Australia made a dramatic revelation on Wednesday during the United Nations General Assembly.
周三，澳大利亚在联合国大会期间做出了戏剧性的披露。
Rogue AI agents had hacked one of its government bodies - the first known incident of its kind in the world. Private data, but not sensitive information, was taken from Medicare, Australia's universal healthcare scheme.
流氓人工智能特工入侵了一个政府机构，这是世界上第一起已知的此类事件。 私人数据（但不是敏感信息）取自澳大利亚全民医疗保健计划医疗保险。
The breach happened in June, but OpenAI says it only became aware of it in August - and then took until 10 September to alert Australia's government, by sending an email to an address used by researchers and academics to alert authorities to concerns of vulnerabilities.
该漏洞发生在 6 月，但 OpenAI 表示直到 8 月才意识到这一情况，然后直到 9 月 10 日才向澳大利亚政府发出警报，向研究人员和学者使用的地址发送电子邮件，提醒当局注意漏洞问题。
While worrying, the timing of the incident is somewhat of a gift for Australia.
虽然令人担忧，但这一事件发生的时机对澳大利亚来说有点像是一份礼物。
A middle power that doesn't usually get as much of a platform as its influential allies, the country wants to be seen as punching above its weight on one of the most defining issues of our time - big tech regulation.
作为一个中等强国，通常不像其有影响力的盟友那样拥有那么多的平台，该国希望被视为在我们这个时代最具决定性的问题之一——大型科技监管问题上发挥了超常的作用。
In the past year alone, it has implemented the world's strictest social media ban, announced what it says are the world's strongest algorithm controls, floated the possibility of "world-leading" limits on smart glasses, and is now the first government to confront AI firms over a rogue attack on its data.
仅在过去一年，它就实施了世界上最严格的社交媒体禁令，宣布了所谓的世界上最强大的算法控制，提出了对智能眼镜进行“世界领先”限制的可能性，并且现在是第一个因对其数据的流氓攻击而与人工智能公司对抗的政府。
The Australian prime minister says he'd had a "frank" discussion with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about the breach It's entirely possible other governments have been the victim of rogue AI agents.
澳大利亚总理表示，他已与 OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 就此次泄露事件进行了“坦诚”的讨论 其他政府完全有可能成为流氓人工智能代理的受害者。
Former Australian government cybersecurity adviser Alastair MacGibbon told the BBC he'd heard whispers that several others have been notified of similar recent breaches by OpenAI agents.
前澳大利亚政府网络安全顾问阿拉斯泰尔·麦克吉本 (Alastair MacGibbon) 告诉 BBC，他听到有传言称其他几人已收到 OpenAI 代理最近发生的类似违规事件的通知。
"Some have chosen to not be public – that's every government's choice on how it wants to handle these things," the CyberCX chief strategy officer said.
CyberCX 首席战略官表示：“有些人选择不公开——这是每个政府对如何处理这些事情的选择。”
"The [Australian] government chose a time to release this to gain maximum publicity which is their wont to do." Revealing a data breach can of course be a risky strategy for governments - it leaves them vulnerable to criticism that their security systems aren't up to scratch.
“[澳大利亚]政府选择发布此消息的时间是为了获得最大程度的宣传，这是他们的习惯。” 对于政府来说，揭露数据泄露当然是一种危险的策略——这让他们很容易受到安全系统不合格的批评。
But the fact that no sensitive information was leaked put Australia in a stronger position to use the incident. "Nobody has died," says the University of Queensland's associate professor Michael Noetel, who studies AI risks.
但由于没有泄露任何敏感信息，澳大利亚在利用这一事件方面处于更有利的地位。 “没有人死亡，”昆士兰大学研究人工智能风险的副教授迈克尔·诺特尔说。
"This is another canary in the coal mine. This sort of loss-of-control incident, even though it's minor now, is what CEOs are worried about getting worse over time." Though Australia has made a name for itself by taking a stand against social media companies, taking up the AI mantle now is another way for Australia to rein in big tech, says Tama Leaver, professor of internet studies at Curtin University in Perth.
