忧这种快速发展的技术可能会给人类带来严重伤害。
他们的呼吁是在外界对超级智能的担忧日益加剧的背景下发出的。超级智能是人工智能发展的一个理论阶段，届时人工智能将在所有认知任务上超越人类，一些研究人员称这一里程碑可能在1至10年内实现。
并非所有人都认为人工智能公司应该暂停甚至推迟前沿模型的开发。其中包括特朗普总统，他在周一驳回了对人工智能开发设置更强监管护栏的呼吁，并声称该行业已经受到了充分监管。
萨克斯也持同样观点，他认为限制人工智能开发可能会让美国在与中国的竞争中处于不利地位，而中国已经迅速缩小了与美国人工智能企业的差距。
“如果我们暂停所有开发，他们就会加速前进。很明显，他们不会停下来的，”萨克斯说道。

It’s up to AI developers to ensure their tech is safe, says top Trump adviser on AI

Jo Ling Kent Senior Business and Technology Correspondent
Journalist Jo Ling Kent joined CBS News in July 2023 as the senior business and technology correspondent for CBS News. Kent has more than 15 years of experience covering the intersection of technology and business in the U.S., as well as the emergence of China as a global economic power.

David Sacks, a key adviser to President Trump on technology, told CBS News he believes that fears about artificial intelligence’s potential threat to humanity are overblown and that, while caution is warranted, development of AI should continue.
“I think this is becoming a panic,” he told CBS News senior business and technology correspondent Jo Ling Kent. “We’re in an election season, and there is an incentive for political actors to try and amplify the fear. And I think this is a moment to really calm down a little bit and look at the issue rationally.”
Sacks’ comments come amid mounting concerns that advanced AI platforms could inflict catastrophic harm on people. On Sept. 8, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon warned that Anthropic and OpenAI are “gambling with our lives” by developing self-improving “superintelligence.”
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told CBS News “Sunday Morning” that “there are real dangers” with AI, adding that the “industry lied to people about the fact that this technology had risks.”
“If you can’t control it, then don’t do it”
In an exclusive interview with CBS News, Sacks placed the onus on Anthropic, OpenAI and other large language model developers to protect the public from AI, saying it is the companies’ responsibility to ensure the tech is safe.
“First and foremost, it is on them to make their products safe,” he said. “They should tell us how they should do that. If they can’t do that, they should step aside for people who can do that.”
“What they should not be doing is making the public afraid that they’re doing a bad job,” added Sacks, who is co-chair of Mr. Trump’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He stepped down from his role as the president’s AI and cryptocurrency czar in May.
AI companies also shouldn’t require government intervention to safeguard the public from harm, Sacks said.
“Why are you acting like this is something that you can’t control?” he said in reference to Amodei. “If you can’t control it, then don’t do it.”
“Now, look at the end of the day, I think these risks can be managed, and I do not want to stop. I want to proceed safely,” Sacks added.
As a venture capitalist, Sacks has invested in some of tech’s biggest companies, including Airbnb, SpaceX and Facebook, according to his bio at Craft Ventures, the investment firm he co-founded.
Advantage China?
Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other tech leaders have called on the industry to slow the development of AI amid fears that the rapidly advancing technology could inflict serious harm on humanity.
Their calls followed growing concerns over superintelligence, a theoretical stage in AI’s development in which it could outperform humans at every cognitive task, a milestone some researchers say could be reached in one to 10 years.
Not everyone is convinced that AI companies should pause, or even delay, the development of frontier models. That includes President Trump, who on Monday dismissed calls for stronger guardrails around AI development and claimed the industry is already sufficiently regulated.
Sacks echoed that view, arguing that constraining AI development risks putting the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage with China, which has rapidly closed the gap with American AI players.
If “we just pause all development, they will race ahead. It’s pretty clear they’re not going to stop,” Sacks said.
