BY CHARLES STENNETT The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI) has established a Credit Reporting System (CRS) through the Credit and Data Bureau Solomon Islands (CDBSI) in accordance with the Credit Reporting Regulations. A statement from CBSI said the purpose of the Credit Reporting System is to i mprove access to credit and other financial services, support faster and more informed lending decisions, encourage responsible borrowing and repayment behavior and enable customers with good repayment records to build a positive credit history. It will also help reduce lending risks and strengthen confidence in the financial system and promote financial inclusion and economic development in Solomon Islands. CBSI said by sharing accurate credit information, financial institutions can better assess credit applications and provide services that are tailored to customers’ financial circumstances. The statement said that as part of the implementation of the Credit Reporting System, participating financial institutions and authorised credit information providers will upload existing customer credit information to the Credit and Data Bureau Solomon Islands for the purpose of establishing the initial credit reporting database. The information uploaded may include credit-related information already held by these institutions, including loan account details, repayment history, and other information permitted under the Credit Reporting Regulations. The statement said that pursuant to Regulation 11(5) of the Credit Reporting Regulations, consumer consent is not required for the initial submission of existing customer credit information for the sole purpose of establishing the initial Credit Reporting System database. Regulation 11(5) requires that consumers be notified that their information is being uploaded to the Credit Reporting System. This public notice is provided to ensure that customers are informed of this process. CBSI said that while consent is not required for the initial upload of existing information, consumer consent will be required for any subsequent submission of additional credit information after the initial upload, as required under the Credit Reporting Regulations. Accordingly, the Bank will obtain the necessary customer consent before providing any additional credit information to the Credit & Data Bureau Solomon Islands after the establishment of the initial database. “CBSI remains committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of consumer credit information. All credit information must be collected, used, shared, and stored in accordance with the Credit Reporting Regulations and other applicable legal requirements,” the statement said.

作者:查尔斯·斯特内特 所罗门群岛中央银行(CBSI)通过所罗门群岛信用与数据局(CDBSI)建立了信用报告系统(CRS),以符合信用报告法规。 CBSI 的声明表示,信用报告系统的目的是改善对信贷和其他金融服务的获取,支持更快和更明智的贷款决策,鼓励负责任的借贷和还款行为,并使良好还款记录的客户能够建立积极的信用历史。 它还将帮助降低贷款风险,增强对金融系统的信心,促进所罗门群岛的金融包容性和经济发展。 CBSI 表示,通过共享准确的信用信息,金融机构可以更好地评估信贷申请,并提供符合客户财务状况的服务。 声明指出,作为信用报告系统实施的一部分,参与的金融机构和授权的信用信息提供者将向所罗门群岛信用与数据局上传现有客户的信用信息,以建立初始信用报告数据库。 上传的信息可能包括这些机构已持有的与信用相关的信息,包括贷款账户详情、还款历史和信用报告法规允许的其他信息。 声明指出,根据信用报告法规第 11(5) 条,初始提交现有客户信用信息的过程中不需要消费者的同意,唯一目的是建立初始信用报告系统数据库。 第 11(5) 条要求通知消费者他们的信息正在上传到信用报告系统。此公共通知旨在确保客户了解这一过程。 CBSI 表示,虽然初始上传现有信息不需要同意,但在初始上传后,任何后续提交额外信用信息都需要消费者的同意,符合信用报告法规的要求。 因此,银行将在建立初始数据库后,获取必要的客户同意,才能向所罗门群岛信用与数据局提供任何额外的信用信息。 “CBSI 始终致力于保护消费者信用信息的机密性和安全性。所有信用信息的收集、使用、共享和存储必须遵循信用报告法规和其他适用的法律要求,”声明中表示。 照片来源:CBSI 如需反馈,请联系:charsstennett@gmail.com 编辑:irwin3angiki@gmail.com

