Inviting hard questions
诚邀各界提出尖锐问题
July 9, 2026 2026年7月9日
Who decides the rules for AI? Can AI give my children a better future? Does AI make the world a more dangerous place? Can AI help scientists cure diseases? People have a lot of hard questions about AI. It’s our job to address them. 谁来决定人工智能的规则?人工智能能否给我的孩子们带来更美好的未来?人工智能会让世界变得更危险吗?人工智能能否帮助科学家治愈疾病?人们对人工智能有着许多尖锐的问题,而解决这些问题正是我们的职责所在。
Many people are positively disposed to AI. They already use it every day, and they see its potential for making our work and our lives less laborious, for changing the way we learn, for helping speed up scientific and technological progress, for creating new sources of prosperity, and for solving some of the biggest medical and social problems we face. 许多人对人工智能持积极态度。他们已经在日常生活中使用它,并看到了它在减轻工作与生活负担、改变学习方式、加速科技进步、创造新的繁荣源泉,以及解决我们所面临的重大医疗和社会问题方面的潜力。
But many also hold serious concerns. Some are worried about AI’s potential contribution to job loss. Some fear that it could devalue creative work. Others are concerned about human agency: that AI might affect our ability to think for ourselves, to make human connections, and to have meaning in our lives. Many are concerned about what it means if AI’s capabilities fall into the wrong hands—and wonder whether the benefits outweigh the costs. 但也有许多人怀有严重的担忧。一些人担心人工智能可能导致失业;一些人担心它会贬低创造性工作;另一些人则关注人类的主体性,担心人工智能可能会影响我们独立思考、建立人际联系以及在生活中寻找意义的能力。许多人还担心如果人工智能的能力落入坏人之手会发生什么,并质疑其收益是否真的大于成本。
In the film below, you can hear some of these hopes and concerns from people we’ve spoken with. 在下方的视频中,你可以听到我们采访过的人们所表达的一些希望与担忧。
Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation—it’s our mission to secure the benefits of advanced AI models and mitigate their risks. That public benefit mission has led us, for example, to invest in AI safeguards to reduce the risk of misuse, to research the behavior and inner workings of AI models to help us align them to beneficial goals, to give our AI models for free to scientists, and to launch a fellowship program that pairs early-career Claude users with nonprofits to help extend the benefits of AI. Anthropic 是一家公益性公司(Public Benefit Corporation),我们的使命是确保先进人工智能模型带来的益处,并降低其风险。这一公益使命促使我们采取了诸多行动,例如:投资人工智能安全防护措施以减少滥用风险;研究人工智能模型的行为与内部运作机制,以帮助我们将其与有益的目标对齐;向科学家免费提供我们的模型;以及发起一项奖学金计划,将处于职业生涯早期的 Claude 用户与非营利组织对接,以帮助推广人工智能的益处。
To truly act in the public interest, we need to fully understand the hopes and concerns the public has about this new technology. As part of our new initiative on hard questions, we’re taking further steps to understand people’s views and questions on a variety of AI-related topics, and transparently chart our progress toward our public benefit goals. 为了真正代表公众利益,我们需要充分理解公众对这项新技术所持有的希望与担忧。作为我们“尖锐问题”新倡议的一部分,我们正在采取进一步措施,以了解人们对各类人工智能相关议题的看法与疑问,并透明地记录我们在实现公益目标方面的进展。
We’ve already been laying the groundwork, asking thousands of people for their views on AI: 我们已经为此奠定了基础,向数千人征询了他们对人工智能的看法:
-
We’ve begun the Anthropic Public Record—a public survey that, in its first round, asked 52,000 Americans to set out their biggest hopes and concerns about this technology;
-
我们启动了“Anthropic 公共记录”(Anthropic Public Record)——这是一项公共调查,在第一轮中,我们询问了 52,000 名美国人,请他们阐述对这项技术最大的希望与担忧;
-
We surveyed 81,000 Claude users across 159 countries and 70 languages through our Anthropic Interviewer;
-
我们通过“Anthropic 访谈员”(Anthropic Interviewer)调查了来自 159 个国家、使用 70 种语言的 81,000 名 Claude 用户;
-
We conducted dozens of in-person focus groups and convened sessions with groups whose work and traditions bear on the questions raised by AI; and
-
我们进行了数十场线下焦点小组讨论,并与那些工作和传统与人工智能所引发的问题密切相关的群体召开了会议;以及
-
We’ve been studying the use of Claude through anonymized, real-world data.
-
我们一直通过匿名化的真实世界数据来研究 Claude 的使用情况。
We created the Anthropic Institute—a research effort within the company with the goal of confronting the most significant challenges that AI will pose to society—and since early in our company’s history our Long-Term Benefit Trust has provided impartial oversight on how effectively we’re advancing our public benefit mission. 我们成立了“Anthropic 研究所”(Anthropic Institute)——这是公司内部的一项研究计划,旨在应对人工智能将给社会带来的最重大挑战。自公司成立初期起,我们的“长期利益信托”(Long-Term Benefit Trust)就一直对我们推进公益使命的有效性进行公正的监督。
Now, we’re explicitly asking you to send us your hardest questions on AI: questions about AI’s effects on jobs, society, and families; questions about how we achieve the dramatic potential of AI for science and medicine; questions about where one of the most powerful technologies in human history can take us next. 现在,我们诚挚地邀请您向我们提出您关于人工智能最尖锐的问题:关于人工智能对就业、社会和家庭的影响;关于我们如何实现人工智能在科学和医学领域的巨大潜力;以及关于这项人类历史上最强大的技术之一将把我们带向何方。
In return, we’ll publicly track and report the specific actions we’re taking to address those questions—and we’ll be clear about the ways in which we might fall short of our stated goals. 作为回应,我们将公开追踪并报告我们为解决这些问题所采取的具体行动,并坦诚地说明我们在哪些方面可能未能达到既定目标。
