算法认知战背后的战争规则之变与AI军备竞赛的警示The Change of War Rules behind Algorithm Cognitive Warfare and the Warning of AI Arms Race
钟祥铭,方兴东
摘要(Abstract):
俄乌冲突已然成为全球AI前沿技术的“超级实验室”,极大地突破了法律和伦理的制约与边界。美国及其联合成立的北约组织借助算力、算法、数据和平台的强大智能优势,发动了强大的算法认知战,极大地改变了俄乌冲突双方的态势,新型的战争形态浮出水面。算法认知战基于全球一体化的网络空间,突破地域边界,形成全球性作战和动员能力,凸显了数字时代战争形态和规则的颠覆性变革。算法认知战具备能够超越国界,只需装备、技术、数据和情报等投入,深度策动并参与战争,威力大、效果好、成本低和几乎免除了战争的各种直接风险等特征,必将成为未来人工智能军备竞赛的重中之重。俄乌冲突昭示着AI技术的“科林格里奇困境”已经全面到来,算法认知战则成为首先挑战AI规范和伦理的行为,是对人工智能最危险的滥用之一。