BY NED GAGAHE The Government has responded to allegations made in a Facebook video by Moffat Konofilia against Prime Minister Matthew Cooper Wale and the Special Secretary to the Prime Minister (SSPM), saying the matter has been reported to police. In a statement today, the government said it had noted the video containing allegations against the Prime Minister and the SSPM and was treating the matter seriously. “The government takes these allegations seriously,” the statement said. It confirmed that a case had already been reported to police concerning Konofilia’s conduct and the allegations he made against the two senior government officials. However, the government said it would refrain from further comment while the matter was being handled by police. “Since the matter is now the subject of a police process, it would be inappropriate to comment further, so as not to prejudice that process while it is ongoing,” the statement said. The government also reminded the public that established legal procedures and competent authorities were available to anyone wishing to raise complaints or pursue allegations of wrongdoing. It said such matters should be addressed through appropriate channels rather than through public accusations on social media. The statement further said that the government reserved its rights, including the possibility of pursuing legal action for defamation where warranted. “The government will allow the appropriate authorities to deal with the matters in accordance with the law and will not be drawn into further public commentary while the process is ongoing,” it said. Konofilia, 49, is awaiting sentencing on Tuesday, October 20, after being convicted of unlawful assembly in connection with the November 2021 Honiara civil unrest.

BY JOHN HOUANIHAU Prime Minister (PM) Matthew Wale has clarified that Solomon Islands’ proposal for a new regional security architecture is a complex, long-term initiative that will undergo a strict review process rather than an immediate agreement to be rushed into. PM Wale said this when he spoke to local media upon his return from the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York last week. He said that the systematic steps of the proposal must goes through the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) framework. PM Wale explained that any formal proposal submitted to the PIF must first go through the Troika, before advancing directly to regional leaders. He said that this initial step is merely the starting point of an extensive process that requires thorough dialogue among all member states. According to Wale, member states must engage in critical consultations to determine if the architecture is truly necessary, what specific elements should be included, what gaps need to be filled, and whether existing regional instruments can already meet those security needs. “Because of this necessary technical work and intense negotiation between member states, the development will inevitably take a significant amount of time,” PM Wale said. He firmly dismissed any ideas that the goal was to simply go to the leaders’ meeting in Palau to discuss and sign it immediately. He said that a regional security treaty is a highly significant initiative that cannot be treated lightly or played around with. He adds that substantive and deeper discussions on the proposal are expected to take place next year when the PIF leaders meet in Wellington, New Zealand, under New Zealand’s upcoming chairmanship. PM Wale said that it is during the New Zealand meeting that leaders will collectively decide whether the framework is worth exploring further or if it is an idea whose time has not yet come. The Prime Minister maintained that Solomon Islands put the proposal on the table with clear eyes regarding the intense challenges the region is facing, despite the lengthy timeline. He concludes that there is absolutely no doubting the true need for it. [PM Wale speaks to media in his press conference last week.]
作者:约翰·霍阿尼哈乌 所罗门群岛总理(PM)马修·瓦尔澄清,所罗门群岛提出的新区域安全架构是一个复杂的长期倡议,将经历严格的审查过程,而不是急于达成的即时协议。 瓦尔总理在上周从纽约联合国大会(UNGA)返回后接受当地媒体采访时表示,提案的系统步骤必须通过太平洋岛国论坛(PIF)框架。 瓦尔总理解释说,任何提交给PIF的正式提案必须首先经过三方机制(Troika),然后才能直接向区域领导人推进。 他说,这个初步步骤仅仅是一个广泛过程的起点,需要所有成员国之间进行深入的对话。 根据瓦尔的说法,成员国必须进行关键的磋商,以确定该架构是否真正必要,应该包括哪些具体要素,哪些空白需要填补,以及现有的区域工具是否已经能够满足这些安全需求。 “由于这一必要的技术工作和成员国之间的激烈谈判,发展不可避免地需要相当长的时间,”瓦尔总理说。 他坚决驳斥了任何认为目标只是去帕劳的领导人会议上立即讨论和签署的想法。 他说,区域安全条约是一个极其重要的倡议,不能轻视或随意对待。 他补充说,关于该提案的实质性和深入讨论预计将在明年新西兰主席任期下,PIF领导人在新西兰惠灵顿召开会议时进行。 瓦尔总理表示,正是在新西兰会议上,领导人将共同决定该框架是否值得进一步探索,或者这是否是一个尚未成熟的想法。 总理坚持认为,尽管时间表较长,所罗门群岛在提出该提案时对该地区面临的严峻挑战有清晰的认识。 他总结道,毫无疑问,这一提案的真正需求是存在的。 [瓦尔总理在上周的新闻发布会上与媒体交谈。]

