达沃斯科技CEO展现AI全球扩张愿景
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2026-01-28 14:39
在达沃斯世界经济论坛上,当代表们不在讨论唐纳德·特朗普时,他们正被人工智能的前景所震撼。 在瑞士阿尔卑斯山小镇的主街上,几乎每个店面都临时贴上了科技公司的霓虹标语,或是承诺告诉高管 如何将AI融入业务的咨询公司广告。Cloudflare的木质镶板总部敦促代表们"连接、保护并共同构建", 而Wipro则高呼:"梦想解决证明重复"。 在会议上,科技CEO们阐述了他们对AI物理表现形式在未来几年如何覆盖世界的希望。微软首席执行 官萨提亚·纳德拉向专注的观众讲述了"Token工厂"(他对数据中心的称呼)如何必须分布在世界各地, 以在全球范围内传播AI的好处。 "对我来说,一个长期的、可扩展的解决方案是让所有这些Token工厂成为真实经济的一部分,连接到电 网,连接到电信网络——这就是推动规模化的因素,无论是在全球南方,还是在发达国家,"纳德拉 说。 与此同时,谷歌正在向兴奋的代表们展示其谷歌眼镜的最新迭代产品;在达沃斯会议中心有无数关于这 项技术潜在好处的会议——包括与临时加入议程的埃隆·马斯克进行的激动人心的聊天,不过由于 SpaceXIPO似乎即将到来,他最热衷于谈论前往火星的话题。 然而,在华丽的店面之外,有人 ...
