Core Viewpoint - The consumer finance industry is undergoing significant changes due to new regulations, leading to a compression of profit margins.

"我信仰的是人，不是 AI。" 在最近一场与钛媒体的对话中，这句看似简单却极不妥协的话，是李飞飞反复强调的核心立场：技术再先进，也不能替代人类自身的价值和责任。 李飞飞提出，当前 AI 的发展不能仅停留在语言和感知层面，它必须迈向更深层的空间智能——让机器能够理解、推理并与三维世界互动，而不是停留在 二维符号处理的表层。 她认为，这种能力的突破不是简单的技术堆叠，而是让 AI 能够真正"理解世界"的基本能力。 李飞飞不会回避 AI 的优势，但更担忧公众对技术的误读和过激叙事。 在她看来，当下围绕 AI 的讨论中存在从"末日论"到"乌托邦论"的极端观点，这既可能误导公众认知，也让有意义、务实的讨论变得更加困难。 对她而言，技术进步带来的，不仅是效率提升和产业变迁，更是对教育体系、社会结构乃至人类潜力的深刻挑战。 这正是她如此关注教育变革的原因。在她看来，传统的教育方法已经无法应对 AI 时代学生真正需要培养的能力——好奇心、批判性思维、创造力和空间 想象力。 "AI就是工具，工具就是双刃剑……我们对其他工具的期待，永远不是说让这个工具去 figure out （弄明白）要做什么，这是人类的责任。" 这不仅是对 ...

Arya 依然保持乐观，认为当前的投入既具有"进攻性"，也具有"防御性"。换言之，科技巨头别无选 择，必须投资以守住他们现有的商业帝国。 Arya特别提到，英伟达就像是在"另一个星系"中运营。年初至今，英伟达股价已累计上涨超40%，过高 的估值令部分投资者"望而却步"。 12月25日，美国银行分析师Vivek Arya表示，人工智能（AI）热潮并未降温，反而正在进一步扩大。 尽管一些AI怀疑论者认为过高的估值是回避该板块的理由，但Arya认为，这一行业仍处在为期十年的 结构性变革"中点"，而这场变革是由英伟达和博通引领的。 Arya在题为《2026年展望：颠簸但仍充满希望》的报告中预计，明年全球半导体销售额将同比增长 30%，这将最终推动该行业首次突破具有里程碑意义的1万亿美元年销售额。 Arya指出，他尤其看好那些"护城河可以通过利润率结构量化"的公司。除英伟达和博通外，他还将泛林 集团、科磊、亚德诺以及铿腾电子列为2026年的首选标的。 "我经常说，投资半导体其实很简单，"Arya在12月19日电话会议上表示，"你根本不需要卖方分析师。 只要把所有公司按毛利率排序，买前五名，基本不会错得太离谱。" 美银预 ...