“这是煤矿里的另一只金丝雀。 这种失控事件虽然现在还很小，但首席执行官们担心随着时间的推移会变得更糟。” 珀斯科廷大学互联网研究教授 Tama Leaver 表示，尽管澳大利亚因反对社交媒体公司而闻名，但现在承担人工智能的职责是澳大利亚控制大型科技公司的另一种方式。
"It's impossible to say for sure, but it seems incredibly likely that this was very carefully planned."
“这不可能肯定地说，但看起来难以置信，这很可能是经过精心策划的。”
All smiles in their selfie but Trump doesn't agree with the Australian prime minister's approach to AI The fact that leaders were all together in New York this week has probably helped.
自拍照中所有人都在微笑，但特朗普不同意澳大利亚总理对人工智能的态度 本周领导人齐聚纽约这一事实可能有所帮助。
Albanese says he had a "frank" discussion with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to express Australia's "extreme concern" about what happened.
Albanese 表示，他与 OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 进行了“坦诚”的讨论，表达了澳大利亚对所发生事件的“极度担忧”。
Altman acknowledged "issues with protocols" at OpenAI, he said.
Altman 承认 OpenAI 存在“协议问题”，他说。
The Australian leader also posed with Donald Trump for a selfie - and the two may have had face-to-face talks. But Australia risks the ire of the US president, who wants to encourage AI, "not rein it in", and even rename it "super intelligence".
这位澳大利亚领导人还与唐纳德·特朗普合影留念，两人可能进行过面对面会谈。 但澳大利亚面临着激怒美国总统的风险，美国总统希望鼓励人工智能，“而不是限制它”，甚至将其重新命名为“超级智能”。
Earlier this week, the Albanese had to deflect criticism from the Trump administration over his government's proposal to give users the ability to opt out of social media algorithms. The US said it amounted to "censorship of protected speech".
本周早些时候，阿尔巴尼亚人不得不转移特朗普政府对其政府提议赋予用户选择退出社交媒体算法的批评。 美国称这相当于“对受保护言论的审查”。
US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship' Australia to double maximum penalty for platforms in breach of social media ban Back home, Australia's very own eSafety commission is currently arming itself with lawyers, preparing to take on social media platforms objecting to its social media law for under 16s. Australia isn't popular with big tech.
美国批评澳大利亚提出的算法选择退出法是“审查制度” 澳大利亚将对违反社交媒体禁令的平台处以双倍最高罚款 在国内，澳大利亚自己的电子安全委员会目前正在配备律师，准备应对那些反对其针对 16 岁以下儿童的社交媒体法的社交媒体平台。 澳大利亚不受大型科技公司的欢迎。
But its bold policies on social media and internet safety have been largely supported among Australians themselves, especially parents.
但其在社交媒体和互联网安全方面的大胆政策在很大程度上得到了澳大利亚人本身的支持，尤其是父母。
The government is taking advantage of the hack to position itself as a leader on one of the biggest talking points of our time.
政府正在利用这次黑客攻击将自己定位为当今时代最热门话题之一的领导者。
And it's wasting no time in using the incident to advance the country's broader crusade.
它不浪费时间利用这一事件来推进该国更广泛的改革。
Within hours of the announcement, Communications Minister Anika Wells told reporters: "This is an example of an unregulated industry where big tech clearly feels like they can do whatever they like, and that's not going to wash here in Australia." AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC Why are there concerns AI could threaten humanity, and how real are they?
消息公布后数小时内，通讯部长阿尼卡·威尔斯 (Anika Wells) 告诉记者：“这是一个不受监管行业的例子，大型科技公司显然觉得他们可以为所欲为，而这在澳大利亚是不会被接受的。” 前人类研究人员告诉 BBC，人工智能工作人员“真正害怕”人类的未来 为什么人们担心人工智能可能威胁人类？这种担心有多真实？
