Belle Lin: 我认为人工智能的未来发展方向,首先是AI代理,它可以帮助我们处理各种日常事务,例如预订餐厅或叫出租车。紧随其后的是物理AI,它将人工智能融入到我们的实际生活环境中,例如工厂自动化和家用机器人。这种物理AI的关键在于将AI技术嵌入到各种硬件设备中,从而摆脱对传统屏幕界面的依赖。目前,OpenAI与Johnny Ives的合作正致力于开发一种新型的AI设备,旨在成为我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。然而,如何将这些AI技术成功商业化仍然是一个巨大的挑战。目前主要的盈利模式包括销售AI模型的使用权和可穿戴设备的硬件及软件升级。对于企业而言,采用AI技术已成为一种生存需求,尤其是在那些容易被AI自动化的行业中。虽然AI在军事、医疗和家庭服务等领域已经展现出巨大的潜力,但其广泛应用和盈利能力仍面临诸多挑战。随着AI模型效率的提高,数据中心的基础设施成本有望降低,但硬件成本仍然是一个显著的障碍。因此,AI开发商需要找到有效的商业模式,以确保其技术能够获得市场的认可并实现盈利。作为一名AI从业者,我深知AI的价值衡量是一个长期存在的问题,但市场力量终将推动AI公司实现盈利,并为企业带来实际的经济效益。
