JONATHAN SWAN, MICHAEL GOLD2026年9月15日President Trump on Monday rejected calls from leading artificial intelligence executives for new limits on the technology, writing on social media that the industry already has the only guardrail it needs: “a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.”特朗普总统周一拒绝了主要人工智能高管提出的对该技术实施新限制的呼吁，他在社交媒体上写道，该行业已经拥有了唯一所需的护栏：“一位强大且聪明（高智商！）的总统。”He dismissed safety concerns as a “hoax” that would give China the upper hand in developing the technology. He argued that “the people that say AI is going to destroy the World” are the same ones warning about climate change — which he also insists is a hoax.他将安全担忧斥为“骗局”，认为这会让中国在这项技术的开发方面占据上风。他争辩说，“那些说人工智能将毁灭世界的人”与警告气候变化的人是同一批人——他同样坚称气候变化也是个骗局。With the posts, Mr. Trump inserted himself into an intensifying national debate over how to govern a rapidly evolving technology. Researchers and industry leaders warn it could bring mass unemployment, a new wave of biological weapons and autonomous warfare. The president did not address those risks directly. Instead, he questioned the sincerity of the executives who have been calling to slow the technology’s development.通过这些帖子，特朗普介入了关于如何治理这项快速发展技术日益激烈的全国性辩论。研究人员和行业领袖警告说，人工智能可能会带来大规模失业、引发新一波生物武器威胁和自主战争。总统没有直接回应这些风险，而是质疑那些一直呼吁放缓该技术发展的高管们的诚意。“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Mr. Trump posted on Monday morning. “The Trump Administration has stopped AI ‘people’ from doing bad, or potentially bad, ‘things,’ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a ‘perfect little angel’ — and we will continue to do so!“人工智能需要的唯一控制或‘护栏’是一位强大且聪明（高智商！）的总统，而美国拥有这样一位总统，毫无疑问！”特朗普周一早上发帖称。“特朗普政府已经阻止了人工智能‘人士’做坏事，或者可能的坏‘事’，比如达里奥（Anthropic公司！），他现在正假装成一个‘完美的小天使’——我们还要继续这么做！“We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies!” he added.“我们对这些公司已经拥有了巨大的刑事和监管权力！”他还写道。It was not clear what authority Mr. Trump was referring to, or what actions he believes his administration has already blocked. The United States does have laws in place to prosecute deliberate hacking into other systems, but it is not clear that rogue A.I. agents’ hacking into networks would be covered by a law designed to go after human hackers.目前尚不清楚特朗普指的是什么权力，也不清楚他认为其政府已经阻止了哪些行动。美国确实有法律来起诉蓄意黑客攻击其他系统的行为，但是旨在打击人类黑客的法律是否能够涵盖失控的人工智能智能体侵入网络的行为目前尚不明确。Similarly, as the companies go public, they will be subject to regulations that govern publicly traded firms in the United States. But generally the industry is subject to very little existing regulation.同样，随着这些公司上市，它们将受到美国针对上市公司制定的监管法规约束。但总的来说，该行业受到的现有监管非常少。The White House did not respond to a request for comment.白宫没有回应对此置评的请求。Mr. Trump’s own grasp of the technology is superficial, according to people close to him. He is an extreme late adopter of tech: He began text messaging only in 2022, and his staff prints out social media posts for him to read.据特朗普身边的人士透露，他本人对这项技术的了解很肤浅。他在使用技术方面极度滞后：他直到2022年才开始发短信，他的工作人员还会将社交媒体帖子打印出来供他阅读。The president’s statement followed a weekend essay from Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, calling for a global slowdown of artificial intelligence development. Days earlier, one of Anthropic’s researchers quit and went public over his fears about the safety of the technology.