Viewpoint 3: Overcoming ethical dilemmas requires rethinking one's own values and codes of conduct
Two sessions: Will Sora steal human jobs, and what do you think of AI?
Last year, shortly after the debut of ChatGPT, deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) discussed in depth how to "recruit" the Chinese artificial intelligence industry. In 2024, the topic of artificial intelligence will cause a wider and more heated discussion.
On February 21, 2024, Xu Jiuping, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Chengdu CPPCC, and a distinguished professor of Sichuan University, pointed out in an interview with a cover news reporter on the development of artificial intelligence and how to "combine strong forces" between industry and technology: "Artificial intelligence has penetrated into all aspects of life and work, and learning to cooperate with humans and machines may be a basic survival ability in the future. ”
Xu Jiuping said that the current explosion of Sora has brought more impact to people than ChatGPT, and the summary is "I didn't believe it was true before, but now I don't believe it is fake".
Sora is a new generative AI model launched by AI research company OpenAI. Sora transforms text, images, audio, and more into photorealistic video.
In Xu Jiuping's view, the change of artificial intelligence to the world starts with the transformation of business models, which leads to the disappearance of some professions and also generates some new career opportunities.
"The human-machine cooperation model has arrived, because artificial intelligence has penetrated into all aspects of life and work, and learning to cooperate with humans may be a basic survival ability. Xu Jiuping pointed out that "AI is a double-edged sword, and the ethical and legal gaps brought about by AI should be considered in advance, and more prevention and preparation should be given at the policy and rule of law levels." ”
Editor-in-Chief's Comment: With the rapid development of science and technology, artificial intelligence has gradually penetrated into all aspects of our lives. From smart homes and autonomous driving to big data analytics and machine learning, artificial intelligence is changing the way we live. However, in this wave, we must also recognize the ethical challenges posed by the development of AI technology, such as data privacy, online disinformation, and online fraud.
These issues are not only related to individual rights and interests, but also affect social fairness and justice and the inheritance of human values. First of all, we need to be clear: Artificial intelligence is only a tool to achieve human goals, and its task is to assist rather than replace human beings, let alone manipulate and dominate human beings, and make human beings alienated into tools. Its value and significance lies in how human beings use it.
Second, we need to raise the public's moral awareness and critical thinking skills. Third, we also need to take a series of measures to actively respond to the challenges brought by AI. In this process, we need to maintain an open and inclusive mind, constantly learn and adapt to the development of new technologies, and at the same time need to stick to our values and moral bottom line.
