Trump and Mike Johnson think the AI industry is overreacting

特朗普与迈克·约翰逊认为人工智能行业反应过度

The Republicans fear slowing down AI development could give China the edge. 共和党人担心放缓人工智能的发展可能会让中国占据优势。

Yesterday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a lengthy open letter saying it was time to “pace the frontier” and slow down AI development. OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Elon Musk both agreed, publicly voicing their support on X. Even Alphabet’s Demis Hassabis offered tentative support for Amodei’s proposal. 昨天，Anthropic 首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代（Dario Amodei）发表了一封长篇公开信，称现在是时候“调整前沿步伐”并放缓人工智能开发了。OpenAI 的萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）和埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）均表示赞同，并在 X 上公开表达了支持。甚至 Alphabet 的德米斯·哈萨比斯（Demis Hassabis）也对阿莫代提议表示了初步支持。

Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, seem to think the AI executives are being overreactive and fear that a pause could lead to China outpacing the US in the AI race. According to the Financial Times, Trump said “Look, we’re leading China in AI … and, frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI, wins.” 然而，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）似乎认为这些人工智能高管反应过度，并担心暂停开发可能导致中国在人工智能竞赛中超越美国。据《金融时报》报道，特朗普表示：“听着，我们在人工智能领域领先于中国……坦率地说，我想保持这种状态，因为谁赢得了人工智能，谁就赢得了未来。”

Johnson echoed those sentiments on CNN, telling Jake Tapper that rushing to place restrictions on AI development could be a “national security threat.” He urged people not to panic. “If Congress just races in and does some sort of emergency session to try and regulate AI, we will lose the race to China.” 约翰逊在 CNN 上附和了这些观点，他告诉杰克·塔珀（Jake Tapper），仓促对人工智能开发施加限制可能会构成“国家安全威胁”。他敦促人们不要惊慌。“如果国会只是匆忙召开某种紧急会议试图监管人工智能，我们将输掉与中国的竞赛。”
