Google’s updated, public AI ethics policy removes its promise that it won’t
use the technology to pursue applications for weapons and surveillance.
Google修正後的AI使用道德政策其中的禁止使用在武器和監視的限制被移除了
In a previous version of the principles seen by CNN on the internet archive
Wayback Machine, the company included applications it won’t pursue. One such
category was weapons or other technology intended to injure people. Another
was technology used to surveil beyond international norms.
That language is gone on the updated principles page.
CNN找到了過去的檔案，確實發現原本禁止實施計畫中的傷害人類武器、超出範疇監視的
部分被移除了。
Since OpenAI launched chatbot ChatGPT in 2022, the artificial intelligence
race has advanced at a dizzying pace. While AI has boomed in use, legislation
and regulations on transparency and ethics in AI have yet to catch up – and
now Google seems to have loosened self-imposed restrictions.
自ChatGPT以來，AI發展過於迅速同時道德限制和立法並沒有跟上
In a blog post Tuesday, senior vice president of research, labs, technology &
society James Manyika and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis said that AI
frameworks published by democratic countries have deepened Google’s “
understanding of AI’s potential and risks.”
“There’s a global competition taking place for AI leadership within an
increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. We believe democracies should
lead in AI development, guided by core values like freedom, equality, and
respect for human rights,” the blog post said.
The post continued, “and we believe that companies, governments, and
organizations sharing these values should work together to create AI that
protects people, promotes global growth, and supports national security.”
Google的高層人員週二發文表示:
民主國家發布的AI框架加強了Google對"人工智慧潛力和風險的理解"
在日益複雜的地緣政治格局中，全球正在爭取AI領導地位。
我們相信民主國家應該在自由、平等和尊重人權等核心價值的指引下帶領AI發展
我們相信，擁有這些價值觀的公司、政府和組織應該共同努力，創造出保護人民、促進全
球發展和支持國家安全的AI
Google first published its AI Principles in 2018, years before the technology
became almost ubiquitous. Google’s update is a sharp reversal in values from
those original published principles.
Google於2018年首次發表AI準則，早於技術普及之前，但最近大轉彎
In 2018, Google dropped a $10 billion bid for a cloud computing Pentagon
contract, saying at the time “we couldn’t be assured that it would align
with our AI Principles.” More than 4,000 employees had signed a petition
that year demanding “a clear policy stating that neither Google nor its
contractors will ever build warfare technology,” and about a dozen employees
resigned in protest.
2018年Google曾經放棄10B美的五角大廈標案，因為他們認為這個案子無法保證符合內部
準則，當時還有4000名員工請願要求Google建立一個規範保證不開發戰爭相關技術
心得/評論：
民主的AI來了，為了保護人類避免受到邪惡侵襲
AI將被運用在軍事以及監視，內部代號不知道是不是Skynet?
不過，一件新技術要加速商業化，通常美軍或情報單位都是最佳的開發管道
用途多樣、政府支援、大量資金、以及相對較少的監管
同時我相信不是只有美國這樣搞啦，反正就是互相用對方的魔法對付彼此
還好台灣有數發部，應該是不會落於人後 吧?
這樣看起來大模型的基礎建設將會改成由國家支援
edge AI是沒辦法支援大規模監控和武器開發的
各位可以散會了，老黃以及GG將繼續突破高點
