198Thank you, thank you madam president ladies and gentlemen谢谢,女士们,先生们
199Let me start with an obvious point in modern societies让我从现代社会的一个明显点开始
200We have long accepted as a basic rule that when a powerful industry exerts我们早就接受为一条基本规则,即当一个强大的工业发挥
201Harm and influence we introduce the governance structures that protect the public and promote its interest我们引入了保护公众和促进公众利益的治理结构
202Consider tobacco now when the links between cancer and smoking became inevitable现在考虑烟草 当癌症和吸烟的联系变得不可避免
203governments introduced引进的政府
204licensing laws advertising bans and warning labels and strong regulation the industry did not disappear it simply could not act without public颁发许可证法 广告 禁止和警告标签 和强有力的监管 行业并没有消失 它不能采取行动 没有公开
205accountability or问责制或
206alcohol we also impose酒,我们也加了
207Taxes and licensing laws and other limits税收和许可法及其他限制
208So look at social media所以看看社交媒体
209platforms operated by just a few仅由几个运行的平台
210companies such as meta X and tik-tok influence the daily lives emotions and indeed our behaviors and公司如meta X和tik-tok 影响日常生活 情绪,实际上我们的行为和
211unlike social unlike不同的社会
212addictive substances these这些致瘾物质
213systems operate through opaque algorithms that are driven only by advertising revenue and shareholder profit and系统通过不透明的算法运作,而这种算法的驱动力只是广告收入和股东利润,
214Their goal is simple.他们的目标很简单。
215It is simply to maximize revenue is simply to maximize engagement at any cost实现收入最大化就是不惜任何代价最大限度地参与
216So we have created one of the most powerful human behavioral influence systems and we have left its governance in the hands of a few因此,我们创造了一个最强大的 人类行为影响系统 我们把它的管理权 交给少数人
217Now we know these harms are no longer something that we make up现在我们知道这些伤害已经不是我们所弥补的了
218We've all experienced them and we know that they are resulting in increased我们都经历过,我们知道 他们正在导致增加
219suicide自杀
220And depression anxiety and in isolation忧郁和孤独
221So we should break this down into two types of harms because this is really the key point the scale of the harm at an因此,我们应该将它细分为两种类型的伤害,因为这确实是伤害规模的关键点。
222Individual level of course we know that vulnerable young people are being pushed to suicide content to self-harm content个人层面,我们当然知道,弱势的年轻人正被推向自杀内容以达到自我伤害的内容.
223We know that the manosphere is blossoming我们知道曼诺斯圈正在开花
224people are being pushed towards人们被推向
225Radicalization and misogyny and that is being normalized now these激进化和厌恶女性的现象正在正常化。
226Accidents these outcomes are not accidents as we know they are the predictable result of algorithms at the societal level意外 这些结果不是意外 因为我们知道它们是社会层面算法的可预见结果
227We are all becoming increasingly addicted to to social media and the result is the attention economy where the focus我们越来越沉迷于社交媒体 结果是关注经济
228the commodity is human focus the average person now spends商品是人类的焦点 现在平均人花
229Hours online and there was a no accountability for this数小时的网络上,没有责任
230So the evidence is that social media所以证据是社交媒体
231Systematically distorts our perception we now know thanks to independent research that social media platforms including X and tik-tok由于独立研究,包括X和tik-tok在内的社交媒体平台,系统扭曲了我们现在所知道的看法。
232Have systematically distorted political information flows so that even people who don't系统扭曲了政治信息流通,以至于即使没有
233profess certain parts and views are shown far-right content including before elections which are critical times for our democracy表明某些部分和观点的内容非常正确,包括在选举之前,这是我国民主的关键时期。
234So leaving social media ownership in the hands of a few is因此,把社交媒体所有权交给少数人掌握
235Ultimately undermining the very integrity of our democracies so the question for us here is when最终会破坏我们民主的完整 所以这里我们的问题是
236Systems like this exert this much influence.像这样的系统产生了如此大的影响。
237How can we not ensure that they are under public control?我们怎能不确保他们受到公众控制?
238Opponents will argue that perhaps this will shape free expression and public discourse, but this ultimately ignores how power反对者会认为,这或许会塑造自由表达和公开言论,但这最终忽视了权力。
239operates in our society在我们的社会中运作
240There are millions of people including women and marginalized groups who cannot数百万人,包括妇女和边缘化群体,不能
241Actively participate on social media because of the harms that they experience because of the bias the exclusion in fact积极参与社交媒体,因为他们因为偏见而受到伤害,事实上被排斥
242Many remove themselves entirely from these platforms which violates their right to equal participation in public and private life许多人完全脱离这些侵犯他们平等参与公共和私人生活权利的纲领。
243So you might ask well, what is a democratic structure?你可能会问得好,什么是民主结构?
