我们的 AI 视角:探索、解析与展望

Our AI Perspective

Google 的视角、焦点和原则性方法,分为 5 部分

Our perspective, focus and principled approach in 5 parts

1. 我们为何要研发 AI1. Why we're developing AI

我们相信,AI [包括其核心方法,比如机器学习 (ML)] 是一项颠覆性奠基技术。AI 为各种工具、产品和服务赋予了创新用途,每天都会被数十亿人以及诸多企业、政府和其他组织使用。从习以为常的琐事到天马行空的创新AI 技术可在几乎所有领域为人类提供帮助、补充、动力和启迪。AI 能“解锁”科学新发现,帮助人类攻坚克难、把握机遇与时俱进。

正如许多人已强调的那样,我们相信 AI 可凭借它的以下能力造福人类和社会:

AI 的奠基性意味着它将赋能现有基础设施、工具、软件、硬件和设备,甚至那些通常被视为与 AI 无关的产品和服务,让它们发生巨变。以 Google 搜索、Google 地图、Google 相册、Google Workspace、Android 和 Pixel 手机为例,AI 已使我们的产品和服务焕然一新。它将显著增强这些产品和服务的实用性,为用户创造更大的价值。它还将孕育出全新类别的辅助工具、产品和服务,且通常会为这些工具和服务赋予独特、突破性的创新功能和性能。这包括更强大更包容的语言翻译器、对话式 AI 和助理、生成式多模态 AI、机器人技术以及无人驾驶汽车。而这一切只是序幕。

We believe that AI, including its core methods such as machine learning (ML), is a foundational and transformational technology. AI enables innovative new uses of tools, products, and services, and it is used by billions of people every day, as well as businesses, governments, and other organizations. AI can assist, complement, empower, and inspire people in almost every field ,from everyday tasks to bold and imaginative endeavors. It can unlock new scientific discoveries and opportunities, and help tackle humanity's greatest challenges -today and in the future.

As many have highlighted, we believe that AI has the potential to benefit people and society through its capacity to:

The foundational nature of AI means that AI will also power and transform existing infrastructure, tools, software, hardware, and devices-including products and services not normally thought of as AI. Examples in our case that are already being transformed by AI include Google Search, Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Workspace, Android, and Pixel phones. It will significantly enhance their usefulness and multiply their value to people. It will also lead to new categories of assistive tools, products, and services, often with breakthrough capabilities and performance made possible only through AI. This includes more powerful and inclusive language translators, conversational AI and assistants, generative and multi-modal AI, robotics and driverless cars. And this is just the beginning.

As Google and Alphabet, our goal is to bring to users useful innovations made possible by AI that benefit people and society. Advancing the state of the art helps us expand and progress AI capability to deliver innovations that can assist and improve the lives of many, while generating sustaining value that enables us to continue investing in transformative innovations.

We are pursuing and delivering on this aspiration in several ways:

Advance the state of the art for more capable AI that can benefit people and society.

Bring useful and transformational AI-powered infrastructure, products, and services to more people, businesses, organizations (large and small), and economies everywhere.

  • Build state of the art AI infrastructure that is secure and easy to use, including compute (e.g. Tensor Processing Units, Google Tensor and Colab) and widely-used software frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, Jax, Android ML and Private Compute). Make this AI infrastructure available (with many open source tools) to millions of developers, students, and researchers in various organizations throughout the world.
  • Apply our AI advances to our core products and servicesto make step-change improvements, innovations and new experiences that enhance and multiply the usefulness and value of all our core products and services for billions of people across Google Search, Google Photos, Google Maps, Google WorkspaceGoogle Workspace, hardware devices (e.g. Pixel and Nest), and for those with disabilities via accessibility applications ( Android Voice Access, Live Transcribe)
  • Develop new AI-powered products, services and experiences for:
    • Consumers with assistive tools like Google Translate, Google Lens, Google Assistant, Project Starline, speech-to-text, Pixel Call Assist and Recorder, real-time text suggestions and summarization, and generative human-assistive capabilities across many creative and productivity endeavors. To enhance all products that use speech, we've developed a Universal Speech Model capable of 400 languages and we are committed to building a model to support the 1000 most-spoken languages, improving access for billions of people
    • Businesses and organizations of all sizes, across industries and regions, with examples like contact center assistive agents, tools such as AutoML, Vertex AIVertex AI, Cloud TPUs, Glass Enterprise, and assistive products for coding, design, and more still to come
    • Sectors that can most benefit from AI, from manufacturing to life sciences (e.g. diabetic retinopathy, imaging diagnostics, DeepVariant), directly and indirectly though our partners and collaborators
  • Grow and enable a large AI ecosystem of developers and partners to build and bring more AI applications to more users, sectors, and regions of the world, for example through our provision of tools, APIs, and in some cases through co-development and co-deployments of useful innovations
  • Use AI to create new category-defining businesses and companiesthat are only possible through the power of AI in a variety of fields from driverless cars ( Waymo) and drug discovery (e.g. Isomorphic Labs) to robotics ( e.g. Intrinsic)

