CNN Top News|Anthropic公司拒绝五角大楼最新提议:“我们无法昧着良心同意他们的要求”
Anthropic公司拒绝了五角大楼修改合同的最新提议,并表示这些修改未能消除该公司对人工智能可能被用于大规模监控或全自主武器的担忧。
五角大楼与Anthropic公司就克劳德(Claude)的使用限制问题存在分歧。克劳德是首个被用于军方机密网络的人工智能系统。
美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞思周二对Anthropic公司首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代表示,如果Anthropic不允许其人工智能模型被用于"所有合法用途",五角大楼将取消该公司价值2亿美元的合同。赫格塞思称,除合同终止外,Anthropic还将被列为"供应链风险"企业——这一分类通常适用于与外国对手有关联的公司。
Anthropic公司在一份声明中表示,五角大楼的新措辞看似是一种妥协,但“附带的法律术语使得这些保障措施可被随意无视”。
阿莫迪(Amodei)在周四发布的一篇长篇博客中写道:"我深信,利用人工智能捍卫美国及其他民主国家,并击败我们的专制对手,具有关乎存亡的重要意义。"
阿莫迪(Amodei)表示,Anthropic公司理解军事决策应由五角大楼而非私营企业作出。但他同时指出:"在少数特定情况下,我们认为人工智能可能侵蚀而非捍卫民主价值观。"以大规模监控和自主武器为例,"这些应用已超出当前技术能安全可靠实现的范畴"。
阿莫迪(Amodei)表示,五角大楼的"威胁不会改变我们的立场:我们无法昧着良心同意他们的请求。"
美国国防部未立即回应置评请求。
Anthropic is rejecting the Pentagons latest offer to change their contract, saying the changes do not satisfy the companys concerns that AI could be used for mass surveillance or in fully autonomous weapons.
The Pentagon and Anthropic are at odds over restrictions the company places on the use of Claude, the first AI system to be used in the militarys classified network.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday that if Anthropic does not allow its AI model to be used for all lawful purposes, the Pentagon would cancel Anthropics $200 million contract. In addition to the contract cancellation, Anthropic would be deemed a supply chain risk, a classification normally reserved for companies connected to foreign adversaries, Hegseth said.
Anthropic said in a statement that the Pentagons new language was framed as a compromise but was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will.
In a lengthy blog post on Thursday, Amodei wrote: I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries.
Amodei said Anthropic understands that the Pentagon, not private companies, makes military decisions. But in a narrow set of cases, we believe AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values. In the case of mass surveillance and autonomous weapons are outside the bounds of what todays technology can safely and reliably do.
Amodei said the Pentagons threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
