制定全球人工智能“游戏规则”，中国不能缺席

China Daily

导读：人工智能已成为中美科技竞争的“主战场”之一。近期美西方接连举办人工智能安全相关会议，试图建立以西方为核心的人工智能全球规范，把中国等发展中国家排除在外。与此同时，中国也在积极提出自己的人工智能治理议程。中国已不再只是国际规则的追随者，而是正加入世界政治、经济、金融、技术和安全领域的规则制定者行列，在全球人工智能规则制定的过程中不能缺席。近来，全球范围内关于人工智能安全、伦理和原则的讨论获得了显著进展，为各国加强国际人工智能监管奠定了基础。继2023年11月在英国伦敦布莱切利公园举办的首届人工智能安全峰会之后，人工智能首尔峰会于今年5月21日至22日举行。该峰会的一个重要成就，是启动了首个国际人工智能安全研究所网络。英国、美国、澳大利亚、加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、日本、韩国、新加坡和欧盟签署了协议，标志着多边合作迈出了重要一步。然而，值得注意的是，中国并未在签署方之列。该网络的目标是建立一个多边共识，涉及人工智能的研究、测试和标准制定，从而增强不同地区人工智能安全倡议的互操作性，并简化全球人工智能安全管理。峰会期间，包括亚马逊、谷歌、DeepMind、Inflection AI、Meta、三星电子、阿联酋科技创新研究所和智谱科技在内的16家全球人工智能技术公司表示将遵守人工智能安全承诺。这一承诺旨在建立负责任的人工智能安全治理框架，并确保人工智能安全措施的公共透明度。另一项重大进展是，9月5日，包括美国、欧盟和英国在内的57个国家和地区共同签署了全球首个具有法律约束力的人工智能国际公约。该公约旨在为与人工智能相关的危害确定法律责任，确保不歧视，保护隐私，并在人工智能系统的整个生命周期内促进透明度。此外，该公约还致力于在推动人工智能创新的同时，与当代社会经济发展目标保持一致，并促进全球合作。然而，包括中国在内的许多亚洲主要国家尚未签署这一条约。鉴于中国在全球人工智能技术发展中的关键作用，一些人可能会批评中国在最近的人工智能联盟中缺席。然而，中国的缺席并不代表中国对人工智能安全议程的漠视或不合作，而是表明中国有意同这些以西方国家为中心的“规范”保持距离，尤其是在全球规范和规则仍在演变中的新兴技术领域。图片来源：中国日报今年7月4日在上海举办的2024世界人工智能大会暨人工智能全球治理高级别会议，便是中方这一立场的有力证明。尽管自2018年起，世界人工智能大会每年都会召开，但今年是首次明确聚焦于人工智能安全与治理议题，李强总理在会上强调了国际合作的重要性，这突显了中国在塑造全球人工智能议程方面的积极姿态。此次会议吸引了近1000名外国嘉宾，包括业界高层管理人员、民间社会代表、研究人员和政府官员。本次会议的重要成果包括清华大学人工智能国际治理研究院牵头的《全球人工智能治理与中国方案》研究报告（征求意见稿）和新出版物《前沿人工智能：发展与治理》，这些成果共同阐述了中国对全球人工智能治理的愿景。此外，世界人工智能大会还发布了《中国人工智能重大应用场景白皮书》和“智能向善全球伙伴计划”。此外，《人工智能全球治理上海宣言》明确支持联合国发挥主渠道作用，欢迎加强南北合作和南南合作，提升发展中国家的代表性和发言权。中国未加入由西方国家主导的人工智能联盟，这一事实凸显了在传统强国与新兴强国之间建立沟通桥梁、促进包容互动的重要性。2023年，第78届联合国大会通过了中国主提的加强人工智能能力建设国际合作决议，140多个国家参加决议联署。各国经常将其外交政策目标与国内发展需求相协调。例如，在美国，人工智能领导地位是国家的关键优先事项。为响应拜登总统的行政命令，美国政府已采取主动措施，加强国内的人工智能安全框架。2月8日，美国商务部长雷蒙多宣布，在国家标准与技术研究院下成立美国人工智能安全研究所联盟。AISIC汇集了来自民间社会、产业界、学术界和研究实验室的280多个机构，共同致力于制定严格的人工智能安全标准和政策指导方针。图片来源：中国日报此外，包括白宫、商务部、能源部、交通部和国家科学基金会在内的众多美国联邦机构，均已采取重大措施，以加强国内人工智能安全。这些机构发布了100多份技术指导文件和政策倡议，旨在开发人工智能测试平台、模型评估工具和风险管理框架。这些国内努力反映了与美国在全球人工智能治理方面的雄心相一致的监管力度强化。一些值得注意的文件包括NIST的《人工智能风险管理框架》、美国国务院协调制定的《人工智能与人权风险管理概况》，以及国防部和国土安全部的《识别关键政府系统和软件漏洞的新人工智能工具试点》报告。这些举措说明美国政府日益认识到人工智能的巨大潜力，以及应对相应风险的必要性，特别是在国家安全和公共安全领域。在人工智能日益塑造全球格局的时代，某些关键参与者——尤其是中国——缺席由西方主导的主要人工智能联盟，表明有必要在新兴技术治理方面建立更广泛的公共论坛。随着中国继续通过《人工智能全球治理上海宣言》等平台倡导更具包容性的方法，未来人工智能监管模式可能是发达国家联盟与联合框架下多边体系制衡的结果。只有加强国际合作，才能确保人工智能技术以负责任、公平的方式发展，并超越地区利益，推动制定真正的全球标准，造福全人类。综上所述，人工智能被视为重塑经济、军事实力和全球权力格局的重要技术领域。中美两国均认为人工智能领域是争夺技术领导地位的关键“战场”，这不仅涉及发展人工智能技术，还涉及制定人工智能的全球规则和规范。中美在制定人工智能安全规则和标准方面的竞争，是一个守成大国和一个崛起大国之间更广泛竞争的缩影，对技术、治理和国际关系的未来具有重要意义。今天，中国已不再只是国际规则的被动接受者，而是正凭借其经济实力、技术创新和有效的治理模式，加入世界政治、经济、金融、技术和安全规则制定者的行列——人工智能领域也是如此。在全球人工智能规范制定的过程中，中国绝不能被排除在外。图片来源：中国日报本文原文发表在中国日报国际版，原标题为 "Can't leave China out of AI" 出品：中国日报中国观察智库责编：宋平刘夏编辑：张钊实习生陆添玥亦有贡献【责任编辑：高琳琳】

