📖【全文與翻譯】
An AI-powered system could soon take responsibility for evaluating the potential harms and privacy risks of up to 90% of updates made to Meta apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, according to internal documents reportedly viewed by NPR.
據 NPR 報導，根據其看到的內部文件顯示，一個由人工智慧驅動的系統可能很快就會負責評估 Meta 旗下 Instagram 和 WhatsApp 等應用程式高達 90% 的更新所帶來的潛在危害和隱私風險。
NPR says a 2012 agreement between Facebook (now Meta) and the Federal Trade Commission requires the company to conduct privacy reviews of its products, evaluating the risks of any potential updates.
NPR 報導稱，Facebook（現 Meta）與聯邦貿易委員會 (Federal Trade Commission) 於 2012 年達成的一項協議要求該公司對其產品進行隱私審查，評估任何潛在更新的風險。
Until now, those reviews have been largely conducted by human evaluators.
到目前為止，這些審查主要由人工評估員進行。
Under the new system, Meta reportedly said product teams will be asked to fill out a questionaire about their work, then will usually receive an “instant decision” with AI-identified risks, along with requirements that an update or feature must meet before it launches.
據報導，在新的系統下，Meta 表示產品團隊將被要求填寫一份關於其工作的問卷調查，然後通常會收到一個帶有人工智慧識別風險的“即時決策”，以及更新或功能在發布前必須滿足的要求。
This AI-centric approach would allow Meta to update its products more quickly, but one former executive told NPR it also creates “higher risks,” as “negative externalities of product changes are less likely to be prevented before they start causing problems in the world.”
這種以人工智慧為中心的方法將使 Meta 能夠更快地更新其產品，但一位前高管告訴 NPR，這也造成了“更高的風險”，因為“產品變更的負面外部性不太可能在它們開始在世界上造成問題之前被預防”。
In a statement, a Meta spokesperson said the company has “invested over $8 billion in our privacy program” and is committed to “deliver innovative products for people while meeting regulatory obligations.”
Meta 發言人在一份聲明中表示，該公司“在我們的隱私計畫中投資了超過 80 億美元”，並致力於“在履行監管義務的同時，為人們提供創新產品”。
“As risks evolve and our program matures, we enhance our processes to better identify risks, streamline decision-making, and improve people’s experience,” the spokesperson said.
這位發言人說：“隨著風險的演變和我們的計劃成熟，我們改進流程，以更好地識別風險、簡化決策並改善人們的體驗。”
“We leverage technology to add consistency and predictability to low-risk decisions and rely on human expertise for rigorous assessments and oversight of novel or complex issues.”
“我們利用技術來提高低風險決策的一致性和可預測性，並依靠人類專業知識對新穎或複雜的問題進行嚴格的評估和監督。”
