大模型工程正加剧生态与意义危机，需重构NLP发展路径
Big AI is accelerating the metacrisis: What can we do?
- 指出大模型工程是当前多重危机的加速器
- 揭示技术背后财富集中与地球生存风险并存
- 呼吁从业者共建以人为本的可持续AI未来
世界正面临生态、意义和语言危机的交汇，形成一场元危机。大型人工智能正在加速所有这些危机。语言模型工程处于核心地位。尽管语言工程师怀有公共利益动机，且大语言模型承诺带来福祉，但这些工作正被用于为少数个人和企业创造前所未有的财富与权力，同时对地球生命造成存在性伤害。作为一门职业，我们必须紧急团结起来，探索替代方案，并设计一个以人类繁荣为基础、立足于生机勃勃星球的自然语言处理未来。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The world is in the grip of ecological, meaning, and language crises that are converging into a metacrisis. Big AI is accelerating them all. LLM engineering sits at the core. Despite the public good motives of language engineers and the promise of LLMs, this work is being leveraged to create unprecedented wealth and power for a handful of individuals and corporations while causing existential harm to life on earth. As a profession, we urgently need to come together to explore alternatives and to design a life-affirming future for our field of natural language processing that is centered on human flourishing on a living planet.