BY BEN BILUA Gizo POLICE in Western Province have raised concern over an increase in reported rape and indecent assault cases over the past six months. Supervising Officer of the Western Province Investigation Division, Inspector Leonard Rokoto, said the number of reported cases had surged, with many coming from isolated communities. Speaking to Island Sun, Rokoto said limited access to education and awareness programmes in some remote communities remained a concern. He said several factors contributing to the situation, including population growth, changing lifestyles and the increasing influence of modern development on rural communities. “At the moment, lifestyle has changed. Population continues to grow, modern influence continues to invade rural communities and the culture has changed,” Rokoto said. He said development activities, including logging, as well as changing conditions within households, also create environments where women and girls become vulnerable. “Places where development like logging and even homes become a threat to women and girls,” Rokoto said. He said addressing sexual violence required a collective effort involving police, community leaders, chiefs and religious leaders. Rokoto said the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force would continue to carry out its mandated responsibilities, but communities must also take an active role in preventing violence and protecting vulnerable people. “We highly recommend communities to establish Community Policing to strengthen community security as well as promoting safe places for women and girls to live,” he said. Rokoto also called on chiefs and religious leaders to develop and enforce community bylaws aimed at protecting women and girls and maintaining safer communities. “Chiefs and religious leaders must also establish bylaws to keep everyone safe. Our collective effort will help address issues affecting our province,” he said. Rokoto said Gizo Police had developed a response plan to address the increase in rape and sexual abuse cases. He said the Community Policing Division would lead implementation of the plan, with particular attention to rape, sexual abuse and strengthening community-level prevention. Rokoto urged communities not to leave the responsibility for preventing sexual violence solely to police, saying stronger community involvement was necessary to create safer environments for women and girls across Western Province. The police initiative is expected to place greater emphasis on community engagement and improving cooperation between law enforcement and local leaders.
作者:本·比卢亚 吉佐 西部省的警方对过去六个月报告的强奸和猥亵案件的增加表示关切。 西部省调查部门的监督官员,警司伦纳德·罗科托表示,报告案件的数量激增,许多案件来自偏远社区。 罗科托在接受《岛屿太阳》采访时表示,一些偏远社区教育和意识项目的有限接触仍然是一个问题。 他说,导致这种情况的几个因素包括人口增长、生活方式变化以及现代发展对农村社区的影响日益增加。 “目前,生活方式发生了变化。人口持续增长,现代影响不断侵入农村社区,文化也发生了变化,”罗科托说。 他说,包括伐木在内的发展活动,以及家庭内部条件的变化,也创造了女性和女孩变得脆弱的环境。 “像伐木这样的发展地点,甚至家庭都对女性和女孩构成威胁,”罗科托说。 他说,解决性暴力问题需要警方、社区领导、酋长和宗教领袖的共同努力。 罗科托表示,所罗门群岛皇家警察部队将继续履行其法定职责,但社区也必须积极参与预防暴力和保护弱势群体。 “我们强烈建议社区建立社区警务,以加强社区安全,并促进女性和女孩安全生活的场所,”他说。 罗科托还呼吁酋长和宗教领袖制定和执行旨在保护女性和女孩的社区章程,以维护更安全的社区。 “酋长和宗教领袖也必须建立章程,以确保每个人的安全。我们的共同努力将有助于解决影响我们省的问题,”他说。 罗科托表示,吉佐警方已制定应对强奸和性虐待案件增加的响应计划。 他说,社区警务部门将负责实施该计划,特别关注强奸、性虐待和加强社区层面的预防。 罗科托呼吁社区不要将预防性暴力的责任仅仅留给警方,强调更强的社区参与对于在西部省创造更安全的环境至关重要。 警方的倡议预计将更加重视社区参与,并改善执法与地方领导之间的合作。

