闫德利 腾讯研究院资深专家 一、AI已在诸多任务领域超越人类 AI发展日新月异，在许多任务上已经陆续超越人类基线水平。如2015年图像分类，2018年中等水平阅读 理解，2020年视觉推理、英语语言理解，2023年多任务语言理解、竞赛级数学，2024年博士级科学问 题。下图所示的8项关键任务技能中，AI仅在多模态理解和推理能力上还略逊人类一筹，但从2023年开 始就加速提升。我们有望很快见证AI 能力在现有主流基准上"全部超越人类水平"的奇点时刻。 图 选定的 AI 指数技术性能基准与人类表现对比 二、AGI的终极目标或于年内实现 我们已经构建了无数在特定任务上超越人类水平的AI系统，但它们缺乏通用性，无法应对超出预定任务 之外的问题，尚处于"狭义人工智能 （Narrow AI） "阶段。随着AI性能的大幅提升，具备跨领域能力、在 多个方面媲美甚至超越人类的、更强大的AI被提上日程。 人们常将之命名为"通用人工智能（AGI）" 。 各国高度重视AGI。2023年4月28日中共中央政治局会议提出："要重视通用人工智能发展"；英国《国家 人工智能战略》 （2021 ） 对AGI进行了专门强调，指出"必须认真对待A ...

策略周观点：一季报全行业业绩综述 20250511 摘要 • 上周市场受关税扰动及政策事件催化影响显著，板块走势分化。本周持震 荡观点，关税问题仍存变数，主要宽基指数已补上 4 月 7 日缺口，企业盈 利影响已被定价反映，但实际关税问题尚未完全解决，因此需保持谨慎态 度。 • 配置方面，建议维持泛科技、内需及红利组合。公募基金新规要求连续三 年业绩跑赢基准 10 个点以上的基金扣减管理费，将引导资金向基准指数 配置，利好沪深 300 或大市值风格，以及金融、公用事业、消费等公募欠 配行业。 • 长期来看，类平准基金有利于大市值股票，尤其是沪深 300 指数，加大险 资入市也利好红利风格。衍生品市场显示市场观望情绪和政策托底共同作 用下的低波动状态，推荐股票市场采用哑铃型配置，即红利加科技板块。 • 当前更偏好港股，因关税缓和窗口期内港股对外部变化弹性更大，资金面 从 4 月下旬开始转为净流入，内需消费、科技及红利板块在港股市场相关 公司质地更优。不看好美股，因美股处于降息预期不低但衰退预期不高的 状态，二季度压力较大。 Q&A 请您介绍一下 A 股、港股和海外市场在过去一周的表现及主要影响因素。 上周市场的主 ...
