AMERICAN LIFE is full of things that are billed as(被标榜为，被宣传为) voluntary(自愿的，志愿的) but turn out not to be(结果并非如此). Tipping. Joining the local parent-teacher association. And now getting permission to release your cutting-edge(前沿的，尖端的) artificial-intelligence model(人工智能模型) to the world.
美国生活中充斥着许多被标榜为自愿、实则不然的事情。给小费。加入本地家长教师协会。而现在，获得许可向世界发布你尖端的人工智能模型也成了其中之一。
On June 26th OpenAI said that its newest model, GPT-5.6 Sol, would be restricted to a handful of(少数，一小撮) “trusted partners”. The same day, America’s government eased(放宽，缓解) export controls(出口管制) on Mythos 5, another advanced model from Anthropic, a competing lab, and lifted them entirely on June 30th. All of this marks a haphazard(随意的，杂乱无章的) revolution in America’s governance of AI. “In a matter of weeks”, observes Dean Ball, a former AI adviser in the Trump administration, “US federal AI policy has gone from implausibly libertarian to increasingly draconian(严酷的，苛刻的) and opaque.”
6月26日，OpenAI表示其最新模型GPT-5.6 Sol将仅限于少数‘可信合作伙伴’使用。同日，美国政府放宽了对Anthropic（一家竞争对手实验室）另一款高级模型Mythos 5的出口管制，并于6月30日完全取消。这一切标志着美国AI治理领域一场混乱的革命。特朗普政府前AI顾问迪安·鲍尔评论道：‘短短几周内，美国联邦AI政策就从难以置信的自由放任变成了日益严苛和不透明。’
The Trump administration assumed office railing against(猛烈抨击) regulation, which it feared would suffocate(扼杀，使窒息) innovation and allow China to catch up. “The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing(无济于事的担忧，焦虑) about safety,” declared J.D. Vance, the vice-president, at a summit in Paris last year. As recently as June 2nd Donald Trump issued an executive order on AI governance that asked frontier labs(前沿实验室) for early access to new models and co-operation on cyber risks(网络安全风险)—both of which were happening anyway. The White House insisted that nothing in the order was to be construed as “a mandatory governmental licensing, preclearance or permitting requirement”.
特朗普政府上台后大肆抨击监管，认为监管会扼杀创新，让中国迎头赶上。副总统J.D.万斯去年在巴黎一次峰会上宣称：‘人工智能的未来不会靠对安全的过度担忧来赢得。’就在6月2日，唐纳德·特朗普发布了一项关于AI治理的行政令，要求前沿实验室提前提供新模型访问权限，并在网络安全风险方面进行合作——而这两件事本来就已在做。白宫坚称，该行政令中的任何内容都不得解释为‘强制性的政府许可、预审或批准要求’。
