@Reid Hoffman : 我对人工智能的未来持谨慎乐观态度。我认为人工智能最终会提升人类能力,改善我们的生活,带来积极的改变。但是,新技术一开始可能会让人害怕,我们需要谨慎地引导其发展方向,确保人工智能符合美国的价值观和利益。美国需要在人工智能领域占据主导地位,这不仅关乎经济竞争力,也关乎国家安全。我们需要政府的支持和引导,同时也要避免激进的监管措施,允许行业在发展中不断学习和改进。我并不赞同将人工智能发展描述为一场军备竞赛,但我认为美国需要在人工智能领域保持领先地位,以确保其符合美国的价值观和利益,并保持美国的经济竞争力。政府应该支持人工智能产业的发展,促进创新,并引导其发展方向。人工智能的监管应该采取迭代的方式,先关注重大风险,再根据实际情况逐步完善。借鉴汽车行业的经验,通过迭代发展和部署,不断完善监管措施。暂停人工智能发展会带来诸多风险,包括丧失经济竞争力和安全优势。我们需要与政府合作,共同塑造人工智能的未来。 关于与Elon Musk的关系,我承认他的一些言论对我的声誉和安全造成了负面影响。我认为领导者有责任利用权力促进良好的公民进程,避免散布谎言和煽动暴力。 @Tim Higgins : 作为访谈主持人,我主要负责引导话题,提出问题,并对Hoffman的观点进行总结和补充。

Shownotes Transcript

LinkedIn co-founder and Silicon Valley venture capitalist Reid Hoffman is cautiously optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence. In his new book, “Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right With Our AI Future,” he argues that the current state of AI is similar to the automobile at the start of the 20th century. What does that mean for what Hoffman calls the “cognitive Industrial Revolution” and its potential to create positive change, and who is best suited to regulate it? And what does he think of his old friend Elon Musk’s influence in the Trump administration? Hoffman speaks to WSJ’s Tim Higgins on the Bold Names podcast.
