Berber Jin: Google斥资320亿美元收购网络安全初创公司Wiz,旨在增强其云计算业务的安全性,并借此机会抢占快速增长的网络安全市场。这笔交易是Google有史以来最大的一笔收购,反映出云安全对Google的重要性。Wiz开发的网络安全工具易于使用,兼容各种云平台,服务于从初创企业到大型企业的各种客户。此次收购将使Google能够内部整合Wiz的产品,并进一步拓展其云服务业务。然而,这笔交易能否成功取决于美国联邦贸易委员会的批准,而这存在不确定性,因为新的监管制度对大型科技公司的并购审查更为严格。 Matt Barnum: 人工智能技术,例如ChatGPT,使得学生更容易作弊,这引发了教育工作者和政策制定者对学生学习和批判性思维能力发展担忧。许多学生利用AI完成作业,甚至考试,这使得教师难以评估学生的真实学习水平。虽然一些教师和学生认为AI可以辅助学习,但大部分人担心学生会过度依赖AI,从而影响其学习能力和批判性思维能力的培养。一些学校已经开始采取措施应对AI作弊,例如增加课堂作业、限制家庭作业、使用AI检测工具等。然而,这些措施并非完美无缺,如何平衡AI的利弊,以及如何在教育中有效利用AI,仍然是一个有待解决的问题。
