Warnings about what artificial intelligence might do in the future – together with alarming reports of what it has gotten up to already – are being issued so quickly that even security experts have difficulty triaging what to worry about.(关于人工智能未来可能做什么的警告——再加上有关它已经干了些什么的惊人报道——发布得如此之快,以至于连安全专家都难以判断该优先担心什么。)

Yet a report this week from Anthropic’s offensive(进攻性的;攻击性的) research team grabbed attention by describing a new, practical threat, one devoid of(缺乏;没有) human characteristics or apocalyptic(末日的;世界毁灭的) musings. The red team(红队:模拟攻击的安全测试团队), as such internal testers are called, said it created a malicious AI program that spread autonomously(自主地;独立地) through internet-connected “smart” televisions and could do the same inside other ordinary devices. While machines running AI usually need a fair amount of computing power, the researchers said that their program split parts of itself among 15 televisions and was still able to function by using a bit of power from each.(运行AI的机器通常需要相当强的算力,但研究人员表示,他们的程序将自身拆分到15台电视上,通过从每台电视借用一点算力,仍能正常运行。)
然而,Anthropic进攻性研究团队本周发布的一份报告引起了关注,它描述了一种新的、现实的威胁,这种威胁不带有任何人类特征或末日式的遐想。这个“红队”——内部测试人员的称呼——表示,他们制造了一个恶意AI程序,它能通过联网的“智能”电视自主传播,并能在其他普通设备内部做同样的事。运行AI的机器通常需要相当强的算力,但研究人员表示,他们的程序将自身拆分到15台电视上,通过从每台电视借用一点算力,仍能正常运行。
In addition to evoking the horcruxes that kept pieces of Lord Voldemort’s soul alive within objects in the Harry Potter series, the report alarmed some professionals because the generally weak security of smart televisions and many other “internet of things” devices would be very hard to correct, even with a concerted effort.(这份报告让人联想到《哈利·波特》系列中存放伏地魔灵魂碎片的魂器,除此之外,它还令一些专业人士感到担忧,因为智能电视和许多其他“物联网”设备的安全性普遍薄弱,即使齐心协力也很难纠正。)