244How will we ensure that creativity is at the center and innovation and freedom of expression for the millions for the many who are我们如何确保创造力成为中心,以及数百万人的创新和言论自由成为许多人的焦点?
245actually locked out其实被锁在外面
246Well platforms can operate as public infrastructure良好的平台可以作为公共基础设施运作
247Cooperatives or nonprofit foundations their algorithms should be public and auditable合作社或非营利基金会的算法应当是公开的和可审计的
248And also there should be oversight councils and advisory boards that ensure that they operate for the public interest还应有监督理事会和咨询委员会,确保它们为公共利益运作。
249Data sovereignty requires that we each have control over our own data.数据主权要求我们各自控制自己的数据.
250Why not ensure that regulation何不确保这个条例
251Requires social media networks are decentralized and interoperable要求社交媒体网络分散和互操作
252By law, this is not a question of whether or not we can or should do it根据法律,这不是我们是否能够或应该这样做的问题
253It is a question of whether we can imagine something better where each of us is in control and not just a few这是一个问题,我们是否可以想象一些更好的事情 在那里,我们每个人都在控制,而不只是少数
254We know that in the past harms have resulted我们知道过去已经造成了伤害

323the second point第二点
324Some of you will have heard that there's been a recent fight between anthropic the ai company and the trump administration你们中有些人会听说 最近慈善公司和王权政府之间发生了争吵
325Anthropic is known for the clawed large language modelsAnthropic以爪状大语言模型著称
326Of course that may not be known to oxford students who only use open ai for their assessments, but that's another matter当然,奥福德的学生可能不知道 他们只使用开放的AI来评估, 但这是另一个问题
327But in any case但无论如何
328I think this is a really really important case我觉得这案子很重要
329why为什么
330The the way in which anthropic made its case was twofold one was about military applications and autonomous weapons人类的辩护方式有两个方面:军事用途和自主武器。
331That's not of concern this evening here今晚这不关你的事
332But the other但另一个
333Was that anthropic wanted to prevent the u.s. Government from using its ai to exercise surveillance那个人类想阻止我们 政府不利用其ai进行监视
334over its own domestic american population美国国内人口
335What does that have to do with social media?这和社交媒体有什么关系?
336You might ask你可以问
337Well, the vast bulk of ai data is actually social media data大量AI数据其实是社交媒体数据
338So take the example所以举个例子
339Could be a mild-mannered oxford professor with a woolly kind of middle middle of the road可能是个温和的牛福德教授 中间有羊毛
340Political views政治观点
341Surely that can't harm that particular individual这肯定不会伤害到那个个人
342The point is that ai might actually find out in this case the woolly professor being me重点是Ai可能会发现 羊毛学教授是我
343That my main social media interactions我的主要社交媒体互动
344Are with lots of radical oxford students and professors if they still exist和很多激进的牛福德学生和教授在一起,如果他们还存在的话
345And so they might actually identify me as a political subversive所以他们可能真的认为我是一个政治颠覆者
346And in that case, I think i'd be in pretty much trouble那样的话,我觉得我会惹上大麻烦
347so这样
348If you hang out with anybody of a different political persuasion watch out ai is going to find you out如果你跟不同政治派别的人混在一起 小心Ai会找到你的
349Since anthropic is privately owned由于人类是私有的
350The trump administration I think is going to have a hard time forcing it to allow我认为政府会很难 迫使它允许
351Ai to analyze our social media data and therefore to put us under surveillanceAi分析我们的社交媒体数据,
352So I think again所以我又想起来了
353speaking for private ownership个人所有权
354a third point第三个点
355A current slogan in a again in relation to ai is与ai有关的当前口号是
356Socialize the data centers, right?将数据中心社会化,对吧?
357That would be a great idea那会是个好主意

359I mean in relation to energy again我的意思是,对于能量再次
360That's a separate point which doesn't concern us here really这是另外的一点 这与我们无关
361But again the data on which ai are currently based are to a large extent social media data但Ai目前的数据在很大程度上也是社交媒体数据
362The idea that this should be part of a commonly认为这应当是一个共同的
363Owned public infrastructure拥有的公共基础设施
364Sounds like a nice idea incidentally the slogan socialize the data centers顺便说一句,听起来是个好主意 口号让数据中心社交
365Was coined by Evgeny Morozov if you remember him in the new left review由埃夫根尼·莫罗佐夫(英语:Evgeny Morozov)发明,如果你在新的左派评论中记得他的话
366so这样
367That's where it comes from这就是它的起源
368In any case my point is do we really want the trump administration to control social data centers?无论如何,我的观点是,我们是否真的希望统治政府控制社会数据中心?
