图片来源： 联合国一项新报告指出，女性岗位被人工智能自动化取代的可能性几乎是男性的三倍。图片来源：Getty Images 当劳动者普遍担忧人工智能会取代自己时，职场女性可能有更多理由感到焦虑。根据联合国国际劳工组 织和波兰国家研究所的最新数据，传统上由女性从事的工作比男性从事的工作更易受到人工智能的影 响。 周二发布的报告发现，在高收入国家，面临人工智能自动化风险最高的岗位占女性职位的9.6%，而男 性仅为3.5%。更广泛地讲，全球25%的工作岗位可能受到生成式人工智能的影响，在高收入国家这一比 例上升至34%。 报告指出，文书和行政类工作受人工智能影响的风险最高，这可能是人工智能对女性劳动者构成更大威 胁的原因之一。美国人口普查局的数据显示，2000年至2019年间，美国93%至97%的秘书和行政助理职 位由女性担任，而同期女性占劳动力总数的40%至44%。美国劳工部的数据表明，秘书和行政人员是美 国女性第五大常见职业。 值得注意的是，这项研究未提及护理员等需要情感劳动的岗位，此类工作往往由女性承担，且被视作较 难被人工智能所取代。 自动化与增强化 虽然人工智能已显示出取代软件工程师和计算机程序员等工作岗 ...

达利欧在X平台发文称："关于美国债务降级，需知信用评级仅评价了政府违约风险，因而低估了信用 风险。" 上周，评级机构穆迪将美国评级从AAA下调至Aa1，理由是美国国债膨胀导致财政状况日益恶化。在穆 迪下调评级后，美国在三大评级机构中彻底失去最高评级。 穆迪表示，目前国会审议的预算法案只会进一步增加美国本就高企的债务与利息支出。 穆迪在声明中表示："我们认为当前正在审议的财政提案不会在未来几年实质性地削减开支和缩小赤 字。" 然而，尽管穆迪认为美国违约拒绝偿债的情景目前不太可能出现，但达利欧认为存在一个更大的潜在风 险。他指出，美国失去顶级评级甚至未涵盖更危险的威胁：通过印钞偿债。 达里欧强调："评级未涵盖负债国通过印钞偿债所带来的更大风险——此举将导致债券持有者因所获资 金的购买力下降（而非偿付金额减少）而蒙受损失。" 若美国单纯选择通过增发美元偿债，而非削减其他开支或增加财政收入，货币供应量激增将引发通胀。 在此情形下，债券持有者获得的收益因美元泛滥稀释，实际价值将大打折扣。 传奇投资人瑞·达利欧警告称，穆迪近期对美国信用评级的调降仅反映出债券持有者当前承受的部分风 险。 达里欧写道："换言之，对于关注货币 ...
