China’s Definition of an ‘Evil Cult’ Is Expanding Beyond Religious Groups

“Create Abundance” is not, in any conventional sense, a religion. For that reason, its persecution signals a dangerous expansion of China’s ideological control.

我在《The National Interest》(国家利益)科技园地上文章的中译稿,刊在议报译丛。这不是一篇有关地缘政治的文章,而是关于AI代理和AI研发监管的专业性文章。为了增加AI代理的可预测性,我提出了“训练理性”(training rationality)的概念,亦即,设定AI代理在其特定服务领域的目标函数,对它进行优化服务价值的训练,提高其在其特定服务领域的理性,使使用者更能预测AI代理的行为,预防它可能带来的伤害。 【译丛】当工具化身为“主体”:自主AI的治理挑战 yibaochina.com?p=257687

北京正将对藏人及其他少数民族的同化政策法律化 yibaochina.com?p=257639
在法律层次,中共的少数民族政策正式进入第二代。学者用“第二代少数民族政策”将习近平执政后的政策与他之前的政策--“第一代政策”--区别开来,第一代政策的宪法基础是“民族自治”,虽然中共在政策实践上从来没有真正地让少数民族自治过,但是他们不敢公然反对民族自治的原则。习近平的少数民族政策方向是同化并从宪法层次抛弃民族自治原则,同化一直在强行推进,而在法律层次去除“民族自治”从今年“两会”开始公然登场。这是中共民族政策的重大转折点。

同时也可以访问 GitHub 仓库,下载并自行运行这一人权基准测试工具。
当前版本仍较为初步,但已为衡量 AI 模型在人权价值取向上的表现奠定了重要基础。我们将持续完善模型,并进一步拓展研究,最终形成一份系统、完整的研究报告。
再次感谢人权基金会(HRF)和 Bitcoin Park 的大力支持。也向我的合作伙伴 Emin Temiz 和 Win Ko Ko Aung 致以由衷的感谢——我找不到比他们更出色的团队成员了
Many thanks to HRF and Bitcoin Park for their generous support. Deep gratitude to my teammates Emin Temiz and Win Ko Ko Aung—truly exceptional collaborators.
This is an early, primitive version, but it lays an important foundation for measuring how AI models align with human rights. We will continue refining the model and expanding the research toward a comprehensive report.
You can view the results here: primal.net/e/nevent1qqs...
You can also access the GitHub repository to download and run the human rights benchmark yourself.
在本周末于奥斯汀举行的、由人权基金会(Human Rights Foundation)和 Bitcoin Park 联合主办的 AI Hackathon for Freedom 上,我的团队开发了一套面向大型语言模型(LLMs)的人权基准测试体系。我们对来美国、中国和法国的多种模型在人权价值取向上的一致性进行了评估。有令人惊讶的发现。相关成果将很快在 GitHub 上发布,届时所有脚本都将以开源形式提供,任何人都可以下载并自行运行。敬请期待完整版本的发布。
At the AI Hack for Freedom hosted by HRF & Bitcoin Park,my team developed a human rights benchmark for LLMs.We evaluated human rights alignment across various models. Our findings will soon be available on GitHub. The scripts will be open-source & accessible for anyone to download & run. Stay tuned.
