2023年4月17日分享:首先,安東尼·菲格羅亞想讓每個人都知道他是一個大相信人工智能的力量和潛力。作為公司的共同創始人兼首席技術官Rootstrap以成果為推動力的軟件開發公司,他既驚訝又害怕艾未未的潛在的基於到目前為止他已經見過。“我認為最大的危險是,我們不知道的危險,”他說。“我們給計算機指令來解決一個問題。我們將計算機大量數據,對整個語料庫的數據中創建我們的整個曆史。會比人類更聰明嗎?我們能增加自己沒有勞動力市場的一個大問題嗎?”他呼籲艾未未的直接監管。菲格羅亞Rootstrap成立於2011年。公司創建軟件來支持應用程序,手機應用程序,和網站對企業和工作來說,穀歌,和銷售團隊。“我們創造的一切需要從頭開始。 If you have an idea, we have all the processes to move this idea from a napkin to reality,” he said by way of describing the company. Like the rest of us, Figueroa is following all the news and developments about Open AI and its product ChatGPT, for better and worse. The bot recently included a professor on a sexual harassment list and cited The Washington Post as its source. The story was never written nor appeared in the paper, and the ChatGPT copy was full of all kinds of fictional details. The technology also is being blamed for generating at least one false article attributed to the Guardian, forcing the publication to form an internal working group that includes engineers to learn more about how ChatGPT works. Italy this month banned the use of ChatGPT, citing user privacy concerns, and the move forced ad agency Wunderman Thompson’s office in that country to cease using it. “I don’t think it makes sense to be honest,” Figueroa said. “It’s more of a political statement.” New iterations of the technology are already underway, he said. After GPT-4, there will be versions five, six, and seven, and endless other applications. In March, Elon Musk and other high-profile tech executives published an open letter calling for a six-month pause in development beyond GPT-4. “…recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict, or reliably control,” the letter said. Figueroa does not agree with stopping the use of ChatGPT, GPT-4, or further developments of any AI technology. First, it’s disruptive to the free flow of business and ideas, and second, the genie is already out of the bottle. He sees AI’s value in enhancing the abilities of humans in all areas—medicine, engineering, advertising, and countless other fields. Still, Figueroa is emphatic that some type of regulation is needed, if only in the form of education for starters. “Regulation implies [the formation] of ethical guidelines to anyone who is going to work with some type of AI,” he said. “And if this AI is being used in a way that it shouldn’t be used.” With an ethics framework in place, Figueroa believes regulators will be able to more effectively explore any instances of misuse in AI. Should the company that created the AI be held responsible? Or the person who used the technology in a certain way? Figueroa compares the misuse of AI to the misuse of the Internet. “The Internet can be used for child pornography,” he said. “But you go after abusers. You don’t go after people creating the internet infrastructure.” At a conference earlier this month, FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya pronounced that AI is already regulated under existing civil rights and consumer-protection laws. In the same set of remarks, he called on AI developers to be more transparent about its architecture, hardware, and dataset construction.” While Figueroa still thinks new regulation is needed, he remains optimistic about humans’ ability to adapt to using the technology. “We see every single other technological revolution in history had short-term problems, short-term tragedies,” he said. “But you know, in the long run, it was something that changed and created what we are today. And I think it’s at this point, it’s unpredictable but unavoidable. And that’s the key thing.”