总统发表上述声明之前，Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪在周末发表了一篇文章，呼吁全球放缓人工智能的发展。几天前，Anthropic的一名研究人员辞职，并公开表达了他对该技术安全性的担忧。The Trump administration has clashed with Anthropic before. Earlier this year, the company refused to give the Pentagon unfettered access to its A.I. system without safeguards it wanted. Mr. Trump then ordered the federal government to stop using Anthropic’s A.I. technology and labeled the company a security risk, a designation that a federal judge later ruled was unlawful.特朗普政府以前曾与Anthropic发生过冲突。今年早些时候，该公司拒绝在没有其所希望的保护措施的情况下，让五角大楼不受限制地访问其人工智能系统。特朗普随后命令联邦政府停止使用Anthropic的人工智能技术，并将该公司列为安全风险，后来一名联邦法官裁定这一认定是非法的。Other A.I. chiefs have voiced concerns of their own in recent days. Demis Hassabis, the chairman of Google DeepMind; Elon Musk of SpaceX; and Sam Altman of OpenAI have all endorsed calls for a slower pace.近日来，其他人工智能领域的主管也表达了他们自己的担忧。谷歌DeepMind董事长杰米斯·哈萨比斯、SpaceX的埃隆·马斯克以及OpenAI的萨姆·奥特曼都支持放慢发展步伐的呼吁。Vice President JD Vance has repeated the president’s warnings about China leaping ahead and has also echoed Mr. Trump’s skepticism about A.I. company executives’ calls for their own regulation. But he has also described certain uses of artificial intelligence as “satanic” and has been more open about his concerns regarding the technology’s risks.副总统J·D·万斯重申了总统关于中国可能超越美国的警告，也附和了特朗普对人工智能公司高管呼吁自我监管的怀疑态度。但他也将人工智能的某些用途描述为“极其邪恶”， 并对这项技术带来的风险表达了更为直率的担忧。“It’s something that we’re concerned by, but we want to make sure that we regulate smartly,” Mr. Vance told a reporter on Monday morning before leaving for an event in Kansas City. “There are obviously risks to A.I.; there are benefits to A.I. I have to say, personally, I feel a little bit weird about the fact that we have so many frontier A.I. tech companies kind of talking to the government and begging the government to regulate them. It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse, so I think we just have to be careful about this.”“这是我们关注的问题，但我们想确保我们能够明智地进行监管，”周一早上，万斯在启程前往堪萨斯城参加一场活动前告诉记者。“人工智能显然存在风险；人工智能也带来了好处。我不得不说，就我个人而言，看到有这么多前沿的人工智能科技公司跟政府交谈、恳求政府对它们进行监管这件事，我感觉有点奇怪。这让我觉得有点像特洛伊木马，所以我认为我们在这一点上必须小心。”“Any technology has risks,” he added, saying later, “I think what the president has said is we want to be smart about making sure we stay on top of those risks.” The best approach, he said, would be “consensus between both Congress and the administration.”“任何技术都有风险，”他还说，他后来又说，“我认为总统想表达的是，我们要明智地确保我们能够掌控这些风险。”他说，最好的办法是“国会和政府之间达成共识”。Speaker Mike Johnson has shared Mr. Trump’s warnings that China could overtake the United States, but he has been more open to congressional action. Over the weekend, he urged a cautious approach to regulation and said executives of the leading A.I. companies should take part in any talks about a federal framework. On Monday he told reporters at the Capitol that he hoped to convene such a meeting as soon as the end of next week, though he would not commit to a date. “It will be soon,” he said.众议院议长迈克·约翰逊赞同特朗普关于中国可能超越美国的警告，但他对国会采取行动持更开放的态度。上周末，他敦促在监管方面采取谨慎态度，并表示领先的人工智能公司的高管应参与有关联邦框架的谈判。周一，他在国会大厦对记者表示，他希望最快在下周末召开这样一次会议，尽管他不愿承诺具体日期。“会很快的，”他说。