在AI时代,领导者更需要一门“2000年前的能力”
Jing Ji Guan Cha Wang· 2026-02-13 07:42
当前围绕AI的讨论,多集中在"幻觉""偏见""事实错误"等问题。这些确实需要管理机制加以控制,但本质上属于技术与流程层面的挑战。 真正属于战略层面的风险在于: 当一个问题本身设定错误时,AI依然可以给出100%逻辑自洽、事实准确的答案。 本文作者为IE大学教授Rubén Montoya González 当"如何更快"成为企业共识,"为什么要做"反而变得稀缺。 生成式人工智能的迅速普及,正在重塑企业决策方式。市场分析、战略规划、营销方案,几秒钟内即可生成;逻辑严密、数据翔实、表达流畅。围绕AI展 开的"效率竞赛",成为企业数字化转型的核心议题。 然而,在这场竞赛背后,一个更深层的风险正逐渐显现—— 企业越来越擅长获得"正确答案",却未必在提出"正确问题"。 警惕"完美逻辑"的误导 人工智能本质上是概率模型,是优化工具。它可以在既定条件下计算最优路径,却无法判断前提是否合理,也无法理解决策背后的价值取向。 换言之,AI可以告诉企业"怎么做",却无法回答"为什么做"。 在效率导向和KPI压力驱动下,企业决策流程中的"质疑""争论""犹豫"正在被视为低效的摩擦。但恰恰是这种摩擦,构成了战略判断的必要条件。 当优化工 ...

AI普惠元年,重思人文价值
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2025-12-30 06:40
郭英剑 2025年被普遍视为AI从"精英工具"走向"普遍可用"的关键一年。随着大模型成本下降、开源化加速以及 生成式技术深度进入教育、文化与知识生产领域,AI正以前所未有的方式重塑人类的语言实践、认知 结构与价值判断。在这一背景下,围绕AI的讨论长期由技术与产业逻辑主导,而对其人文影响的系统 反思明显不足。在人类全面进入"智能共处"阶段之后,人文学科亟须从能力竞争转向价值重估,重新确 立其公共责任与时代使命。 美国《时代》杂志将"AI的架构者"评为2025年年度人物,其意义并不在于对某项具体技术的褒奖,而在 于它确认了一个事实:AI已经从实验室与产业前沿,进入了塑造人类经验的核心地带。这一年,围绕 AI的主流讨论,往往集中在效率、成本、竞争优势等层面。然而,2025年的现实已经清楚地表明,AI 带来的最深刻影响,并不止于经济与产业结构,还有对人类经验结构的重塑。 那些以问题意识为起点、以历史纵深为支撑、以价值判断为核心的人文学术,依然难以被算法所取代。 这类研究并不以文本数量或形式复杂性为目标,而强调对具体情境的理解、对思想传统的反思,以及对 现实问题的规范性回应。它们所依赖的,并非信息处理能力,而是研究者对 ...
郭英剑:AI普惠元年,重思人文价值
Huan Qiu Wang Zi Xun· 2025-12-29 23:26
Core Insights - 2025 is viewed as a pivotal year for AI transitioning from an "elite tool" to "widely available," reshaping human language practices, cognitive structures, and value judgments [1] - The mainstream discussion around AI is often focused on efficiency, cost, and competitive advantage, but its most profound impact extends beyond economic and industrial structures to the reconfiguration of human experience [1] Group 1: Impact on Humanities - Generative AI is challenging the traditional relationship between language and human subjectivity, as it can now perform complex language production, affecting how humans learn, express, and think [2] - The humanities are experiencing a defensive position, with concerns about being replaced by AI while simultaneously striving to prove their irreplaceability [2] - AI's ability to efficiently conduct literature reviews and style mimicry exposes the over-technicalization and formalization of certain humanities practices, prompting a reflection on whether the focus has shifted from studying "humans" to merely repeating discourse mechanisms [2] Group 2: Structural Crisis in Humanities - AI accelerates the revelation of existing divisions within the humanities, which were previously obscured by institutional evaluation systems and habitual discourse [2] - Research that begins with problem awareness, historical depth, and value judgment remains difficult for algorithms to replace, emphasizing the importance of understanding specific contexts and responding normatively to real-world issues [3] - The hollowing out of humanities practices that rely heavily on established paradigms and templates becomes evident as AI can easily replicate their operations [3] Group 3: Reevaluation of Humanities - The humanities must shift from "knowledge production" to "meaning judgment," from "text-centered" to "experience, history, and ethics-centered," and from "method-first" to "problem-awareness first" [4] - AI can generate language but cannot bear the responsibilities that come with it, nor can it truly experience human emotions or confront ultimate issues like death and justice [4] - The true test for the humanities in the age of AI is not whether they will be replaced, but whether they can still address fundamental questions about humanity [4]
