2026.02. 08 本文字数：2470，阅读时长大约4分钟 在理论定义中，AGI被视为AI的终极状态，意味着系统能在会计、法律等多个白领专业领域达到并取 代人类的智力水平。 现代AI"教父"之一本吉奥（Yoshua Bengio）警示称，AGI的研发进程可能会陷入停滞，而这种停滞 对投资者而言无异于灾难。他称，行业很可能在不久的将来"碰壁"，面对目前无法预见且难以快速解 决的技术瓶颈，这可能诱发一场真正的金融崩盘。毕竟，当前涌向AI领域的数万亿资金，大多建立 在技术能以目前速度规律进步的乐观预期之上。 罗伯特·李凭借其在帝国理工学院深造电子工程的学术背景，也提供了基于技术视角的结论。他表 示："从本质上看，AI运行的底层逻辑近年来并未发生颠覆性变革，真正的改变在于算力与存储能力 的爆发式增长，以及模型从处理单一数字数据向多模态（涵盖文本、视频和音频）的进化。尽管如 此，这些模型的核心仍是模式识别，实质上是极其复杂的统计模型。" 罗伯特·李形象地解释道，当用户利用AI模型搜索量子计算时，模型只是通过训练库或互联网搜集海 量资料，并利用模式识别提取共性并予以总结。这种功能虽然高效，却并非真正的智能。 作者 | ...

2026年刚刚走过一个月，中国都还没有迎来农历新年，这一年的AI战事会是什么基调已经初现端倪。 随着硅谷巨头进入财报周，很明显的信号是新的一年AI投入会加大，光是谷歌母公司Alphabet、Meta、亚马逊、微软四家的相关投入就可能 高达6500亿美元，超过以色列一年的GDP总和。 更不要说甲骨文、特斯拉、xAI、OpenAI、Anthropic等玩家也在努力奋进，零零总总加起来，2026年这些公司围绕AI的投入可能要达到7500 亿美元了。 更不要提OpenAI还有"八年1.4万亿"的基建承诺，若按照平均值粗略计算进去，这个数字冲着万亿美元去了。 这实在是疯狂。 而在国内，大厂的支出虽然不像硅谷"七巨头"那样夸张，但同样可以看到保持或加大AI投入的决心。头部大厂一年的投入也已经来到了千亿 人民币的水平。 最明显的是，距离春节还有几天，腾讯、百度、阿里等大厂就已经迫不及待打起"春节AI红包大战"，承诺的规模已经超过了45亿元。 2026年，注定是AI战事大开大合的一年。 硅谷狂投9250亿美元 硅谷巨头已经"疯"了。 在硅谷"七巨头"中，谷歌母公司Alphabet、微软、Meta、亚马逊四家2026年计划给A ...

Group 7: The Value of AI Talent - The scarcity of top AI talent makes them a strategic asset for companies, with the potential to significantly impact model training costs and performance [64].

美国科技巨头大举"撒钱"的举动正令资本市场感到忧虑。 上周，在亚马逊宣布计划向人工智能（AI）及相关基础设施领域注资2000亿美元后，股价于6日早盘应 声下跌近9%。然而，市场的冷静反应并未浇灭这场AI投资热潮。根据谷歌、微软、亚马逊和Meta在近 日披露的最新资本支出计划，这四大科技巨头在2026年的开支总额预计将高达约6500亿美元。 在理论定义中，AGI被视为AI的终极状态，意味着系统能在会计、法律等多个白领专业领域达到并取代 人类的智力水平。 而驱动这些巨头"不计成本"投入的核心逻辑，很大程度上寄希望于通用人工智能（AGI）的实现，以及 随之而来的数万亿美元潜在回报。正如硅谷风投机构红杉资本（Sequoia Capital）合伙人卡恩（David Cahn）所言："唯有AGI的实现，才能证成未来十年这一量级的投资提案。" 然而，业内对AGI实现路径正涌现出越来越多的怀疑。彭博行业研究高级中国科技分析师罗伯特·李 （Robert Lea）在接受第一财经记者采访时表示，鉴于当代AI模型存在根本性的逻辑缺陷且方法论较为 单一，仅仅通过扩展现有模型，即行业目前盛行的做法，不太可能实现AGI。 模式识别并非真智 ...