Though Mr. Johnson has called A.I. regulation a top priority for Congress, lawmakers have done little. Under his leadership, the House passed a provision in the sweeping tax cuts and domestic policy bill that would have blocked states from writing their own A.I. rules. It drew bipartisan opposition, and the Senate stripped it.尽管约翰逊称人工智能监管是国会的重要优先事项，但立法者们却鲜有作为。在他的领导下，众议院在全面的减税和国内政策法案中通过了一项条款，该条款将阻止各州制定自己的人工智能规则。这招致了两党的反对，参议院随后将其删除。That legislation, which Mr. Trump calls his “big, beautiful bill,” also expanded major tax breaks for research costs, new investment and rural development projects. Those provisions benefit artificial intelligence players looking to build new data centers, invest in chip-making facilities and increase their power supply.这项被特朗普称为“大而美法案”的立法还扩大了针对研究成本、新投资和农村发展项目的重大税收减免。这些条款有利于那些希望建设新数据中心、投资芯片制造设施和增加电力供应的人工智能企业。On Monday, Democrats rejected Mr. Trump’s position on A.I. Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, called for Congress to pass legislation on the issue, saying on the Senate floor, “even if we had a high IQ president right now, and we surely don’t, it wouldn’t be enough.” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, said that lawmakers should not leave Washington for a planned recess without passing regulations on A.I.周一，民主党人拒绝了特朗普在人工智能问题上的立场。纽约州民主党参议员、少数党领袖查克·舒默呼吁国会就此问题通过立法，并在参议院发言时说：“即使我们现在有一位高智商的总统——当然我们并没有——那也是不够的。”众议院民主党领袖、众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯表示，立法者不应在未通过人工智能监管法规的情况下离开华盛顿休会。Even if a meeting with A.I. executives happens, the House has all but run out of time to act before the midterm elections. Mr. Johnson has canceled votes scheduled for later this month, and lawmakers will leave Washington this week without returning until November.即使与人工智能高管的会晤得以举行，众议院也几乎没有时间在中期选举前采取行动。约翰逊已经取消了定于本月晚些时候举行的投票，议员们本周将离开华盛顿，直到11月才会回来。Mr. Trump knew almost nothing about artificial intelligence until the 2024 campaign, when OpenAI executives gave him a demonstration in Las Vegas. According to the book “Regime Change,” by the New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Mr. Trump was struck by ChatGPT’s capabilities, telling the executives that the chatbot’s ability to write instant poetry was “beautiful.” He then turned, in the same meeting, to how the technology worked and how a president might clear regulatory hurdles to let the industry grow.在2024年竞选期间OpenAI的高管在拉斯维加斯向特朗普进行演示之前，他对人工智能几乎一无所知。据《纽约时报》记者玛吉·哈伯曼和乔纳森·斯旺所著的《政权更迭》(Regime Change)一书，特朗普对ChatGPT的功能感到震惊，他告诉高管们，这个聊天机器人即时写诗的能力“很美”。随后，在同一次会议上，他又转而询问这项技术的工作原理，以及总统可以如何清除监管障碍，从而推动该行业发展。Since returning to office, he has aligned himself with A.I. accelerationists pressing the government to dismantle obstacles to that growth. He has been influenced in particular by Jensen Huang, the chief executive of the chipmaker Nvidia, and David Sacks, the Silicon Valley investor who has shaped much of the administration’s A.I. policy. Both argue that new guardrails on American companies would let China “win” the race.自重返白宫以来，他与敦促政府消除阻碍该行业增长障碍的人工智能加速主义者站在了一起。他特别受到了芯片制造商英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋和硅谷投资者大卫·萨克斯的影响，后者对本届政府的人工智能政策产生了很大影响。两人都认为，对美国公司设置新的护栏会让中国在这场竞赛中“获胜”。