纳德拉表示，AI必须走出科技公司的范畴，实现更广泛的渗透。否则，过去数年提振股市、催生历史 性估值的AI热潮，从定义上来说必然会成为一场泡沫。"从定义而言，要避免形成泡沫，就必须让AI带 来的收益更均衡地惠及各方。" 为平息对AI泡沫的进一步担忧，纳德拉表示，基于过去20年云计算和移动设备的广泛普及，他对AI技 术的快速扩散充满信心。非科技领域的企业对AI更广泛的应用将推动经济增长，这种增长必须由企业 运用AI提升自身营收来驱动，而非仅靠科技公司投资AI基础设施的资本支出，资本支出驱动的经济增 长"正是我们当前所见的现象"。 在企业管理方面，大型企业是否会因AI高昂的开发成本而具备先天优势？纳德拉表示，初创公司能从 零开始构建AI体系，而传统巨头虽在数据、规模和客户关系方面保有优势，却受困于变革管理难 题，"没有任何一方能安于现状。" 此外，纳德拉表示，欧洲若要在AI时代取得成功，就需要有更广阔的全球视野。"欧洲的竞争力在于其 产出的全球竞争力，而不仅限于欧洲内部。"他认为，欧洲经济在过去300年里繁荣是因为能够生产出世 界所需的产品，要想再次做到这一点，就需要投资能够驱动AI的能源与token。 卡内基梅隆 ...
