国会山的参议员们对微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨有关人工智能（AI）可能导致“10亿人死亡”的警告意见分歧，目前围绕该技术的发展方向和快速扩张的争议日益加剧。
盖茨是多位就AI发展拉响警报的行业巨头之一，其他人士包括Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊和OpenAI首席执行官山姆·奥尔特曼。唐纳德·特朗普总统则反对放缓AI发展的呼吁，辩称倒退可能会让中国等AI竞赛中的竞争对手占据优势。
上周在接受NBC《与媒体见面》节目采访时，被问及AI是否会灭绝人类时，盖茨做出了上述表态。该行业内已有不少人警告称，这种可能性可能在十年内成为现实。
共和党议员认为大型科技公司的AI末日警告背后另有隐情：“背后有鬼”
“我认为这极其不负责任，”得克萨斯州联邦参议员、共和党人约翰·科尼恩告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“这不像一些AI领域官员所说的那样极端，他们曾暗示人类有10%的概率会被灭绝，”缅因州联邦参议员、无党派人士安格斯·金表示，“这是我们必须高度重视的问题。”
“让我对这个预测感到担忧的是，参众两院由共和党掌控，他们却说‘大家都回家吧，让AI为所欲为’，”马萨诸塞州联邦参议员、民主党人伊丽莎白·沃伦说道。
科尼恩声称，盖茨的警告可能会助长要求监管的呼声，而这最终可能有利于AI行业的大型企业，排挤小型竞争对手。
“我的意思是，他这是在危言耸听，”科尼恩说，“我担心这是为了所谓的监管俘获——当少数顶尖AI公司掌控市场并排挤所有竞争对手时，政府和公众会要求监管。”

不过，金辩称，科技公司之间的竞争恰恰证明政府应该实施监管保障措施。
“总统似乎认为，行业会自我监管，政府不应介入，”金说，“问题在于，这些公司正在进行激烈的竞争。”
他声称，如果主动放缓发展或实施自身的监管措施，可能会让竞争对手在行业中占据领先地位，那么这些公司就不愿自愿放慢开发速度或推出自身的保障措施。
“他们将被迫做出抉择：我们应该放慢速度并实施自身的保障措施吗？”金解释道，“但如果我们这么做了，隔壁的竞争对手不会这么做，反而会超越我们，或者中国会超越我们。”
共和党议员还就AI快速发展提出了另一个担忧：中国会不会后来居上？

“听着，我认为我们需要用常识行事，”北达科他州联邦参议员、共和党人约翰·霍文说，“所以我们希望发展这项技术。显然，我们需要领先于中国等对手，但我们必须安全地推进。”
“我认为政府总体上走在正确的道路上，没有试图对这项技术施加过多管制，而这项技术对我们的经济和国家安全至关重要，”科尼恩表示。
有关AI的讨论在本月升温，恰逢参众两院在中期选举前休会。许多民主党人呼吁国会留会，以解决对AI的担忧，并推动制定出台监管保障措施的立法。
“我们有责任行动，但共和党人没有，”沃伦说，“他们说‘让所有人都回家’，因为唐纳德·特朗普不想对AI采取任何行动。”

Senators on Capitol Hill were split on Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates’ warning that artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to “a billion deaths” amid growing controversy over the technology’s direction and rapid growth.
Gates is one of several industry giants who have sounded the alarm on AI’s advancements, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. President Donald Trump has pushed back on calls to slow down AI development, arguing a rollback could give an advantage to competitors in the AI race like China.
Gates made the claim on NBC’s “Meet the Press” last week when he was asked whether AI could wipe out humanity — as some in the industry have warned is a possibility that could happen within a decade.

“I think that’s incredibly irresponsible,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas told Fox News Digital.
“That’s not as dire as some of the AI officials who have suggested that there was a 10 percent chance of wiping out all of humanity,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine said. “This is something we have to take very seriously.”
“What worries me about that prediction is that the Republicans who are in control of the House and the Senate say ‘everybody go home and let AI do whatever they want to do,’” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said.
Cornyn claimed that Gates’ warning risks fueling calls for regulations that could ultimately benefit the biggest players in the AI industry while crowding out smaller competitors.
“I mean, he’s fear-mongering,” Cornyn said. “And I worry that it’s in pursuit of what’s sometimes called regulatory capture, that the government and the public will demand regulation while a handful of prime AI companies are in control and crowd out any competitors.”

King, however, argued the competition between tech companies gives reason why the government should implement safeguards.
“The president seems to think, well, industry will regulate itself. The government shouldn’t be involved,” King said. “The problem with that is that these companies are engaged in an intense competition.”
He claimed that companies could then be reluctant to voluntarily slow development or impose their own safeguards if doing so risks allowing competitors to pull ahead in the industry.
“They’re gonna be forced to make a decision: Should we slow down and put in our own safeguards?” King explained. “But if we do, our competitor across the street won’t and [will] get ahead of us, or China will get ahead of us.”
Republican senators also warned about another concern surrounding the rapid development of AI: Could China pull ahead?

“Look, I think we need to use common sense,” Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said. “So we want to develop it. Obviously, we need to stay ahead of adversaries like China, but we need to do it safely. “
“I think the administration is generally on the right track in not trying to put a heavy hand on this technology, which is going to be fundamental to our economy and our national security,” Cornyn said.
The conversations around AI ramped up this month, shortly before both the House and Senate went on recess leading up to the midterm elections. Many Democrats called for Congress to stay in session to address the concerns around AI and work to get legislation that enacts safeguards.

“We have a responsibility, but not the Republicans,” Warren said. “They say ‘send everybody home,’ because Donald Trump doesn’t want to do anything about AI.”
