In the ever-changing world of technology, AI is like a wild horse ready to try, with infinite possibilities and subtle risks. The momentum is so strong that industry experts are starting to delve into a crucial topic β the ethics of technology. One of the biggest challenges we face now is how to govern and guide the path of AI to ensure that it can realize its potential while safeguarding human well-being.
Let's start with this high-profile webinar β the AI Development and Governance Innovation Symposium held in Beijing on December 27. At the meeting, there was a point of view that came up frequently, that is"It should be sparse and not blocked"γIn fact, such remarks are quite profound, people should wear shoes that fit, and AI governance is also needed"Tailor-made"γ
But why did such a statement become an industry consensus in the debate of so many tech bigwigs?The answer may lie in our yes"Sparse"with"Blocked"The essence of understanding. "Blocked"It represents restrictions and blockades, which can lead to the drowning of innovations, the strangulation of seedlings before they grow;While"Sparse"It refers to reasonable guidance and management, which is like educating children like enlightenment, not letting it go, but giving room for growth. In the context of AI, "sparse" means to ensure that social interests and personal privacy are not infringed, while allowing the innovation and application of AI to develop reasonably.
The experts' understanding and initiatives seem to be telling us that instead of tackling the challenges of AI with strict bans and closed policies, it is better to maximize the effectiveness of AI through coordination, regulation, and top-down guidance. As Professor Pan pointed out, AIGC brings a conceptual impact, not an operational obstacle. In the face of such an impact, what we need is calm and wise thinking, not impulsive **.
Professor Zhang Mi's words further confirm this view. She talks about the balance between technology development and risk management. She proposed the concept of "supervising models with models", pointing out how to ensure that AI works according to the rules set by humans, while also optimizing and upgrading itself.
Let's look at the practice of Alibaba's Technology Ethics Governance Committee. Their AIGC Governance and Practices*** is not a wall, but a road system with clear navigation signs to ensure that the development of AI does not deviate from our expectations and interests.
So, dear friends, do you agree with this consensus?Do you believe that we should give the AI a sky instead of walls?On this track of AI, do we choose to wave the red flag or the green flag?Your voice, your thinking, is just as important to this debate on the ethics of technology.
Technological innovation and progress are the inevitable trend of social development, and as an individual, it is better to accept and make good use of it than to be afraid. Artificial intelligence AI technology
