2023世界人工智慧大會（WAIC）6日正式開幕。特斯拉執行長馬斯克於會上表示，特斯拉非常有興趣將自己的自動駕駛技術與其他汽車製造商進行分享，這個技術是超越時代的，而且會讓汽車使用率大大增加。並稱，“中國一旦下定決定要做一件事情，就一定能做好”。
綜合澎湃新聞、財聯社報道，2023世界人工智能大會（WAIC）於7月6日至8日在上海世博中心及世博展覽館舉行。馬斯克6日“現身”大會暢談人形機器人Optimus、自動駕駛及人工智慧等高科技相關議題。他指出，未來地球上機器人數量將會多於人類數量，“特斯拉非常有興趣將自己的自動駕駛技術與其他汽車製造商進行分享，這個技術是超越時代的，而且會讓汽車使用率大大增加”。
此外，對於當前特斯拉自動駕駛的進度，馬斯克認為，隨著人工智慧技術的快速發展，已經非常接近沒有人類幹預的全自動駕駛狀態，“我們已經在美國的道路上測試了，現在很少會需要人工幹預了，這是一個預測。”他進一步表示預計在大概今年年末，就有可能實現全麵自動駕駛。“我覺得要實現全自動駕駛或者說這種4至5級的全自動駕駛，這個階段大概就今年晚一點時候就能實現。我以前也做過預測都錯了，但是我覺得此刻做的預測比以往任何時候更接近於現實。”
另外，馬斯克還談及中國稱，“中國一旦下定決定要做一件事情，就一定能做好，各個產業都是這樣，包括人工智慧，相信中國會有很強的人工智慧能力”。
據悉，2023世界人工智能大會（WAIC）已是上海連續第六年舉辦世界人工智慧大會，而本屆大會以“智聯世界生成未來”為主題，由上海市政府和國家發改委、工信部、科技部、國家網信辦、中國科學院、中國工程院、中國科協等7個部門共同主辦。
Elon Musk says he has faith in China’s ability to develop AI
- ‘China is going to be great at anything it puts its mind into. That includes … artificial intelligence,’ Musk told the World AI Conference via video
US billionaire Elon Musk said he has confidence in China’s capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but did not address the impact of Washington’s semiconductor export restrictions that have hobbled China’s ability to develop AI.
“I think, really, China is going to be great at anything it puts its mind into. That includes many different sectors – sectors of the economy, but also artificial intelligence,” Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, told the World AI Conference (WAIC), an annual event hosted by Chinese authorities to showcase Beijing’s ambitions in the technology, via video.
Musk did not directly mention US export restrictions in his remarks, which were delivered via an eight-minute video shown at the WAIC on Thursday.
Musk’s show of support comes at a time when the US government is reportedly considering further restrictions on China’s access to US semiconductors and cloud computing services, which could cripple the country’s AI development. Separately, the Biden administration is also working on a plan to limit US investments into Chinese AI, Paul Rosen, a US Treasury official, told a hearing in May.
Musk has maintained a good relationship with the Chinese government. During a visit to China in May, he was received by a number of senior Chinese officials, including foreign minister Qin Gang. Musk’s opposition to “decoupling” between the world’s two biggest economies, which were included in an official Chinese statement, echoed Beijing’s long-standing stance and were widely picked up in China.
In his video speech on Thursday, Musk talked about robots and autonomous driving. “As time goes by, it seems like, it may, at some point, exceed one to one ratio, in more robots than humans, and potentially much greater,” Musk said. “It’s a very profound change and I think we need to be careful about it to make sure it is something that benefits humanity.”
Musk stressed that Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus is designed to supplement, not replace, humans. “Optimus is intended to be helpful in human-like tasks. It is not meant to have great intelligence, but it is meant to have sufficient intelligence to do boring, repetitive or dangerous tasks that humans would much prefer not to do.”
He also expressed his concerns about deep intelligence. “I do think we should be very careful with development of, especially artificial general intelligence, or very deep intelligence,” said Musk. “Artificial general intelligence is a computer intelligence that is smarter than all humans at everything … that is something we should be concerned about,” he said, adding that “it’s important to have some sort of regulatory oversight” for the area.
On autonomous driving, Musk said Tesla is likely to achieve “full self-driving in what you call [level] 4 or 5 later this year”, meaning humans can be hands-free on the steering wheel. “I think I’ve been wrong about this prediction in the past, but we’re closer to it,” he said.
Tesla is the subject of several law suits in the US, where consumers are suing the company for misleading them on the level of its “full self driving” capability.
Musk was the highest-profile foreign speaker featured in the opening ceremony. His video speech was followed by other executives from Chinese Big Tech companies, including Chinese AI specialist SenseTime and telecoms giant Huawei Technologies Co – both under US trade sanctions.