The training program is facilitated by the China Police Liaison Team (CPLT) of the People’s Republic of China, marking a continued partnership in local security development. Speaking on the importance of the initiative, HCC Law Enforcement Division Director Robert Madeo emphasized that the program is tailored to equip officers with the vital tools they need when executing city ordinances. “The fundamental aim is to develop and assist our HCC law enforcement officers in their daily duties. This training will directly help our officers guarantee public safety while maintaining high professional standards within the city boundaries,” Director Madeo told this paper in an interview. Director Madeo acknowledged that the law enforcement division has faced various operational challenges in the past.

We sincerely thank the China Police Liaison Team of the People’s Republic of China for offering this opportunity and conducting this vital training for our team,” Madeo said. To ensure continuous city coverage while maintaining operational readiness, the HCC has organized the training into three distinct groups over the next three weeks.

BY BEN BILUA Gizo POLICE in Western Province have arrested a woman and her husband over allegations that they sexually abused the woman’s daughter. Officers from the Provincial Investigation Division in Gizo made the arrests this week after the matter was reported to police. According to report, the woman is the biological mother of the alleged victim, while her husband is the victim’s step-father. It alleges that the mother encouraged and forced her daughter to have sexual intercourse with her step-father on multiple occasions. The report alleged that the offences occurred while the victim was living with her mother and step-father. According to the report the matter was eventually reported after the victim left the couple’s home and went to live with her biological father. Police Inspector of the Gizo Provincial Investigation Division, Leonard Rokoto, confirmed to Island Sun that the couple had been arrested and were being held in police custody. He said both suspects had been charged while investigations into the allegations continue. “This is a very sad case and we are not taking this case lightly,” Rokoto said. He said the alleged offences were particularly concerning because of the relationship between the victim and the accused. Rokoto said the case highlighted the need for communities to strengthen efforts to protect women and girls from sexual abuse. He called on community and church leaders to work closely with police in raising awareness about sexual violence and protecting vulnerable people. “Police alone cannot address the issue. We need community support, chiefs and church leaders to raise awareness so that we can protect those vulnerable, especially women and girls,” he said. Police are continuing their investigation into the allegations. [Gizo Police Headquarter. File Photo]

BY RODRICK DESURI AUKI Concerns have been raised over the alleged unfair distribution of 200 Butterfly sewing machines donated to Malaita Province. The 200 sewing machines were funded by Jiangsu Province of China and donated to the Malaita Provincial Government in early September. A source, who requested anonymity and is familiar with the distribution process, alleged that the sewing machines were mainly distributed among members of the Malaita Provincial Assembly’s executive. According to the source, only 25 Assembly members had the opportunity to receive the donated sewing machines, while other members received none. “Only 25 members had the opportunity to receive the donated sewing machines, while the remaining members received nothing,” the source said. The source said Assembly members who did not receive a sewing machine were unhappy with the way the donation was distributed. One minister in the Malaita Provincial Government confirmed concerns about the distribution, saying he was saddened to learn about the situation. “Yes, I have been informed about that. It is a sad thing, but the person who is in charge of the storage is responsible for it,” he said. Meanwhile, one non-executive Assembly member also confirmed that he did not receive a sewing machine. “I didn’t receive any sewing machine. I will confirm with other non-executive members,” he said. About eight Assembly members are understood to have not received the sewing machines. The sewing machines are considered an important resource for developing the skills and capabilities of people in rural communities. They could provide opportunities for entrepreneurship, employment, technical training and skills development among local people. Concerns over the distribution have prompted calls for greater transparency and accountability in the management and allocation of the donated machines.

