John Keilman: 人工智能对海量数据的需求推动了数据存储行业的发展,硬盘和固态硬盘厂商都在努力提升存储容量以满足这一需求。Seagate公司通过热辅助磁记录技术等创新,提高了硬盘的存储密度,使其在AI时代保持竞争力。这些创新使得硬盘驱动器在数据存储领域仍然具有竞争力,并能延缓其被淘汰的时间。 Rolf Winkler: 当前AI市场的巨额投资与回报的不确定性,让人们将其与dot-com泡沫进行比较。虽然AI技术前景广阔,但目前投资回报不明朗。历史上存在‘好泡沫’和‘坏泡沫’之分,‘好泡沫’能促进革命性技术的快速应用,而‘坏泡沫’则不会带来生产力提升。AI可能属于‘好泡沫’,因为它投资的是具有生产力的资产,最终会带来巨大的经济效益,只是时间问题。一些在dot-com泡沫中失败的公司,其商业模式在今天得到了成功应用,例如宠物食品和杂货配送。在当前市场中,像英伟达这样的芯片供应商是赢家,但AI产品的最终成功仍存在不确定性。