369I think the opposite the我觉得相反
370Those on the opposite side would make the would make the motion对方会提出动议

372You know你知道吗

508My concern is with what happens the day after an end to private ownership is proclaimed我关心的是私人所有权被宣布结束的第二天会发生什么
509If not privately owned social media will need to be publicly owned or at least publicly managed如果不是私有社交媒体,则需要公有或至少是公有管理
510But public ownership is a 20th century solution to a 21st century problem但公有制是20世纪解决21世纪问题的办法
511And the conditions necessary for public management of social media do not exist社会媒体公共管理的必要条件不存在
512Let's begin with a history lesson following world war two and extending through the 20th century我们从第二次世界大战开始 并延续到20世纪
513Both britain and france worked to nationalize key industries such efforts became deeply controversial for ideological and political reasons英国和法国都努力使关键行业国有化,由于意识形态和政治原因,这些努力引起很大争议。
514But their history teaches us two relatively clear lessons但是他们的历史教给我们两个相对清楚的教训
515First to successfully nationalize an industry the state needs to be able to define the industry and institute control over its key inputs and outputs首先,要成功地将一个行业国有化,国家需要能够界定该行业,并对其关键投入和产出实行控制。
516Second the state needs to be able to operate the activity successfully as a public endeavor in the case of social media第二,国家需要能够成功地开展这项活动,作为社会媒体的公共努力。
517Neither is remotely achievable也不可能实现
518So on the first point in both britain and france the most successful nationalization efforts involved infrastructure industries that were also natural monopolies因此,在英国和法国的第一点,最成功的国有化努力涉及基础设施产业,这些产业也是自然垄断。
519For example coal mining electricity production and nuclear energy例如煤矿发电和核能
520British efforts to nationalize transport were much messier英国将运输国有化的努力更是混乱
521Railways compete with highways and waterways each uses different infrastructures and all must provide for both freight and passenger services铁路与高速公路和水道竞争,各使用不同的基础设施,所有铁路都必须提供货运和客运服务
522The british transport commission tried its hardest to understand and predict usage patterns英国运输委员会试图最难理解和预测使用模式
523But there were just too many moving parts and the relevant technologies were changing too rapidly但移动部件太多 相关技术变化太快
524In less than two decades the effort had failed the assets had been transferred to other owners and the commission had been abolished在不到20年的时间里,这项努力失败了,资产被转移到其他所有者手中,委员会被废除。
525Let's now consider social media even defining what ought to qualify as social media is impossible现在,让我们考虑社交媒体 甚至定义什么应该是社交媒体是不可能的
526YouTube is a social media company sureYouTube是一家社交媒体公司
527But what about the rest of google google search uses social information to rank search results但Google搜索的其余部分使用社会信息对搜索结果进行排序

530Are the gaming platforms Microsoft and roblox on which researchers have documented extremist efforts to recruit and radicalize very young children是微软和Roblox的游戏平台 研究人员记录了极端 招募和激进化非常年幼的儿童
531also social media companies还有社交媒体公司
532In an era in which many businesses depend on extracting and monetizing social data在一个许多企业依赖社会数据提取和货币化的时代
533Nearly all digital technology companies are social media companies to one extent or another几乎所有数字技术公司都是某种程度的社交媒体公司.
