生成式AI的快速发展催生了对安全问题的深切关注，也推动了AI安全领域的显著进步。然而，随着该领域持续演进，一个关键问题浮现：当前的安全努力是否与人工智能的发展趋势及人类文明的长期目标相匹配？本文提出一个先进人类社会的愿景，并以此引导当前的AI安全工作。文章描绘了万物互联成为现实的未来图景，制定了迈向这一愿景的技术路线图，并针对每个发展阶段预测了可能面临的AI安全问题。通过将现有努力与该蓝图对比，本文评估了当前工作与长期需求的契合度，揭示了2020年代亟需关注的独特挑战与使命。本愿景论文旨在拓宽对AI安全的认知，强调当前工作不仅要应对即时风险，还需预见扩展中的AI生态带来的潜在威胁，从而促进人工智能与人类文明的安全可持续发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The advancements in generative AI inevitably raise concerns about their risks and safety implications, which, in return, catalyzes significant progress in AI safety. However, as this field continues to evolve, a critical question arises: are our current efforts on AI safety aligned with the advancements of AI as well as the long-term goal of human civilization? This paper presents a blueprint for an advanced human society and leverages this vision to guide current AI safety efforts. It outlines a future where the Internet of Everything becomes reality, and creates a roadmap of significant technological advancements towards this envisioned future. For each stage of the advancements, this paper forecasts potential AI safety issues that humanity may face. By projecting current efforts against this blueprint, this paper examines the alignment between the current efforts and the long-term needs, and highlights unique challenges and missions that demand increasing attention from AI safety practitioners in the 2020s. This vision paper aims to offer a broader perspective on AI safety, emphasizing that our current efforts should not only address immediate concerns but also anticipate potential risks in the expanding AI landscape, thereby promoting a safe and sustainable future of AI and human civilization.
