OpenAI 基金会董事警告 AI 接管社会或仅剩数月
OpenAI 基金会董事、对齐研究中心执行主任 Paul Cristiano 在多伦多讲座中警告，对在场多数人而言，最可能的死因将是 AI 事故，并称 AI 接管社会可能仅剩数月。他将“接管”定义为目标驱动的 AI 系统像今天的人类一样主导地球事务，且人类试图阻止时如同平民对抗美军般无效，可能导致大规模死亡甚至人类无法居住的环境。

How do you think you're going to die?
If you go by the current statistics for deaths in the US, it's reasonable to expect that cancer or heart disease will eventually get you. But OpenAI Foundation board member and Alignment Research Center Executive Director Paul Cristiano thinks we should all be worried about another major mortality risk. Speaking at a lecture series this week, Cristiano bluntly told the audience in a Toronto Convention Center, "I think for most people in this room, the most likely reason they will die is because of an AI accident."
In the opening lecture of a three-part series, Cristiano outlined his worries about the risk of an impending "AI takeover." He defined that as a situation where goal-pursuing AI systems "call the shots in the same sense that humans today call the shots and what happens on Earth" and where any human trying to stop them "would be as ineffective as if you or me was trying to stop the US military." Such a situation would likely lead to mass death and perhaps uninhabitable environments for humans, Cristiano said.
