AI Deep Dive AI Chapters Transcript
Topics
Brad Gerstner: 我认为美国在人工智能领域的政策已经发生了重大转变,从之前的限制技术扩散转变为鼓励技术合作和开放。过去,美国似乎想要阻止其他国家获取美国的人工智能技术,但现在我们正在解除这些限制,允许美国公司在全球范围内竞争并取得成功。这种转变不仅对美国经济有利,而且对全球都有好处,因为它避免了出现类似华为的局面,即中国技术全面进入中东市场。如果美国继续之前的政策,可能会导致其他国家转向中国的AI技术栈,这对美国来说是一个巨大的战略失误。现在,通过与包括沙特阿拉伯在内的盟友建立合作关系,美国可以确保其技术在全球范围内得到更广泛的应用,从而增强美国的全球领导地位。 Bill Gurley: 我非常同意Brad的观点。过去,美国似乎正在走向建立一个围绕自身的“技术围墙”,这与互联网时代的开放模式截然相反。如果美国继续采取限制技术扩散的政策,可能会导致全球形成“美国AI”和“中国AI”两个阵营,而其他国家将不得不选择其中一个。这种局面将对美国非常不利。幸运的是,我们现在似乎正在朝着一个更加开放和合作的方向发展。然而,我们仍然需要警惕那些希望减缓AI技术发展速度的人,因为他们可能会试图阻止美国技术的扩散。总的来说,我认为美国应该坚持开放和合作的政策,以确保其在全球AI领域的领导地位。
