随着人工智能技术以前所未有的速度发展并日益集中在少数科技巨头手中,长期致力于推动AI负责任发展的社会活动家们,正在经历一场深刻的战略转型。他们意识到,仅仅依靠自上而下的政策游说和技术规范,或许不足以应对AI带来的深层社会挑战。
As artificial intelligence technology develops at an unprecedented pace and becomes increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few tech giants, social activists long dedicated to promoting responsible AI development are undergoing a profound strategic transformation. They realize that relying solely on top-down policy lobbying and technical regulations may not be sufficient to address the deep societal challenges brought by AI.
一份最新的报告呼吁,这些倡导团体必须将其工作的重点,更紧密地与广泛的经济困境联系起来。这意味着要揭露AI与日益加剧的经济不平等、就业结构的转变以及普通民众物质生活所受影响之间的关联。
A new report urges these advocacy groups to more closely link their work to broader economic struggles. This means exposing the connections between AI and growing economic inequality, changes in employment structures, and the impact on the material lives of ordinary people.
过去,许多讨论可能围绕着特定AI工具(如大型语言模型)的伦理问题打转。但现在,新的策略强调要超越对个体技术的评价,转而质问这些掌握强大AI能力的公司是否拥有不受约束的权力,以及这种权力对整个社会福祉是否有利。
In the past, many discussions might have revolved around the ethical issues of specific AI tools (such as large language models). But now, the new strategy emphasizes moving beyond evaluating individual technologies to questioning whether companies possessing powerful AI capabilities have unchecked power, and whether this power is beneficial for the welfare of society as a whole.
这种视角的转变并非空穴来风。一些早期的努力已经显示出通过施压取得改变的潜力,例如在医疗健康领域,活动家的努力促使一些医院建立了新的AI监督机制或调整了自动化工具的应用范围。
This shift in perspective is not groundless. Some early efforts have shown the potential for achieving change through pressure, for example, in the healthcare sector, where activists’ efforts led some hospitals to institute new AI oversight mechanisms or adjust the scope of automated tool usage.
因此,未来的AI抗争将更注重从基层积蓄力量,赋能工人和其他受影响的群体,帮助他们抵抗AI的不当部署方式,并挑战科技行业将某些负面后果(如大规模失业)描绘成不可避免的叙事。这是一场将技术伦理与社会经济正义深度融合的运动。
Therefore, future AI activism will focus more on building power from the ground up, empowering workers and other affected groups to resist the improper deployment of AI, and challenging the tech industry’s narrative that portrays certain negative outcomes (such as widespread job loss) as inevitable. This is a movement that deeply integrates technological ethics with socioeconomic justice.
