这些企业迄今尚未严重依赖债务融资，可能会降低当AI市场情绪转变时，通过信贷市场向 经济体传导更广泛风险的程度。 不过他也警示，AI行业的杠杆率可能会上升，一旦AI情绪转变，损失也会增加。他将密切关注这一发 展趋势。 美联储副主席Philip Jefferson表示，当前人工智能相关股票的涨势不太可能重演上世纪90年代末互联网 泡沫破裂的情形，主要原因在于AI企业已建立起实际盈利能力，且金融体系保持稳健。 周五，Jefferson在克利夫兰联储会议上发表讲话称，与当年投机性质浓厚的互联网公司不同，当前AI相 关企业是成熟企业，拥有相对成熟且在增长的盈利来源。他指出： Jefferson强调，AI行业迄今对债务融资的依赖有限。 他认为，这种有限的杠杆使用"可能会降低当AI市场情绪转变时，通过信贷市场向更广泛经济体传导风 险的程度"。 然而，未来的趋势值得警惕。Jefferson援引一些分析师的预测称，未来对AI基础设施的投资将需要更 多债务融资。 AI企业有盈利，估值更低 Jefferson详细阐述了当前AI热潮与互联网泡沫时代的三个关键区别。 首先，也是最核心的区别在于企业的基本面。他指出，与90年代末许多仅凭 ...
