《中英對照讀新聞》Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man科學家擔心機器比人聰明

◎管淑平

Impressed and alarmed by advances in artificial intelligence, a group of computer scientists is debating whether there should be limits on research that might lead to loss of human control over computer-based systems.

對人工智慧進展感到了不起、也有所警覺，一群電腦科學專家正在辯論，是否該為或許將導致人類失去對電腦系統控制權的研究設限。

 

A group of leading computer scientists, artificial intelligence researchers and roboticists who met in a conference organized by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence believed that computer scientists must respond to the notions of the development of superintelligent machines and artificial intelligence systems run amok.

人工智慧發展協會主辦的會議上，一群居領導地位的電腦科學家、人工智慧研究人員和機器人學專家相信，電腦科學家必須對超級智慧機器和人工智慧系統發展失控的想法做出回應。

 Their concern is that further advances could create profound social disruptions and even have dangerous consequences.

他們擔心的是，日後的進展可能讓社會秩序大亂，甚至有危險後果。

 They focused particular attention on the specter that criminals could exploit artificial intelligence systems as soon as they were developed. What could a criminal do with a speech synthesis system that could masquerade as a human being? What happens if artificial intelligence technology is used to mine personal information from smart phones?

他們特別關注一旦人工智慧系統被發展出來，會被犯罪份子利用。犯罪人士可能會把一套能模仿真人的語音合成系統拿來做什麼？若人工智慧科技被用來從智慧手機中發掘個人資訊的話又該怎麼辦？
