金刻羽:新技术时代,告别旧的“权力剧本”
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-29 11:44
Core Viewpoint - The competition between China and the United States in the technology sector is intensifying, with the notion of "who will win" being an outdated perspective. The rise of AI technology is reshaping industries and geopolitical landscapes, indicating that power is no longer solely determined by size and scale, but by the ability to coordinate and gain support from various parties [1]. Group 1 - The current geopolitical narrative is overly focused on traditional power concepts such as military strength and resources, which no longer accurately reflect the world's reality [1]. - The semiconductor industry exemplifies how U.S. attempts to suppress China's technological capabilities have inadvertently accelerated China's innovation [1]. - Countries that attempt to coerce others into choosing sides may face isolation, as both the U.S. and China are concerned about their national security, but this is not the only reality in today's world [1]. Group 2 - Neutral countries should focus on embedding themselves in key nodes, such as becoming financial or logistics hubs, to gain influence rather than choosing sides [2]. - Malaysia and Singapore are leveraging their positions as network hubs or logistics nodes to exert greater influence than their size would suggest [2]. - Malaysia is striving to become Southeast Asia's data center, with the total capacity of AI data centers in Johor expected to rise from 10 megawatts three years ago to over 1,500 megawatts by 2024, potentially surpassing Virginia, USA, in five years [2]. Group 3 - Concerns about the technological decoupling between China and the U.S. were expressed by executives from Chinese companies, emphasizing the desire for a world that is not fragmented by technology choices [3]. - Neutral countries like those in ASEAN and the Gulf Cooperation Council provide a buffer space for both China and the U.S., allowing different technologies to coexist without being labeled as either Chinese or American [4].

财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-29 11:44
Core Viewpoint - Duolingo has shifted its stance on artificial intelligence, moving from a position that suggested AI would replace human workers to one that emphasizes AI as a tool to enhance efficiency while maintaining or improving work quality [1][2]. Group 1: Duolingo's Position Change - Duolingo's CEO, Luis von Ahn, clarified that he does not believe AI is replacing employees and stated that the company is still hiring at the same pace [1]. - The company is developing training programs and forming advisory committees to help teams learn and adapt to AI responsibly [1]. - This clarification comes after Duolingo announced plans to gradually stop using contractors for tasks that AI can perform, indicating a significant shift in their approach [1]. Group 2: Industry Trends - Duolingo's self-correction reflects a broader trend among startups, with fintech company Klarna also adjusting its AI strategy after admitting that its chatbot quality was lacking and deciding to resume hiring [3]. - Shopify faced similar criticism for suggesting that AI-driven productivity could replace new employees, highlighting a growing skepticism about the role of AI in the workforce [4]. Group 3: AI's Impact on Productivity - The shift in Duolingo's stance underscores that the concept of "AI-first" is more appealing to investors and management than to the general public [5]. - Research indicates that many AI projects fail to deliver expected returns, with a survey showing that three-quarters of AI initiatives did not meet investment expectations [5]. - A study involving 25,000 AI industry professionals found that AI has not significantly improved productivity or affected income and working hours [5].
美国借款人迎来借贷成本高企时代
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-29 11:44
Core Viewpoint - The recent tax reduction measures proposed in the Republican "Big and Beautiful" bill are prompting investors to sell U.S. Treasuries, reminiscent of the 2007 market behavior, indicating a potential long-term rise in borrowing costs for U.S. borrowers [1][3]. Group 1: Bond Yield Trends - The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, a benchmark for various loans, has seen a significant rise, with the 30-year yield surpassing 5% for the first time in nearly two years, reaching its highest level since spring 2007 [3][6]. - Morgan Stanley's Jim Caron suggests that interest rates are unlikely to return to historical lows, indicating a need to adapt to a steeper yield curve and persistent inflation [3][8]. Group 2: Economic Implications - The rise in bond yields is attributed to the Federal Reserve's actions to combat inflation, which have diminished the attractiveness of existing bonds compared to newly issued ones [5][6]. - Concerns over rising inflation and federal deficits, exacerbated by tax cuts and tariffs, are driving up interest rates, with the Congressional Budget Office projecting a federal deficit of $1.9 trillion for FY2025, representing 6.2% of GDP [6][7]. Group 3: Political and Fiscal Dynamics - The "Big and Beautiful" bill is expected to increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion by 2034, raising concerns among investors about the sustainability of such fiscal policies [7]. - The potential for a unified Republican government to maintain large deficits poses risks, as highlighted by Moody's recent downgrade of U.S. debt ratings due to deficit concerns [7][8]. Group 4: Global Economic Factors - Caron emphasizes that the current rise in yields is not a temporary phenomenon, contrasting with the declining trend of borrowing costs since the 1980s, which was largely due to low inflation rates influenced by globalization [8][11]. - The ongoing concerns about U.S. debt and shrinking global trade may weaken demand for U.S. Treasuries, further pushing up bond yields [11][12].