Work with and enable many others beyond Google to apply AI to help tackle society's greatest challenges and opportunities today and in the future.

Apply our AI innovations to continually improve Google itself as a leading organization, and to share what we learn with other organizations, including customers, governments, and non-governmental organizations. Key areas of focus include:

  • Leveraging AI to achieve industry-leading safety and cybersecurity across all our products and services
  • Applying AI to improve our own productivity and operations across all functions
  • Using AI to help realize our company's bold ambitions in climate and sustainability(e.g. energy efficiency in our data centers)

We are compelled by the progress we are making across all the above, as well as our impact to date, in some cases benefitting billions of people. However, we believe still more opportunities for useful and beneficial impact lie ahead.

3. 我们对复杂问题和风险的理解3. Our understanding of the complexities and risks

与其他任何颠覆性技术一样,AI 也自带复杂问题和风险,而且这些因素会随着时间的推移而改变。AI 尚处于早期阶段,相关功能和用途不断演变,这就可能会导致误用、滥用,乃至产生出乎意料或无法预见的后果。我们将未雨绸缪,随着 AI 持续发展、部署规模增长和适用范围扩大,主动充分了解不断演变的复杂问题和风险,同时继续听取用户和广大社区的反馈。

我们自身其他组织的不懈努力下,许多复杂问题和风险已被预警。这些风险会在下述情况下显现:

  • AI 未能按预期运行(例如安全性、质量、准确度)
  • AI 依赖的数据被以不当方式不负责任地使用
  • AI 部署方式不安全(例如部署过早或测试不足)
  • 开发者或用户以错误或有害的方式使用 AI
  • AI 造成或加剧负面的社会偏见危害(例如歧视)
  • AI 造成或加剧网络安全风险
  • AI 造成或加剧信息危害(例如缺乏依据、不真实、虚假信息)
  • AI 让人误以为它拥有实际上并不具备的能力(例如将对话式 AI 误解为具有人类的特质)
  • AI 造成或加剧不平等或其他社会经济危害,包括在劳动力市场中的影响

我们已意识到这些问题和风险可能会带来的害处,特别是会对全球不同群体和环境产生的负面影响。因此,我们将不遗余力地协助缓解上述风险,从而增强信任并确保安全包容的用户体验,使 AI 真正造福人类和社会。

As with any transformational technology, AI comes with complexities and risks, and these will change over time. As an early-stage technology, its evolving capabilities and uses create potential for misapplication, misuse, and unintended or unforeseen consequences. We are taking a proactive approach to understand the evolving complexities and risks as AI advances, deployment grows, and use expands, while continuing to learn from users and the wider community.

Many of the complexities and risks have been highlighted through our own work and that of many others. Such risks become manifest when AI:

  • Does not perform as intended (e.g. safety, quality, accuracy)
  • Relies on data that is not used appropriately and responsibly
  • (Is) Deployed unsafely (e.g. too early or with insufficient testing)
  • (Is) Misapplied or used in harmful ways by its developers or users
  • Creates or amplifies negative societal biases and harms (e.g. discrimination)
  • Creates or worsens cybersecurity risks
  • Creates or worsens information hazards (e.g. lack of groundedness, non-factuality, misinformation)
  • Creates the impression of having capabilities it does not actually have (e.g. interpreting conversational AI to have human traits)
  • Creates or worsens inequality or other socio-economic harms including in the labor markets

We recognize the harms that these failures can cause, especially for different communities and contexts across the globe, and it is critical to invest in mitigating the above risks to increase trust, ensure safe and inclusive user experiences, and enable AI to fully benefit people and society.

