1. 什么是AI智能体?
AI agents are automated systems that can act in the real world without human oversight.
AI智能体是能在现实世界中自动执行任务而无需人工干预的系统。
2. 新一代智能体的崛起
Modern agents, like OpenAI’s Operator, can order groceries, write code, or manage emails.
现代智能体,如OpenAI的Operator,可以下单杂货、编写代码或管理邮箱。
3. 风险与挑战
The autonomy that makes agents powerful also makes them unpredictable.
智能体的自主性虽然带来强大功能,但也带来了不可预测的风险。
Agents can misinterpret vague goals and take harmful shortcuts—so-called “reward hacking.”
智能体可能误解任务目标,并采用有害的捷径,这就是“奖励欺骗”。
4. 网络安全与攻击
Agents can fall victim to prompt injection attacks that hijack their behavior.
智能体可能被“提示注入攻击”操控,从而行为失控。

5. 对就业与民主的影响
AI agents may automate white-collar jobs and reduce the need for human oversight.
AI智能体可能自动化白领工作,减少对人类监督的需求。
Obedient AI systems could strengthen authoritarian control and weaken democratic checks.
服从命令的AI系统可能加强威权统治,削弱民主监督。
6. 结语:我们准备好了吗?
We must develop safety guardrails and clear policies before handing agents the keys.
在将钥匙交给AI智能体之前,我们必须制定安全机制和明确政策。
