杰弗里·辛顿在2024年12月10日诺贝尔奖宴会上的演讲
（北欧时报依据杰弗里·辛顿的AI算法编译）
陛下、
殿下、
阁下们、
亲爱的获奖者们、
女士们、先生们：
今年，诺贝尔物理学奖和化学奖委员会表彰了一种新形式人工智能的重大进展。这种人工智能利用人工神经网络来学习解决复杂的计算问题。它在模拟人类直觉方面表现出色，而非人类推理。这一新型人工智能将使我们能够创造出高度智能且知识渊博的助手，从而提升几乎所有行业的生产力。如果生产力提升的益处能够被公平分享，这将成为全人类的一大福音。
然而，人工智能的快速发展伴随着许多短期风险。它已经通过向人们推送令人愤怒的内容制造了分裂的回声室；它已经被威权政府用于大规模监控，也被网络犯罪分子用于网络钓鱼攻击。在不久的将来，人工智能可能被用来创造可怕的新型病毒，以及能够自主决定攻击目标的致命武器。所有这些短期风险都需要各国政府和国际组织的紧急且有力的关注。
同时，我们还面临着一个长期的生存威胁——当我们创造出比我们更智能的数字生命体时，这一威胁将变得现实。我们不知道是否能够保持对它们的控制。但已有证据表明，如果这些生命体由追求短期利润的公司创造，我们的安全将不会被优先考虑。我们迫切需要研究如何防止这些新生命体产生控制人类的欲望。这些威胁已不再是科幻小说。

Your Majesties
Your Royal Highnesses,
Excellences,
Dear Laureates,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This year the Nobel committees in Physics and Chemistry have recognized the dramatic progress being made in a new form of Artificial Intelligence that uses artificial neural networks to learn how to solve difficult computational problems.This new form of AI excels at modeling human intuition rather than human reasoning and it will enable us to create highly intelligent and knowledgeable assistants who will increase productivity in almost all industries.If the benefits of the increased productivity can be shared equally it will be a wonderful advance for all humanity.
Unfortunately,the rapid progress in AI comes with many short-term risks.It has already created divisive echo-chambers by offering people content that makes them indignant.It is already being used by authoritarian governments for massive surveillance and by cyber criminals for phishing attacks.In the near future AI may be used to create terrible new viruses and horrendous lethal weapons that decide by themselves who to kill or maim.All of these short-term risks require urgent and forceful attention from governments and international organizations.
There is also a longer term existential threat that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves.We have no idea whether we can stay in control.But we now have evidence that if they are created by companies motivated by short-term profits,our safety will not be the top priority.We urgently need research on how to prevent these new beings from wanting to take control.They are no longer science fiction.