作者:RODRICK DESURI AUKI 关于向马莱塔省捐赠的200台蝴蝶缝纫机的分配不公,提出了担忧。 这200台缝纫机由中国江苏省资助,并于9月初捐赠给马莱塔省政府。 一位要求匿名且熟悉分配过程的消息人士声称,这些缝纫机主要分配给马莱塔省议会执行委员会的成员。 根据该消息人士的说法,只有25名议会成员有机会获得捐赠的缝纫机,而其他成员则没有。 “只有25名成员有机会获得捐赠的缝纫机,而其余成员则一无所获,”该消息人士表示。 该消息人士表示,没有收到缝纫机的议会成员对捐赠的分配方式感到不满。 马莱塔省政府的一位部长确认了对分配的担忧,表示得知这一情况感到悲伤。 “是的,我已经得知此事。这是一件悲伤的事情,但负责存储的人对此负责,”他说。 与此同时,一名非执行议会成员也确认他没有收到缝纫机。 “我没有收到任何缝纫机。我会与其他非执行成员确认,”他说。 大约八名议会成员被理解为没有收到缝纫机。 这些缝纫机被视为发展农村社区技能和能力的重要资源。它们可以为当地人提供创业、就业、技术培训和技能发展的机会。 对分配的担忧促使人们呼吁在捐赠机器的管理和分配中提高透明度和问责制。 [照片说明:当地人修理缝纫机。照片提供]

Supervising Provincial Police Commander for Honiara City Police, Superintendent Leslie Kili, said illegal gambling in public places had contributed to public disturbances, including pickpocketing when groups gathered to gamble. Kili said gambling in public spaces is an offence under the Gaming and Lotteries Act. He said people found gambling unlawfully in public spaces could face charges under Section 4 of the Act. Kili also warned that owners of premises used for illegal gambling could be charged under Section 3(4) for organising or managing unlawful gambling. The RSIPF statement said police would continue conducting joint operations against illegal gambling every weekend. “We will continue on with this kind of joint operation every weekend,” Kili said. He said police could conduct raids at any time when they receive information about illegal gambling activities.

