在移动操作系统领域博弈了十余年后，Android和iOS已经越来越有"趋同进化"的征兆了。比如Android 正变得越来越封闭，虽然谷歌嘴上说"侧载不会消失"，可实际操作却是一点点在收紧侧载的权限。 01 日前，谷歌Play Store开发者体验产品管理总监兼首席产品讲解员Matthew Forsyth在社交平台上确认，一 套关于侧载的"高阻力"安装流程即将上线，这一新系统并非对侧载功能的限制，而是一个"责任层"。高 级用户仍可选择"跳过验证直接安装"，但未来侧载安装将面临更大的操作阻力，旨在确保用户了解通过 侧载安装应用的风险。 简而言之，未来的Android系统尽管依然可以通过应用商店之外的渠道获取应用，比如APK文件，但用 户将被迫进行一套复杂而繁琐的流程，以向谷歌证明自己具有应对未知风险的能力。当然，如果不是 Android开发者社区穷追猛打，或许如今的这个权宜之计可能都不会有。 关于侧载的"高阻力"流程其实是谷歌对于Android开发者社区的妥协，并放弃了开发者身份信息验证计 划。此前在去年夏季，谷歌方面突然宣布从2026年开始，所有要在Android设备上分发应用的开发者都 需要完成身份信息注册， ...

作者 | 高允毅 "没有，从来都没有安心的时候。" 在 2026 年达沃斯世界经济论坛，DeepMind 创始人、Google DeepMind CEO 德米斯·哈萨比斯，用这句话形容过去三到四年的谷歌。 外界一度流行的"谷歌慢半拍"的言论，在他看来是一个彻底的误解。事实上，在这段时间里，谷歌的 AI 团队几乎一直处于红色警报状态。他本人长期保 持着每周 100 小时、一年 50 周的工作强度，把一家万亿美元体量的科技巨头，硬生生拉回到创业公司的战时节奏。 他并不认为 DeepSeek 构成真正意义上的"危机"，也直言西方舆论夸大了其算力效率优势，这背后仍依赖西方模型蒸馏。在他看来，中国公司极其擅长追 赶，但是否能率先打开下一代技术前沿，仍有待时间验证。而 现代人工智能行业所依赖的约 90% 的突破性技术，都是谷歌研发的。 但他特别表扬了 字节跳动，给出了一个极具分量的评价：字节跳动距离技术前沿，大约只差 6 个月，而不是 1–2 年。 也正是在这样的状态下，谷歌迎来了 Gemini 3 的发布，被哈萨比斯视为"重回行业最前沿"的关键节点。 在接受彭博社记者 Emily Chang 的专访时，他罕见地系统性拆 ...

哈萨比斯表示，谷歌"目前没有任何计划"在其人工智能聊天机器人中投放广告，但该公司将密切关注用 户反馈。（思瀚） 哈萨比斯还表示，尽管广告对谷歌的核心业务至关重要，但他的团队并没有感受到来自这家科技巨头的 压力，要求他们在广告方面做出"仓促"的决定。 据此前报道，OpenAI 于近期宣布将开始测试广告。"我有点惊讶他们这么早就涉足广告领域，"哈萨比 斯说道，"广告本身没什么错，但在助手领域，如果你把聊天机器人看作是旨在提供帮助的助手，随着 它们变得越来越强大，理想情况下它们会成为一种为个人服务的科技。那么问题就来了，广告如何融入 这种模式？你想信任你的助手，那么这该如何实现呢？" 来源：环球网 【环球网科技综合报道】1月23日消息，据TechCrunch报道，谷歌DeepMind首席执行官德米斯·哈萨比斯 表示，他对OpenAI已在其人工智能聊天机器人中引入广告感到"惊讶"。 ...
