Elon Musk to attend AI safety summit UK

马斯克参加英国人工智能峰会

World leaders and artificial intelligence experts are gathering for the first ever Global AI safety Summit set to look at the risks of the fast growing technology and also consider how to regulate it. US Vice President Kamala Harris and the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are among those who are attending. Along with at least two of the so-called Godfathers of AI and Elon Musk, yeah, he's coming as well. It's being hosted at the historic Bletchley Park as Zoe Kimman reports.

世界各国领导人和人工智能专家将齐聚一堂，参加首届全球人工智能安全峰会，探讨这一快速发展的技术所带来的风险，并考虑如何对其进行监管。美国副总统哈里斯和欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩将出席会议。还有至少两位所谓的人工智能教父，以及马斯克，是的，马斯克也会来。会议将在历史悠久的布莱切利公园举行，来看佐伊·金曼的报道。

The secret work carried out in Bletchley Park, once helped the allies win World War II. Today the UK government will host a global summit to address a new kind of threat posed this time by super fast and super smart computers. We can set up processes to really delve into what the risks actually are. So that we can then put up the necessary guard rails whilst embracing the technology. Artificial intelligence comes with lots of promises from creating new medicines to revolutionizing the way we work,  but it also has the potential to cause harm.

The focus of the discussions today will be on cyber security, an unstoppable AI generated computer virus for example, and bio terrorism could the same tools that can create new medicines, also be misused to invent poisons.

在布莱切利公园进行的秘密工作曾经帮助盟军赢得了第二次世界大战。今天，英国政府将主办一次全球峰会，以应对这次由超快、超智能计算机带来的新型威胁。我们可以建立一套程序，真正深入研究风险到底是什么。这样，我们就能在拥抱技术的同时设置必要的防火墙。从创造新药到彻底改变我们的工作方式，人工智能带来了很多希望，但它也有可能造成伤害。

今天讨论的重点是网络安全，例如人工智能生成的不可阻挡的计算机病毒，以及生物恐怖主义可能利用能够创造新药物的同样工具来发明毒药。