4. 我们的 Responsible AI 之道4. Our approach to Responsible AI

鉴于 AI 的复杂程度和潜在风险,作为一家公司,我们必须以负责任的方式推动 AI 稳步发展。作为 AI 领域的先驱之一,我们必须双管齐下,不仅要在尖端 AI 技术方面引领潮流,还要在先进 Responsible AI(AI 相关创新和实现)方面树立典范。2018 年,我们成为首批提出 AI 原则的公司之一,将切实有益、用户至上、安全为先、规避危害的理念置于商业利益之上。我们还率先制定了许多最佳实践,例如现今被其他组织广泛使用的模型卡和数据卡。我们并非纸上谈兵,而是将 AI 原则落到了实处。知行合一至关重要,持续研究和评估我们采用的方法亦是如此。

我们采用的 Responsible AI 方法包括:

  • 专注于对用户和社会有益的 AI 创新。优先考虑能帮助和造福人类与社会的 AI 研发、应用和用途,并确保整个研发过程中资源和环境的可持续性。
  • 恪守我们的 AI 原则(以切实有益和规避危害为出发点),大力落实相关流程和治理措施,妥善开展从研究重点到产品化和实际使用等各项 AI 工作。随着经验的日积月累和具体问题的陆续显现,我们将不断诠释并完善这些原则和流程。我们会定期分享 AI 原则最新进展
  • 使用科学的方法开展 AI 研发,坚持严谨研究、同行评审、就绪情况审核,并以负责任的方式向外界开放、推广并使用我们的创新成果。。设定基准,并衡量 Responsible AI 各个方面的效果和进展。打造创新工具(例如为保障安全),紧跟 AI 技术发展步伐。持续进行对抗性测试和其他相关形式的测试。这些流程可确保我们以谨慎的差异化方法使用和部署 LaMDAPaLM 和 Waymo 等新颖系统。
  • 与跨学科专家协作包括社会科学家、伦理学家以及其他拥有社会技术专业知识的团队(例如我们专注于产品、研究和工程的 Responsible AI 团队,以及专注于产品、业务和政策的 Responsible Innovation 团队)。在关乎社会福祉的重要领域,与研究人员、开发者和用户协作(例如计算机科学研究指导计划、研究资助和各种协作项目)。
  • 积极听取开发者、用户、专家、政府机构以及受影响社区(例如 AI Test KitchenGoogle 众包计划)的代表提供的反馈,并做出相应改进;同时,邀请人工评审员评估 AI 模型,确保其符合 AI 原则。
  • 定期审核我们的 AI 研究与应用开发工作,包括相关用例(比如由我们的先进技术审核委员会进行审核)。公开相关学习成果(例如 PAIR 指南)。将我们的经验分享给其他组织(例如政府机构),帮助他们制定应对问题和风险的方法。
  • 及时了解当前存在且不断演变的问题和风险领域(例如安全性偏见恶意、真实性),并处理、研究和创新,以便在相关挑战/风险显现时从容应对。分享经验/教训和创新成果(例如将 Monk 量表开源、将用于检测合成语音的工具开源)。开发实用方法来监控已部署的系统,确保我们能快速缓解生产环境中和用户所用服务中实时显现的风险。
  • 积极倡导并协助制定负责任的治理、问责和监管机制,在鼓励创新的同时最大限度地发挥 AI 的优势,并设法缓解风险(例如,我们在建立 AI 合作伙伴关系方面发挥的作用、我们对全球 AI 合作伙伴关系的支持,以及我们对主要 AI 治理工作的贡献,包括欧盟的《AI 法案》、NIST AI 风险管理框架和 OECD AI 原则)。
  • 帮助用户和社会了解 AI 是什么(以及不是什么)、如何利用 AI 潜力获益 [例如 AI 在日常生活中(比如在教育方面)有何用处]、存在哪些风险,以及如何缓解这些风险。

作为 AI 引导者之一,我们一直在努力推动许多 Responsible AI 领域的变革。与此同时,我们也始终保持虚心学习的态度,积极从用户、其他研究人员、受影响的社区和我们的实践经验中汲取新知,不断完善自我。因此,我们将持续改进所用方法,确保在所有工作中全面考量上述事项,并在问题显现时尽快解决。我们的目标是,开展有意义的工作,努力促进变革但绝不拖慢创新步伐,从而造福人类和社会。

Given its risks and complexities, we believe that we as a company must pursue AI responsibly. As leaders in AI, we must lead not only in state-of-the-art AI technologies, but also in state-of-the-art responsible AI-its innovation and implementation. In 2018, we were one of the first companies to articulate AI 原则AI Principles that put beneficial use, users, safety, and avoidance of harms above business considerations, and we have pioneered many best practices, like the use of model and data cards now widely used by others. More than words on paper, we apply our AI Principles in practice. Doing so-along with continual research and review of our approaches-is critical.