BY BEN BILUA Gizo THE battle over San Jorge Island’s lucrative nickel resources has escalated, with customary landowners taking Hong Kong-based Far East Resources Company Ltd to the High Court over the alleged illegal transfer of their 30 per cent shareholding. Information reaching Island Sun states that the case has been mentioned in the High Court and is now awaiting a full hearing. At the centre of the dispute is a 30 per cent equity stake that landowners say the transferred of the 30 per cent shareholding to Tianjin Far East International Shipping Agency Co. Ltd took place on October 30, 2023 was done without their knowledge. According to the San Jorge Island Resource Owners Association Trust Board (Incorporated) the Share Transfer Agreement was officially stamped by the Solomon Islands Collector of Stamp Duties on November 1, 2023. Landowners are now challenging the legitimacy of the transaction, claiming the transfer was carried out without their approval or consent. “The 30 per cent was given to us as landowners to ensure we benefit from our own resources. Now it has been taken back illegally. We were not consulted. We did not agree,” a senior South San Jorge landowner who want his name withheld said. Landowners allege the two Chinese nationals and a local facilitator were involved in facilitating the transfer of the shareholding to the Chinese shipping company. Company records show that Jiangtao Cui and Jiang Zhu became directors signing on behalf of Tianjin Far East. Landowners have questioned how an equity stake intended to benefit customary resource owners could be transferred without their knowledge. The High Court proceedings follow months of growing tension on San Jorge over Far East Resources’ activities. Landowners have alleged that the company has been undertaking extensive mining-related activities under a prospecting licence issued on July 5, with six dump trucks, bulldozers and excavators reportedly brought onto the island. The allegations surrounding the 30 per cent shareholding and the company’s activities are now before the courts. The case is being closely watched by landowners and communities in Bugotu, Isabel, where questions over customary ownership, resource benefits and the rights of indigenous resource owners remain highly sensitive. According to the report, Far East Resources Company Ltd has yet to file its full defence to the allegations. Attempts to contact the company for comments were unsuccessful before publication.
作者:本·比卢亚 吉佐 关于圣乔治岛丰厚镍资源的争夺战升级,习惯性土地所有者将总部位于香港的远东资源有限公司告上高等法院,原因是他们声称其30%的股权被非法转让。 据《岛屿太阳》获得的信息,该案件已在高等法院提及,目前正等待全面审理。 争议的核心是一项30%的股权,土地所有者表示,30%的股权于2023年10月30日转让给天津远东国际航运代理有限公司的过程是在他们不知情的情况下进行的。 根据圣乔治岛资源所有者协会信托委员会(注册)提供的信息,股权转让协议于2023年11月1日正式由所罗门群岛印花税征收员盖章。 土地所有者现在正在质疑该交易的合法性,声称转让是在没有他们的批准或同意的情况下进行的。 一位不愿透露姓名的南圣乔治土地所有者表示:“这30%是给予我们的,作为土地所有者,以确保我们能从自己的资源中受益。现在它被非法收回。我们没有被咨询,也没有同意。” 土地所有者指控两名中国国籍人士和一名当地中介参与了将股权转让给中国航运公司的过程。 公司记录显示,崔江涛和江竹成为了代表天津远东签字的董事。 土地所有者质疑,原本旨在使习惯性资源所有者受益的股权,怎么会在他们不知情的情况下被转让。 高等法院的诉讼是在圣乔治岛上关于远东资源活动的紧张局势持续数月后进行的。 土地所有者指控该公司在7月5日获得的勘探许可证下,进行了广泛的采矿相关活动,报道称有六辆自卸卡车、推土机和挖掘机被运送到岛上。 围绕30%股权和该公司活动的指控目前已提交法庭。 该案件受到土地所有者和布戈图、伊莎贝尔社区的密切关注,关于习惯性所有权、资源利益和土著资源所有者权利的问题仍然非常敏感。 据报道,远东资源有限公司尚未对这些指控提交完整的辩护。 在发布前,尝试联系该公司以获取评论未果。
BY TONY IROGA PRIME Minister Mr. Matthew Wale and Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown have reaffirmed their commitment to deepening bilateral ties and strengthening regional security across the Pacific. The two leaders met for a historic bilateral engagement focusing on shared regional priorities, economic cooperation, and collective security architecture, a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (OPMC) yesterday said. Welcoming the inaugural bilateral talk, Prime Minister Brown highlighted the shared geographic and demographic challenges facing Pacific Island nations, emphasizing the vital role of regional unity. “Though small, the Cook Islands remains dedicated to regional stability,” PM Brown said, citing his country’s historical contribution to the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) as a prime example of Pacific solidarity. PM Brown also commended the vital contributions of Solomon Islands healthcare professionals currently working in the Cook Islands, describing them as “an important people-to-people link between the two nations.” In response, Prime Minister Wale expressed gratitude for the engagement, emphasizing the urgent need to fortify the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) so regional priorities are forcefully represented on the global stage. With transnational crime and security risks on the rise, PM Wale called for a more robust regional security framework to safeguard island communities. “Pacific countries must strengthen cooperation and collective responses to combat emerging security challenges and transnational crime,” PM Wale stated during the meeting. Wale acknowledged the Cook Islands’ contribution to regional policing through RAMSI as a practical model for future regional security initiatives. Both leaders concluded the meeting by pledging to work closely through the Pacific Islands Forum and other regional bodies to champion the shared interests and welfare of Pacific peoples.

BY JOHN HOUANIHAU Prime Minister Matthew Wale has revealed that the government has commenced work to explore artificial intelligence (AI) management system for the national Treasury. Speaking during a press conference held last week, Prime Minister Wale said that the government is exploring AI to help in management decision-making and to make work more efficient. He said the new technology will sit above the current financial system throughout the ministry, allowing the government to make real-time decisions on real-time data. He adds that work has already begun on this system. The Prime Minister noted that governments are working towards managing AI, balancing the objective of controlling it with using it usefully in terms of domestic policy. He said large nations are currently pulled between controlling the technology and competing to get ahead. According to Wale Australia is currently a little bit in front in terms of regulating and having more informed policies. He said United States and China are still struggling to really deal with the fast-moving technology. He also raised serious concerns about recent experiences with rogue AI agents while acknowledging that AI brings many benefits that humanity will profit from. He explained that these agents have been able to do things expected of human beings, such as going outside of their training or testing boundaries to do things their trainers never taught them. “They turn around and try to cover up their tracks. It’s the kind of thing that criminal hackers do. Now you’ve got AI doing it,” Wale told journalists. The Prime Minister emphasized that the biggest dangers sit within the military sphere, specifically concerning the proliferation of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. Wale said that the Solomon Islands shares these global concerns as part of the United Nations family. He noted that leaders and talent within the tech sector are also calling for regulation to keep competitors within limits that are safe for humanity. Wale acknowledged that as a small country, the Solomon Islands is at the receiving end of a lot of this technology, and its arrival is much more delayed than in other countries. Wale echoed that in his recent statement at the UNGA, he made a direct call for the need for global governance of AI at the UN level because the nation is part of humanity and shares these vital concerns.

