Minneapolis has become kind of a ground zero in the struggle over what this country is becoming, especially as American institutions fail again and again to meet this moment. Some of this fight is visible on our televisions, on our phones, much of it is happening away from the cameras. It's happening where American residents, no longer dividing themselves neatly into groups of either citizens or immigrants, but seeing one another as neighbors, are asking a very basic question.What do the businesses we suppo ...

施密特对话德勤 CEO:AI 落地的第一步,不是选模型
3 6 Ke· 2026-01-31 02:31
企业部署 AI,第一步几乎都是选模型。 好像选对了模型,AI 就能自己落地。但现实是:模型再强,如果组织不跟着动,AI 也只能是摆设。 最近福布斯举办的一场对话中,前 Google CEO 埃里克·施密特与德勤全球 CEO Joe Ucuzoglu 谈的不是 模型能力,而是组织能不能用好 AI。 德勤的数据显示:虽然企业员工能用上 AI 工具的比例在增长,但真正重构过业务流程的企业,只有三 成。 工具普及了,流程却没动。这才是 AI 普及率低问题所在。 所以真正的问题,不是选哪家的模型,而是你敢不敢动组织。 第一节|流程改写权在谁手里 企业上 AI,第一件事都是找最好模型。 但施密特看到的是另一件事: 过去的 AI 只会对话(ChatGPT),现在的 AI 开始能做事(Agent)。 把 AI 能干什么,直接写进岗位要求 重建一个 AI 能参与的流程体系 这话的意思是,AI 不再只是回答问题,而是要真正执行任务。重点不是选哪家模型,而是流程能不能 交给 AI。 要把流程交给 AI,就得先解决:流程归谁管?谁敢动第一刀? 现实是,技术团队想上 AI,业务部门不敢动。 施密特提到,当年 Google 在广告系统中 ...
