同样是在这份调研报告中，高达85.53%的受访者对AI可能对自己的就业带来冲击表示担忧，甚至67.57%的受访者认为替代进程将在未来五年内发生。 出品 | 虎嗅科技组 人类会被AI替代吗？ 但另一方面，与这种焦虑和替代担忧相对应的是，大多数人也并不否认AI在提升效率上的优势，尽管存在焦虑，但仍对AI的长期社会效益持有一种乐观态 度。 在一份覆盖国内11814名职场受访者的调研报告（长江商学院张晓萌教授领导力与行为心理研究中心出品）中，一组数据显示，"重度AI替代担忧者的抑郁比 例高达34.13%，远高于经济衰退焦虑群体"，这表明，AI冲击对职场人心理健康的负面影响甚至要强于经济衰退。 既焦虑，又乐观。这似乎是一个矛盾。 在长江商学院教授张晓萌看来，这看似不可调和的矛盾背后，存在着一个重要的调节变量，即你是否真的知道AI是什么？大多数时候，人类的恐惧往往来 自于未知，当你勇于直面，认知达到一种程度的时候，悲观恐惧就会被乐观取代。 张晓萌长期持续从事职场人心理健康方面的研究，在观察到AI对职场人的心理健康产生的影响后，带领团队调研并撰写《生成式人工智能与职场心理健康 研究报告》，探讨了AI对职场人士的就业冲击、心 ...

虽然人工智能（AI）PC市场能否起飞还存疑，但面对关税的冲击，微软无疑想抓住机会抢夺市场份额，最新推出的Surface电脑既有AI模 型加持，又悄然降价。 美东时间5月6日周二，微软发布了Surface系列的两款新Copilot+ PC，售价较去年推出的前代更低、电池续航更长，但核心配置有所缩水。 媒体认为，微软在特朗普宣布新征关税后推出新品，显示微软正试图通过降低价格吸引消费者。Raymond James的分析师Andrew Marok指 出，市场对AI PC的需求仍然有限，因为其增值价值尚不明确。尽管如此，随着Windows 10支持将于10月结束，微软的设备更新有望搭上 企业升级的顺风车。 新设备：更小更轻薄，价格更亲民 AI功能成卖点 市场接受度仍是问题 这两款设备都被归类为Copilot+ PC，配备能够执行每秒45万亿次操作、即45 TOPS的NPU（神经网络处理单元），能够在不依赖互联网的 情况下运行AI模型。用户可以使用有争议的Recall功能记住屏幕上之前显示的内容、增强的文件搜索和其他基于AI的功能。 参与Windows Insider计划的用户将能够尝试设置应用中的AI代理，该代理可以响 ...

（原标题：韩企业界呼吁AI引领的产业变革和新经济增长模式） 据韩国《国民日报》4月29日发表社论称，在当前形势下，韩国企业界呼吁提高AI竞争力，引领产 业变革，推动经济增长模式转型。 提高AI竞争力，拓宽经济视野，已经不单是一个意识形态问题，它还关系着我们的生存。因此， 下届政府上台后必须首先与企业沟通，制定开创性的产业政策。 显而易见，韩国经济易受外部环境影响。比如，在关税政策影响下，4月1-20日，韩对美出口同比 下降14.3%；国际货币基金组织（IMF）近期下调韩国今年的经济增长率至1.0%，推迟了韩国人均GDP 达到4万美元的预期时间等等。此外，韩国还面临全球最严重的低出生率和人口老龄化问题，如果出口 受阻，经济增长就更遥遥无期。企业界呼吁将"提高AI竞争力"作为首要战略，正是基于以上考虑。 企业界表示，必须通过AI引领实现经济增长模式转型，但如何选择和布局是关键。首先应聚焦韩 国先进的制造业上，出口受阻的替代方案也必不可少。大韩商工会议所会长崔泰源近期提出"通过韩流 增强软实力"等观点。如何尽早迈入人均GDP4万美元门槛，结束经济低迷期，听听一线企业的声音很有 必要。 从2024年的数据来看，韩国经 ...