英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋（右）影响了特朗普对人工智能的看法。 Pete Marovich for The New York TimesAs if to dramatize his alliance with the A.I. evangelists, Mr. Trump phoned Mr. Huang on Monday while Mr. Huang was onstage at a tech conference in Los Angeles. The president, who talks to the Nvidia chief regularly, declared that concerns about A.I. safety were overblown. “It’s a hoax,” the president said after Mr. Huang put him on speaker and held a microphone beside his phone for the benefit of the audience and the cameras. “The robots are not going to be taking over the world.”似乎是为了戏剧化地展示他与人工智能布道者们的结盟，特朗普周一给黄仁勋打去了电话，当时后者正在洛杉矶的一个科技会议的舞台上。这位经常与英伟达总裁交谈的总统宣布，对人工智能安全的担忧被夸大了。“这是一场骗局，” 总统在黄仁勋打开免提、把麦克风放在手机旁以便观众和镜头都能听清后说道。“机器人不会接管世界。”Mr. Trump returned to the subject of A.I. later Monday, dismissing the risks outright. “AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX,” he wrote, comparing it to the Russia investigation and his two impeachments. He questioned the motives of the executives asking to be reined in: “When, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy?”特朗普周一晚些时候再次谈到人工智能话题，彻底否认相关风险。“人工智能接管世界、毁灭人类以及所有其他坏事都是骗局，”他写道，并将其与俄罗斯调查和他的两次弹劾相提并论。他质疑那些呼吁加强监管的高管的动机：“在商业史上，什么时候有人见过一个行业的领袖呼吁实施如果得到强有力执行，将把他们推向灭亡和破产境地的监管？”Mr. Trump has dismissed the domestic backlash as well. In one of Monday’s posts, he portrayed widespread opposition to data center construction — a major issue emerging across the country ahead of the midterms — as part of a “conspiracy” rather than genuine public anxiety, and predicted the A.I. industry would be “the Greatest Economic Development Engine in History — Bigger than Oil, Gold, Diamonds, or even the Internet.”特朗普也对国内的强烈反对不屑一顾。在周一的一篇帖子中，他将围绕数据中心建设的广泛反对——这是中期选举前全国范围内浮现的一个重大问题——描绘为“阴谋”的一部分，而不是真正的公众焦虑，并预测人工智能行业将成为“历史上最伟大的经济发展引擎——比石油、黄金、钻石甚至互联网还要大”。“There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China,” he wrote in his post earlier on Monday. “WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!”“针对人工智能和数据中心的阴谋非常病态，而唯一对此感到高兴的是中国，”他在周一早些时候的帖子中写道。“谁赢得人工智能，谁就赢得一切！我们正在领先中国和所有其他人，并将继续如此。阴谋论者、叛国者、叛徒和泄密者，当心！”Abroad, governments are moving the other way. Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada told Bloomberg News on Monday that he favored the creation of a global “technology stability” body to oversee artificial intelligence.在国外，各国政府正朝着相反方向行动。加拿大总理马克·卡尼周一告诉彭博新闻社，他赞成建立一个全球性的“技术稳定”机构来监督人工智能。“There’s a need for coordination,” he said. “Ultimately, a technology stability board, in our view, along the lines of the Financial Stability Board would make sense.”“有必要进行协调，”他说。“在我们看来，建立一个类似于金融稳定理事会的技术稳定理事会，最终是合理的。”Beijing, too, has been sounding the alarm. Chen Yixin, China’s security minister, recently warned that the leading A.I. models pose risks to the Chinese system and called for stricter government oversight — suggesting that the country Mr. Trump invokes as a reason to deregulate is weighing the opposite course.北京也一直在发出警报。中国国家安全部部长陈一新最近警告称，领先的人工智能模型对中国体制构成风险，并呼吁实施更严格的政府监管——这表明，这个被特朗普引用作为放松监管理由的国家正在考虑相反的路线。Jonathan Swan是《纽约时报》白宫记者，报道特朗普总统。Michael Gold为《纽约时报》报道国会新闻，重点关注移民政策和国会监督。翻译：纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。