作者:约翰·霍阿尼哈乌 总理马修·韦尔(Matthew Wale)透露,政府已开始探索用于国家财政的人工智能(AI)管理系统。 在上周举行的新闻发布会上,韦尔总理表示,政府正在探索人工智能以帮助管理决策,并提高工作效率。 他说,这项新技术将位于整个部门现有财务系统之上,使政府能够基于实时数据做出实时决策。 他补充说,这一系统的工作已经开始。 总理指出,各国政府正在努力管理人工智能,平衡控制与在国内政策中有效利用的目标。 他说,大国目前在控制技术与竞争领先之间左右为难。 韦尔表示,澳大利亚在监管和制定更为明智的政策方面目前稍微领先。 他说,美国和中国仍在努力应对快速发展的技术。 他还对最近与不法人工智能代理的经历表示严重关切,同时承认人工智能带来了人类将从中受益的许多好处。 他解释说,这些代理能够做出人类所期望的事情,例如超越其训练或测试的界限,做出训练者从未教过的事情。 “它们会试图掩盖自己的痕迹。这是犯罪黑客所做的事情。现在你看到人工智能也在这样做,”韦尔对记者说道。 总理强调,最大的危险在于军事领域,特别是关于化学、生物和核武器的扩散。 韦尔表示,所罗门群岛作为联合国大家庭的一部分,分享这些全球性关切。 他指出,科技领域的领导者和人才也在呼吁监管,以确保竞争者在对人类安全的范围内。 韦尔承认,作为一个小国,所罗门群岛在许多技术方面处于接收端,其到来比其他国家要晚得多。 韦尔重申,在他最近的联合国大会发言中,他直接呼吁在联合国层面上对人工智能进行全球治理,因为这个国家是人类的一部分,分享这些重要的关切。 [韦尔总理在上周的新闻发布会上与当地媒体交谈:照片由约翰·霍阿尼哈乌提供]
BY BEN BILUA Gizo THE community of Baniata village on Rendova Island is continuing its search for a 73-year-old man who went missing after leaving the village to go fishing on Friday morning. Community member Mosses Bulekolo said the elderly man was seen paddling out to sea on Friday morning but failed to return. He said concern grew after villagers discovered the man’s canoe and paddle later that afternoon. “The old man went out fishing on Friday morning. Some of the villagers saw him paddle out to sea. But later in the afternoon, around 1 to 2pm, some of the people found his paddle and canoe. That’s when we realised something was wrong and started searching,” Bulekolo said. The canoe used by the missing person. Photo supplied. He said the community also found some of the man’s fishing gear with the canoe. Bulekolo said an initial search party, made up mainly of strong young men from the community, went out to look for the missing man but was unable to locate him. He said villagers have since continued searching along the shoreline, while others have been diving underwater in areas where they believe the man could possibly be found. Bulekolo said several requests had been made to Munda Police Station for assistance, but police had not yet joined the search as of Sunday. “As we speak, the search still continues and we are still waiting for the police to come and help us with the search,” he said. Bulekolo said the community was desperate to find the missing man and return him to his family and relatives. He also appealed to nearby communities, fishermen and boat operators to remain alert and report any sighting that could assist the search. “If you happen to see anything, please call the police and also our chiefs,” he said. The community is continuing its search while appealing for assistance from authorities and nearby communities. [Photo: Another search party ready to go out to look for the missing person.
