高盛合伙人Rich Privorotsky警告称，一场由人工智能驱动的"创造性破坏"正实时席卷全球各行业，本质上这是一次对企业护城河的全面检验。 从上周软件行业遭遇冲击，到本周初先是保险和财富管理类股，下半周则轮到房地产服务类和物流板块。AI最初被视为对股市的利好因素，但现 在正在激进地检验哪些企业真正具有可防御的竞争优势。 "先卖出、后提问"的情绪在市场扩散，抛售速度加快，但除了AI担忧外并无明确催化剂。高盛合伙人Rich Privorotsky认为这是一次护城河检查： 企业的业务是否能抵御技术冲击？如果有一支机器人大军，能否颠覆现有企业？企业是否必须竞相投入或收购，否则就会被取代？ Privorotsky进一步强调，需警惕美国各大股指中的CTA（商品交易顾问）触发信号。高盛目前估计，CTA将在未来一周内抛售价值15亿至20亿美 元的美国股票。 软件板块估值承压 Rich Privorotsky认为，AI不仅没让大家躺赢，反而正在让那些想在经济里"躺平吃利息"的人无处遁形。 在许多曾被认为存在护城河的领域，技术进步正迅速瓦解那些建立在经验和知识工作之上的堡垒，新进入者对现有企业构成快速挑战。 而一旦AI担忧 ...
