中文摘要
人工智能（AI）的进步是一把双刃剑。一方面，随着AI增强我们的创新能力，这些进步可能促进经济增长。另一方面，许多专家担忧这些进步会带来生存风险：创造出与人类价值观不一致的超级智能可能导致灾难性后果，甚至可能导致人类灭绝。本文探讨了在存在这些机遇与风险的情况下，AI技术的最优使用问题：在什么条件下我们应当继续推动AI的快速发展，又在什么条件下应当停止？(JEL D11, D81, H43, I31, O31)
Abstract
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they may increase economic growth as AI augments our ability to innovate. On the other hand, many experts worry that these advances entail existential risk: creating a superintelligence misaligned with human values could lead to catastrophic outcomes, even possibly human extinction. This paper considers the optimal use of AI technology in the presence of these opportunities and risks. Under what conditions should we continue the rapid progress of AI, and under what conditions should we stop? (JEL D11, D81, H43, I31, O31)
