THE GLITZY gatheringin Washington on September 29th to roll out(推出、正式发布) America.gov had more in common with an iPhone launch than the announcement of a government website. The new portal(门户网站), powered by large language models from Google and SpaceXAI, would transform how Americans receive federal services, officials declared. Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, strode the stage as if trying to be(仿佛想要成为) a besuited Steve Jobs(苹果公司联合创始人,以产品发布会著称), explaining how an artificial-intelligence (AI) chatbot would soon make it easier for Americans to get passports.
9月29日,华盛顿一场光鲜耀眼的发布会推出了America.gov,其排场更像iPhone新品发布,而非政府网站上线。官员们宣称,这个新门户由谷歌和SpaceXAI的大语言模型驱动,将彻底改变美国人获取联邦服务的方式。国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥大步走上台,活像一位西装革履的史蒂夫·乔布斯,向观众解释一款人工智能聊天机器人将如何很快让美国人办护照变得更轻松。
The jamboree(盛大集会、狂欢活动) was followed by a White House lunch with tech leaders to sign a “constitution” to police themselves(自我监管、自我约束), then by the announcement, on October 4th, of a “Super Intelligence Force”, adopting the term for AI that Donald Trump has now decree(颁布、下令)d by executive order(通过行政令). Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence, will lead the force, co-ordinating the government’s engagement with not just AI firms and infrastructure operators but consumers and religious groups.
这场盛会之后,白宫又与科技领袖共进午餐,签署了一份自我约束的“宪法”;接着在10月4日宣布成立“超级智能部队”,采用了特朗普如今已通过行政令正式确立的AI称谓。国家情报总监杰伊·克莱顿将领导这支部队,负责协调政府与AI企业、基础设施运营商乃至消费者和宗教团体的往来。
All this is part of Mr Trump’s new effort to sell sceptical(怀疑的、持疑态度的) Americans on the benefits of AI. It is a task with high stakes(高风险、赌注很大). The president is loth(不愿的、勉强的) to restrain the AI boom, which on October 6th propel(推动、驱使)led American markets to a record high.
这一切都是特朗普新努力的一部分:向心存疑虑的美国人推销AI的好处。这项任务赌注极高。总统不愿给AI热潮踩刹车——正是这股热潮在10月6日将美国股市推上历史新高。