534But proclaiming public ownership and public management of the entire social web is plainly infeasible但是,宣布整个社会网络的公共所有权和公共管理显然是不可行的
535And regardless of what definition is chosen there will be private workarounds that those charged with enforcing the law will struggle to categorize无论选择什么定义, 都会有私人工作, 负责执法的人会挣扎 分类
536Assuming that some plausible definition can be arrived at the proposition also presumes that social media can be operated and controlled within假设在提案中可以得出某种合理的定义,也假定社会媒体可以在
537International boundaries this would be necessary to avoid incursions by privately owned social media companies located elsewhere为了避免私营社交媒体公司在其他地方的侵入,有必要这样做。
538But social media companies and other digital services companies now operate within distributed digital supply chains that are transnational and global但社交媒体公司和其他数字服务公司现在在跨国和全球性的分布式数字供应链中运作。
539Countries with a small number of internet backbone nodes such as china saudi arabia or turkey拥有少量互联网骨干节点的国家,如中国的saudi arabia或火鸡
540Can institute choke points and use them to control content flows britain is not such a country nor is the u.s能否设置阻塞点并用它们来控制内容流量,不是这样一个国家,也不是美国。
541So incursions by and competition from privately owned social media companies will be impossible to prevent因此,私人社交媒体公司的入侵和竞争将无法防止
542So to sum up on the first point the state cannot define what counts as social media nor can it institute control over key inputs and outputs因此,总结一下第一点,国家不能定义什么是社交媒体,也不能控制关键投入和产出。
543Moving on to the second point capacity to operate the target industry successfully as a public endeavor is essential继续提高第二点能力,使目标行业成功运作,以此作为一项公共努力,这一点至关重要。
544Many nationalization efforts have failed this test some failures were politically over determined许多国有化努力都未能通过这一测试,有些失败在政治上已经过定
545So for example the last two decades of nationalized coal mining in britain were violent and disruptive because governments例如,在过去20年中, 国有化的煤矿开采 在布里坦是暴力和破坏性的,因为政府
546Ideologically committed to privatization pursued policies of brinksmanship in their dealings with organized labor意识形态上致力于私有化,在与有组织劳工打交道时奉行边缘政策。
547In other cases though governments simply failed to navigate the demands of the relevant industry在其他情况下,虽然政府根本未能满足相关行业的需求
548Here the french efforts to develop computing architectures with distinctly french characteristics come to mind for three decades30年来,法国为开发具有明显法国特色的计算架构所作的努力被人们所铭记
549France attempted to develop mainframe computing prototypes repeating the same errors over and over again法国试图开发主机计算原型,反复重复同样的错误
550Those in charge rejected scientific and technical dialogue with leading researchers in other countries负责人拒绝与其他国家的主要研究人员进行科学和技术对话
551Because that would interfere with the goal of developing a computer that had distinctly french characteristics因为这会妨碍开发具有法国特色的计算机的目标
552They rejected plans to source key components from abroad for the same reason出于同样的原因,他们拒绝了从国外获取关键部件的计划。
553And they subjected their chosen private sector partners to burdens and financial restrictions rather than laying the groundwork to help them succeed他们让自己选择的私营部门伙伴承受负担和财政限制,而不是为帮助他们成功奠定基础。
554France lost the computing race and billions in public investment were wasted法国输掉了计算竞赛 浪费了数十亿的公共投资
555Let's consider now social media现在考虑一下社交媒体
556Effective public management would need to perform two functions that social media's current companies currently undertake on a self-regulatory有效的公共管理需要履行两个职能,这些职能是社会媒体目前的公司目前根据自我管制承担的。
557Basis as well as others that they are refusing to perform at all他们拒绝履行的根据和其他条件
558First the two functions that they do self-regulatory首先,他们履行两项自律职能。
559Attempts at begin with the task of identifying harmful content such content is diverse ranging from live stream shooter videos and child sexual试图首先查明有害内容,
560Abuse material to hate and harassment to coordinated and sometimes automated disinformation campaigns滥用材料进行仇恨和骚扰,开展协调的有时是自动化的造谣运动
561Some kinds of harmful content are easy to identify but others are not某些有害内容易于识别,但另一些则不易识别。
562Many of the most insidious campaigns of health hate and harassment and disinformation operate through coded language and imagery许多最阴险的健康仇恨、骚扰和造谣的运动都是通过密码语言和图像进行的。
563In a democratic society committed to freedom of expression在致力于言论自由的民主社会中
564Government government should not be responsible for collecting data on everyone's social media use and deciding what to allow and what to block政府不应负责收集每个人使用社交媒体的数据,并决定允许什么和阻止什么
565Democratic governments moreover have obligations to tolerate some amount of so-called lawful此外,民主政府有义务容忍一些所谓的合法行为。
566But awful speech for both of these reasons a public social media commission但因为这两个原因 发表可怕的言论 一个公共社交媒体委员会
567Even if a public trust or a multi-stakeholder body or some such won't solve the problem of harmful online speech即使公众信任或多利益攸关方机构或一些此类机构无法解决有害的网上言论问题
568Such a commission would have a duty to be even handed and even so it would be continually embroiled in defending itself against accusations of bias这样的委员会甚至有义务被移交,即使如此,它仍会不断被纠缠在对偏见的指控面前为自己辩护。
569Next comes the task of removing or otherwise responding to harmful content接着是清除或以其他方式应对有害内容的任务
570There are options here ranging from removal to flagging to shadow banning to account deactivation and so on这里有各种选择,从清除到标记到阴影禁止到账户停用等等
571Some decisions must be made instantaneously whilst others must merely be made very quickly有些决定必须立即作出,而另一些决定则必须迅速作出
572There must be processes for correcting mistakes and revising best practices.必须制定纠正错误和修订最佳做法的程序。
573The scale involved is massive规模很大
574Automation can help but it is into panacea among other well-documented problems automated content moderation自动化可以有所帮助,但它是万灵药 以及其他有文件记载的问题 自动化内容节制
575Reproduces pre-existing cultural and structural biases复制原有的文化和结构偏见
576It has difficulty detecting certain kinds of coded content它很难检测某些类型的编码内容
577And it performs very poorly in languages and cultures that its designers do not understand它在语言和文化方面的表现很差 设计者不懂
578To minimize these problems which can never be completely eliminated automated systems尽量减少无法完全消除的这些问题
579Therefore must be calibrated and recalibrated iteratively因此必须反复校准和重新校准
580I think we should be able to agree that getting all of this right would be a very tall order indeed我认为我们应该能够同意 获得所有的权利 将是一个非常高的订单
581For a government that has spent the last part of last decade outsourcing its health and national security data operations to american big tech companies对于一个在过去十年中最后一部分时间 将其健康和国家安全数据业务 外包给美国大科技公司的政府来说
582包括google oracle和帕兰蒂尔.