Our responsible AI approach includes the following:

  • Focus on AI that is useful and benefits users and society. Prioritize AI R&D, applications, and uses that assist and benefit people and society. Ensure resource and environmental sustainability throughout R&D.
  • Intentionally apply our AI Principles (which are grounded in beneficial uses and avoidance of harm), processes, and governance to guide our work in AI, from research priorities to productization and uses. Continually interpret and update these principles and processes as we learn more and as specific issues arise. We provide regular updates on the progress on our AI Principles.
  • Apply the scientific method to AI R&D with research rigor, peer review, readiness reviews, and responsible approaches to providing access and to the externalization and use of our innovations. Set benchmarks and measure performance and progress on different factors of responsible AI. Create innovative tools (e.g. for safety) to keep pace with AI technologies. Continuously perform adversarial and related forms of testing. Through these processes, we take a differentiated and careful approach to access and deployment of novel systems such as LaMDA, PaLM and Waymo.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary experts, including social scientists, ethicists, and other teams with socio-technical expertise (e.g. our Responsible AI team focused on research, product, and engineering and our Responsible Innovation team focused on products, business, and policy). Work with researchers, developers, and users in areas of societal importance (e.g. CS Research Mentorship Program, research grants, and collaborations).
  • Listen, learn and improve based on feedback from developers, users, experts, governments, and representatives of affected communities (e.g. AI Test Kitchen, Crowdsource), and involve human raters to evaluate AI models.
  • Conduct regular reviewsof our AI research and application development, including use cases (e.g. our Advanced Technology Review Council). Provide transparency on learnings (e.g. PAIR guidebook). Engage with others (e.g. governments) to provide the benefits of our experiences as they shape approaches to concerns and risks.
  • Stay on top of current and evolving areas of concern and risk(e.g. safety, bias, toxicity, factuality) and address, research, and innovate to respond to challenges/risks as they emerge. Share learnings and innovations (e.g. open-sourcing the Monk scale and tools for detecting synthetic speech). Develop methods to monitor deployed systems, ensuring that we can quickly mitigate dynamically-occurring risks in production and in-use services.
  • Lead on and help shape responsible governance, accountability, and regulation that encourages innovation and maximizes the benefits of AI while mitigating risks (e.g. our role in setting up Partnership on AI, our support for Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence and our contributions to flagship AI governance efforts, including the EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and OECD AI Principles).
  • Help users and society understand what AI is (and is not) and how to benefit from its potential-how it might be helpful in their daily lives (e.g. education), what the risks are, and how to mitigate those risks.

We are leaders in driving change in many areas of Responsible AI, but at the same time we continue to learn from users, other researchers, affected communities, and our experiences. As a result, we are continually refining our approaches to ensure that the above considerations are incorporated in all we do and address issues as they arise. We aim to work in meaningful ways that help shape but don't slow down innovation that can benefit people and society.

5. 为何需要集体推动 Responsible AI5. Why a collective approach to Responsible AI is needed

我们相信,要想确保 AI 沿着正确的方向发展,就离不开集体的努力。诚然,我们无法给出所有问题的答案,但现有经验告诉我们,为了确保 AI 沿着正确的方向发展,AI 领域的所有参与者(包括研究人员、开发者、部署者、学术界、民间团体、政府机构和用户,涵盖个人、企业和其他组织)都必须通力合作,尤其是在以下领域:

We believe that getting AI right requires a collective effort. We don't have all the answers, but our experience so far suggests that everyone involved in AI (researchers, developers, deployers, academics, civil society, governments, and users, including individuals, businesses, and other organizations) must work together to get AI right including in the following areas:

  • 采用负责任的方法开发并部署 AI 系统
