"我们并不是在这里挑选赢家或输家。我们的目标是为所有联邦政府员工提供尽可能多的工具，最大限 度提高他们的工作效率。不同的使用场景将需要不同的工具。"GSA副局长斯蒂芬·埃希基安(Stephen Ehikian)表示。 凤凰网科技讯 北京时间8月5日，据彭博社报道，美国政府的中央采购部门将把OpenAI、谷歌以及 Anthropic纳入政府批准的AI供应商名单，此举将为AI技术在联邦文职机构的广泛应用铺平道路。 就在数天前，美国总统特朗普签署三项行政命令，以重塑政府在AI领域的作用，其中包括一项要求联 邦机构仅采购"无意识形态偏见"的大语言模型。(作者/箫雨) 美国总务管理局(GSA)将于当地时间周二宣布这一举措，通过其"多重采购计划"(MAS，一个预先谈妥 合同条款的联邦采购平台)提供这些AI工具，加快AI工具在联邦政府中的普及。若无此项便利措施，各 机构通常需要耗费数月时间自行协商技术使用条款。 GSA官员表示，已对三家公司的AI模型进行了多项性能与安全措施评估，也就是OpenAI的ChatGPT、 谷歌的Gemini和Anthropic的Claude。GSA未立即披露具体合同条款，但它此前曾利用自身的采购 ...

美国经济数据近期呈现出复杂态势，对股市的影响也显得喜忧参半。周一，美国公布的6月份工厂订单数据显示，该 月订单量环比下跌4.8%，这一跌幅与市场预期的4.9%相接近，同时也是自2020年4月以来，超过五年间的单月最大跌 幅。然而，若从同比角度看，5月份的修正值则显示出8.3%的大幅增长。 降息预期不仅提振了股市，也推动了风投项目的融资和退出活动。对于初创企业而言，尤其是那些拥有高科技和专 业专利权的科技企业，低利率环境意味着资金成本降低，更易于获得融资支持。这些企业亟需资金以维持运营并推 动发展，而资金方也看好其增长前景，愿意在低利率环境下投资以获得丰厚回报。 近期公布的科技巨头6月财季业绩显示，为了在AI领域保持竞争力，这些企业都在大幅增加资本开支。例如，亚马逊 在最近12个月的资本开支已超过千亿美元，微软、谷歌、meta等也为了抢占AI高地而不惜重金投入数据中心建设和 抢购AI芯片。meta更是掀起了人才争夺战，以期在AI领域占据先机。与此同时，英伟达、谷歌母公司Alphabet、微软 等也在积极活跃于创业社区，抢购有潜力的初创项目。 这些科创企业虽然尚处于初始发展阶段，尚未产生盈利，但其估值却受到市场的 ...

（文章来源：第一财经） 据报道，美国政府的中央采购部门正在将OpenAI、谷歌和Anthropic加入到被批准的人工智能供应商名 单中，此举将加速人工智能工具在联邦政府的采用。 ...

大约二十年来，几乎所有存在于互联网上的企业，从最小的拥有网站的夫妻店到世界上最大的零售商， 都不得不担心谷歌。在低端，这意味着确保您的网站对搜索引擎可用且清晰，以便当人们寻找您时，他 们实际上可以找到您。更直接地说，您可以向 Google 付费，让他们针对搜索做广告，确保您获得更多 知名度，并帮助这家搜索巨头成长为一家价值万亿美元的公司。 然后还有第三种选择：搜索引擎优化，或 SEO，这是一个价值 750 亿美元的行业，致力于改善自然搜 索结果。这意味着不仅仅是确保 Google 可以抓取您的网站。SEO 塑造了网络上几乎所有内容的外观和 阅读方式。这就是为什么头条新闻是这样的（也是为什么很多新闻报道都会被发表）。这就是为什么在 线食谱以他们阅读的方式阅读。这就是为什么电子商务列表中充斥着旨在吸引谷歌算法眼球的文本。这 就是为什么网络的很多地方都让人感觉如此不可思议，就好像它是为某人或某事而写的，而不是浏览它 的人，也是谷歌本身感觉如此破碎的原因之一。 然后是 ChatGPT。几个月之内，Microsoft 和 Google 开始取笑看起来和工作更像聊天机器人的搜索引擎; 不久之后，流行的聊天机器人开始集成与 ...