583Yes.
584I'm talking about the british government and also mine我说的是英国政府和我的
585Doing what is necessary would require a massive expansion of the public fisc the public workforce and the public digital capability做必要的事需要大规模扩大公共劳动力和公共数字能力。
586More likely critical operations would simply be outsourced to private vendors reproducing exactly the same problems that we see now更可能的关键业务只是外包给私人供应商,重复我们现在看到的完全相同的问题
587Last come the functions that social media companies are refusing to perform社交媒体公司拒绝履行的职能终于来了
588Not coincidentally, these are the functions that strike at the heart of the highly profitable behavioral advertising business model无意间,这些功能 打击的核心 高度盈利的行为 广告业务模式
589So for example, the government might seek to end feed optimization for engagement例如,政府可能寻求停止优化饲料,以促进参与
590It might ban addictive design practices.它可能禁止成瘾的设计做法。
591It might mandate chronological feed ordering它可能授权时间顺序
592It might prohibit digital ad tech models based on behavioral micro targeting它可能禁止基于行为微观目标的数码广告技术模型
593It might seek an end to the dual class stock ownership structure that tech billionaires use to operate their companies as extensions of their own personas它可能寻求结束双重类别股票所有权结构,技术亿万富翁利用这种结构来经营自己的公司,作为自己个人的延伸。
594It might institute a wealth tax or revise the competition laws to reach它可能会征收财富税或修订竞争法,以达到
595Practices under which the giant tech and ai companies buy stakes across the startup tech universe巨型科技公司和AI公司在创业科技领域购买股份的做法
596It might mandate precautionary threat modeling and mitigation它可能授权建立和减轻预防性威胁模型
597Because such regulations would address the ways that social media systems are designed and configured因为这些条例将涉及社会媒体系统的设计和配置方式
598They would be far more effective than post-hoc content removal at addressing social media's harms在处理社交媒体弊端方面,
599But if you take one message away today take this one但是如果你今天拿走了一条消息 就拿走这个
600None of these activities requires public ownership or public management what they require is regulatory innovation这些活动不需要公共所有权或公共管理,它们需要的就是监管创新。
601Such innovation is far likelier to succeed if government is not distracted by having to take on massive content如果政府不因必须接受大量内容而分心,这种创新就更可能成功。
602Responsibility and then defend its own inevitably poor performance责任,然后为自己辩护
603The government wouldn't need to write on a blank slate政府用不着写在空白板上
604There are models in pharma regulation and banking regulation that might supply useful starting points药物监管和银行监管中有一些模式可能提供有用的起点
605Financial regulators as one example have broad authority to require adjustments to capital liquidity and leverage ratio ratios例如,金融监管机构有广泛的权力要求调整资本流动性和杠杆比率
606And systemically important banks are subjected to continual monitoring and supervision people on the floor 24 7对系统重要的银行 24 7楼的人进行持续监测和监督
607We could do that for the giant tech platforms if we had the will and the model so to conclude.如果我们有意志和模型可以完成的话, 我们可以为巨大的技术平台这样做。
608Let me be clear让我说清楚
609Effective public governance of social media companies is essential社会媒体公司的有效公共治理至关重要
610Public management is simply the wrong instrument.公共管理只是错误的工具。