和评理｜关税“百害而无一利”：美方执迷不悟害人更害己

China Daily

美国新一届政府即将上台，候任总统本人也以“难以预测”著称，施政不确定性引发广泛担忧。但对于所有心存忧虑的人来说，未来至少有一件事是板上钉钉的，那就是这位总统一旦上任，必将再次挥舞“关税大棒”。 “我是关税的信奉者，我认为‘关税’是最美丽的单词，它是如此美妙，会让我们变得富有。”此前在接受美国全国广播公司（NBC）采访时，特朗普曾这样表态。对这位担任过美国总统、目前又是候任美国总统的人来说，对关税的热爱与奉行，是他少有的“言行一致”之处，在二次入主白宫后，关税也有望继续成为他在外交领域的政策武器。在第一个总统任期内，特朗普似乎并没有充分认识到滥用关税措施给美国自身带来的负面影响，这一任或许将让他更好地意识到这一点。特朗普首个总统任期内发布的关税措施，以及他的继任者拜登后续追加的关税措施已经产生了累积效应，对美国经济和美国消费者造成了切实的影响。如果特朗普还想继续依靠关税这一手段来将美国的意志强加于他国，他不可能对这些影响毫不知情。如果不计入关税的因素，对美国经济现状的任何评估都不可信。所有负责任的分析也都会证实，对过度征收关税的依赖违背了经济常识，并极有可能适得其反。截至目前，美国为抗击通胀所付出的努力可以说是成效甚微，我们并不知道作为美国候任总统的特朗普，对此有多少了解。但如果他真能更广泛听取可信的经济学家、商界以及美国消费者的声音，对他以及他要领导的国家而言，自然更有益处。就当下来看，这位当选总统似乎确信，那些反对关税战略的人夸大了自身的担忧。在竞选活动中，他曾对美国选民表示，关税有利于恢复工厂就业、降低政府债务，并让其政府有能力补贴儿童保育工作。他在接受NBC采访时也表示：“关税没有让美国人付出任何代价，关税让美国经济更加伟大。”他甚至宣称，自己“用关税制止了战争”。但是，当被追问是否能保证美国消费者无需为关税承担更高的价格时，特朗普又显得不那么“笃定”了，他表示“不相信”自己的关税政策会抬高美国家庭的消费价格，随即又退后一步说“我不能承诺任何事”。他当然不能。如果他能认真研究一下一段时间以来关税造成的真实影响，他或许就该对自己宣布将施行的关税政策仔细斟酌。有非常充分的证据可以向他证明，关税的本质就是一把“双刃剑”，在美国对华发起贸易战的过程中，这表现得尤为明显。举例来说，在本次接受NBC采访的过程中，记者就告诉特朗普，在他的第一个任期内，关税让美国人承受了大约800亿美元的额外损失。美方数据显示，受贸易战影响，2018年和2019年美国农业收入减少270亿美元。不仅如此，对进口钢铁征收关税也没有给美国工厂带来更多就业机会。保护主义者们热衷于使用关税，因为这能对竞争对手产生立竿见影的打压效果。但凡事总有另一面。当对生产方施加太高的税时，后者就会要求零售方在售卖其产品时提高价格，以抵消额外产生的成本。零售商们随即会将这些进口来的商品以更高的价格出售给终端的消费者，以弥补价格差异。美国国内多项民意调查均显示，大部分美国人认为，关税造成了其国内商品价格的上涨，经济学家们也普遍预测称，关税导致美国家庭每年开支增加了数千美元。包括汽配零售企业汽车地带、运动服饰企业哥伦比亚以及全球最大工具生产商史丹利百得在内的一众企业负责人均已对此表态，正如汽车地带公司首席执行官所言，如果美国下一届政府决意执行当选总统的计划提高关税，公司“将把关税成本转嫁给消费者”。美国国内的大型零售连锁企业如塔吉特、沃尔玛等，预计也将紧随其后。毕竟，面对特朗普计划加征的关税，无论企业大小，结果都是一样的“无法承受”。本文编译自《中国日报》12月10日社论原标题：Tariffs bad for business, bad for US firms and consumers, and bad for all trading partners 出品：中国日报社论编辑室中国日报中文网编译：涂恬编辑：李海鹏【责任编辑：涂恬】
