AI研究者应牵头军事AI管控,防范技术滥用风险。
AI Researchers Must Help Lead Arms Control to Mitigate Military AI Risks

- 呼吁研究者主导军事AI风险防控的技术研究。
- 指出当前军事AI整合已催生新型安全威胁。
- 适合关注技术伦理与国际安全的AI从业者。
AI能力的进步促使研究人员和公众更关注其全球影响。一个紧迫的近期问题是军事AI应用的监管。军备制造商和国防承包商正越来越多地投资于AI技术,并与AI公司建立合作,形成日益壮大的联合体,亟需军事领导人、军控外交专家和AI研究者协同努力,确保更安全的未来。尽管研究人员常聚焦超智能AI的长远影响,但这一视角难以应对军事应用中AI带来的即时挑战。成功需正视并缓解前沿AI模型在军事系统中的集成风险。军控曾有效降低过往重大风险,核威慑的经验可为AI安全与安保研究提供验证与外交创新的指导。因此,AI研究者必须承担起技术研究责任,明确并缓解军事环境中的不稳定性。鉴于新职责及现有解决方案不可靠,我们主张研究者应主动引领军控研究,以最小化军事AI应用的风险。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The advancement of AI capabilities compels researchers and the public to be more aware of its potential worldwide impact. A pressing near-term concern is the regulation of military AI applications. Armament manufacturers and defense contractors are increasingly investing in AI capabilities and forging partnerships with AI companies, creating a burgeoning coalition that demands military leaders, arms control diplomacy experts, and AI researchers collaborate to ensure a safer future. While AI researchers often focus on the long-term implications of superintelligent AI, this approach may not adequately address the immediate challenges posed by AI in military applications. Success requires acknowledging and mitigating the emerging risks of frontier AI models that plan to be integrated into defense applications, like military AI systems. Arms control has reduced past catastrophic risks, so lessons learned from nuclear deterrence can guide AI safety and security research towards innovations in verification and diplomacy. AI researchers, however, must assist in leading the technical research that clearly defines and alleviates instability in military settings. Given these new responsibilities and the lack of sufficiently reliable solutions, we argue that AI researchers must take a leading role in advancing arms control research to minimize risk in military AI applications.
