1 月 10 日與舊金山的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一起度過(guò)一個(gè)獨(dú)特的社交之夜、見(jiàn)解和對(duì)話。

在此請(qǐng)求邀請(qǐng)。

OpenAI 聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官 Sam Altman 權(quán)衡了以色列和巴勒斯坦持續(xù)武裝沖突的一些影響，特別表示他支持那些感到不舒服和不安全的穆斯林、阿拉伯和巴勒斯坦科技工作者分享他們的經(jīng)歷。

出生于美國(guó)的猶太人奧特曼在埃隆·馬斯克的社交平臺(tái) X 的賬戶上寫(xiě)道：

與我交談過(guò)的科技界穆斯林和阿拉伯（尤其是巴勒斯坦）同事在談?wù)撍麄冏罱慕?jīng)歷時(shí)感到不舒服，通常是因?yàn)閾?dān)心遭到報(bào)復(fù)和職業(yè)前景受損。

我們的行業(yè)應(yīng)該團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)支持這些同事；……

— Sam Altman (@sama) 2024 年 1 月 5 日

他還指出，像他這樣的猶太人是反猶太主義的目標(biāo)，他將其稱(chēng)為“世界上嚴(yán)重且日益嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題”，但表示他“看到我們行業(yè)中有很多人支持我，對(duì)此我深表贊賞” ”。

我是猶太人。

我相信反猶太主義是世界上一個(gè)嚴(yán)重且日益嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題，我看到我們行業(yè)中有很多人支持我，對(duì)此我深表贊賞。

我認(rèn)為穆斯林的這種情況要少得多。

— Sam Altman (@sama) 2024 年 1 月 5 日

大約一個(gè)月前，奧特曼在 X 上發(fā)帖稱(chēng)，他對(duì)“尤其是美國(guó)左派”反猶太主義程度的判斷是錯(cuò)誤的，而且情況比他之前認(rèn)為的還要嚴(yán)重。

很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間以來(lái)，我一直在說(shuō)反猶太主義，特別是美國(guó)左派的反猶太主義，并不像人們聲稱(chēng)的那么嚴(yán)重。

我只想聲明我完全錯(cuò)了。

我還是不明白，真的。

或者知道該怎么做。

但這太操蛋了。

— 薩姆·奧爾特曼 (@sama) 2023 年 12 月 8 日

在回答粉絲最近提出的問(wèn)題時(shí)，Altman 進(jìn)一步表示，他認(rèn)為 OpenAI 的人工智能聊天機(jī)器人 ChatGPT 在幽默方面應(yīng)該平等對(duì)待猶太人和穆斯林。

當(dāng)然，兩者都不允許，或者都不允許

— Sam Altman (@sama) 2024 年 1 月 5 日

ChatGPT 此前曾受到英國(guó)裔伊拉克作家 Mona Chalabi 等知名人士的批評(píng)，因?yàn)樗鼘?duì)有關(guān)以色列和巴勒斯坦的提示做出了不同的反應(yīng)，而且似乎偏向以色列。

在緊張且后果嚴(yán)重的政治氣氛中發(fā)表的值得注意的聲明

隨著以色列繼續(xù)對(duì)恐怖組織哈馬斯采取軍事行動(dòng)，奧特曼的聲明是迄今為止技術(shù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人支持巴勒斯坦人、穆斯林和阿拉伯人的最引人注目的聲明之一，也是迄今為止為數(shù)不多的高調(diào)聲明之一。

Hamas, based in Palestine’s Gaza Strip, was responsible for a series of brutal murders, rapes, and kidnappings of Israelis on October 7, 2023, and continues to level attacks on Israeli forces.

Since then, Israel’s military strikes — largely aerial attacks — to root out Hamas have cost the lives of more than 21,000 Palestinians, including an estimated 5,000+ children, and resulted in the displacement of an estimated 1.8 million people.

The initial Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas took a toll on Israel with more than 1,100 killed and at least 240 people taken hostage, though scores have now been released in prisoner exchanges between the two sides.

VentureBeat previously reported how the initial Oct. 7 attacks and military call-up of Israel’s armed forces and reserves — where the country practices mandatory service for citizens — was impacting the thriving AI industry there and globally.

We also covered the ongoing larger political fallout, including the controversy that erupted around Web Summit co-founder and CEO Paddy Cosgrave, an Irish citizen who posted on X implying Israel’s military was committing “war crimes” in its fight against Hamas. Cosgrave faced immediate pushback from pro-Israel tech voices and apologized, but after numerous leading sponsors including Google and Intel pulled out of the 2023 Web Summit, Cosgrave resigned from his post as CEO.

Not the first OpenAI employee to speak out

Altman’s commentary also follows a controversy surrounding another member of the OpenAI team, Tal Broda, Head of Research Platform, who posted on X several messages in early October 2023 supporting Israel’s military campaign and its resulting destruction of buildings in Gaza, including one stating “More! No mercy! IDF don’t stop!” and another stating “There is no Palestine. There never was, and never will be.” Palestinians and others supportive of their fate rushed to condemn Broda’s remarks.

Clearly, as with nearly any organization of medium-to-large size, OpenAI harbors a multitude of perspectives and opinions on the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine. But Altman’s move to publicly support Palestinians is among the more significant political statements from a tech leader since the October 7 attacks and may put him at odds with others in his own firm and, judging by recent history, the larger tech industry.
