汽车作为特殊商品，其每一项技术创新都必须建立在确保安全的基础上。不论是美感还是科技感，都不 能凌驾于安全之上。缺乏安全前提的创新，是无效甚至有害的。 长期以来，众多新能源汽车厂家似乎把竞争重点放在了车辆的科技感上，在设计上突出舒适，在宣发上 突出智驾等智能性能，车辆的安全性能在一定程度上遭到了漠视。这也是类似隐藏式门把手安全隐患问 题，迟迟得不到解决的原因所在。 显然，相关部门已经关注到这一情况，不仅对隐藏式门把手做出规范，还叫停了车企对智能驾驶功能的 过度宣传，传递出安全优先的明确态度。众多的汽车生产厂家是时候做出改变了。 随着汽车电动化、智能化的快速发展，隐藏式门把手被普遍应用，成了新能源汽车的标配。隐藏式门把 手具有美观、科技感强等特点，但也因无明显统一标志、冷冻结冰失控、夹手等问题备受争议。尤其 是，在遭遇断电、碰撞等事故时，可能出现门把手失效打不开门等情况，加大逃生和救援的难度，被认 为存在极大安全隐患。 齐鲁晚报.齐鲁壹点评论员张泰来 近年来，已发生过多起新能源汽车遭遇事故后，隐藏式门把手无法打开的案例。舆论场上也早有呼声， 建议对隐藏式门把手的使用做出限制，确保使用安全。遗憾的是，因为这样那样的 ...

【文/ 观察者网专栏作者 曾毅】 人工智能的发展给全社会带来前所未有的机遇与变革。我们在经历、体验与感受的同时，对于人类、智 能与智慧进行着更深刻的反思，这种经历、体验和反思已不可避免地需面对人工智能带来的潜在风险与 挑战。 从学术界76年前人工智能尚未诞生时Edmond Berkeley关于"社会控制：倘若机器真的变得智能"的思 考，到65年前控制论的奠基者Norbert Wiener关于"自动化的技术与道德后果"的远见，再到当代人工智 能技术在工作和生活中已经给我们带来的隐私侵犯、虚假信息、人工智能幻觉、偏见歧视、自主系统风 险等，人工智能安全与治理的问题已与人工智能赋能的社会中每一个人息息相关。社会无法接受缺乏方 向盘和缰绳的人工智能无序野蛮狂奔，安全、伦理与治理将促进人工智能的稳健发展。 正是在这样的背景下，美、英、日、韩、法、加、新等全球十数个国家分别成立了人工智能安全有关的 研究院所与中心，以及诸多人工智能安全相关社会组织。作为中国这样负责任的创新大国中人工智能科 技领先的城市之一，北京不仅要有所作为，在人工智能安全领域发挥头雁作用，更要在国际合作中团结 国内兄弟单位担当中坚力量。 作为正式成立研 ...
