疾速施政：行政命令重塑权力格局引争议 4月29日是特朗普就任美国第47任总统的第100天。执政百天以来，从内政到外交，从经济到民生，特朗 普政府的每一项政策，都让美国社会在短短几个月内，感受到了剧烈的冲击。 央视记者 许弢：首先在内政方面。根据《华盛顿邮报》的统计，特朗普在百日内签署了近一百四十项 行政命令，这些命令覆盖能源、教育、移民、贸易等多个领域，迅速重塑了联邦政府的架构和运行模 式。但其中多项政策遭到广泛批评，包括加速大规模驱逐移民，大幅削减医疗、社保、高校和基础科研 等领域拨款，隐性剥夺少数族裔权利等。 央视记者 许弢：布鲁金斯学会专家、前克林顿政府官员伊莱恩·卡马克指出，缺乏国会立法支撑的行政 命令虽然推进速度快，但政策基础相对脆弱，很多可能难以在特朗普离任后长期延续。 央视记者 许弢：而在国际舞台上，特朗普大幅调整了美国的外交策略，强调"美国优先"，大幅加征关 税，削减对外援助，同时与传统盟友的关系趋于冷淡。 央视记者 许弢：路透社指出，这种激进的单边主义路线，正在重塑全球力量格局。特朗普还曾承诺上 任后"24小时内结束俄乌冲突"，但和平谈判现在还没有取得进展。在美国《时代》周刊25日发表的采访 ...

我非常相信这一天将很快会来临，相比于依靠人类来处理工作，AI 的优势是不知劳累、不需要休息、没有时间限制，它可以一天 24 小时，一年 365 天不 间断的工作。 这其实已经在一些领域发生了，只不过暂时覆盖的还不多，我们对其感知没那么明显。随着 AI 的能力特别是 AI Agent 以及自动驾驶技术的快速发展，我 觉得这种改变会对人类社会的方方面面都带来巨大变革。 Konstantine Buhler 说，在实现全面通用人工智能（AGI）之前，混合型的 Agent/人类系统将消除经济中的时间摩擦，并创造新的机会。 当人们谈论人工智能时，话题往往在即时应用与遥远未来的通用人工智能（AGI）之间摇摆。但其实，中间地带也极其重要，值得我们关注。在接下来的 5 到 7 年内，AI 将通过在各行业实现"永续运转（Always-On）"，重塑并加速我们的经济。这场变革并非理论假设，在某些行业中，它已经在发生，为我 们描绘出近未来的蓝图。 当前现状：永续运转的孤岛 未来已经到来，只是分布尚不均匀。已有多个行业通过 AI 实现了"永续运转"： 在发表了《 使用数据（Usage）才是 AI 时代的护城河 》之后，红杉资本合伙人 ...
