億萬富翁馬克·貝尼奧夫質疑AI領域:「對我們來說,什麼更重要?增長還是我們的孩子?」

(SeaPRwire) -   想像一下1996年的情景:你打開需要幾分鐘才能啟動的桌上型電腦,聽著數據機連接全球資訊網時發出的節奏性尖嘯與嘶嘶聲。你瀏覽到一個笨拙的留言板—比如AOL或Prodigy—討論你最喜歡的嗜好,從豆豆娃到最新的混音帶。 當時,一項名為「」的鮮為人知的法律剛剛獲得通過。這項當時僅26個單詞的法律奠定了現代網際網路的基礎。它旨在保護管理網站的「善意撒瑪利亞人」免受監管,將內容責任歸於個人用戶而非主機公司。 如今,儘管網際網路技術有了飛躍性發展,且受到批評者(現今包括「」CEO馬克·貝尼奧夫)的反對,這項法律基本上仍維持不變。  週二在瑞士達沃斯舉行的「新增長從何而來?」對談中,貝尼奧夫抨擊《230條款》,表示這項法律讓科技巨頭無需為人工智慧與社群媒體帶來的危險承擔責任。 「美國像《230條款》這類法律需要重新制定,因為這些科技公司不會為他們對我們家庭造成的傷害負責,」貝尼奧夫在圓桌對談中表示。這場對談的與會者還包括Axa CEO湯瑪斯·布貝爾、「」總裁露絲·波拉特、阿聯酋政府官員哈爾敦·哈利法·阿勒·穆巴拉克,以及彭博記者弗朗辛·拉克瓦。 貝尼奧夫表示,隨著「」的美國兒童登錄人工智慧與社群媒體平台,這項立法威脅到兒童與家庭的安全。這位億萬富翁問道:「對我們來說,什麼更重要?增長還是我們的孩子?什麼更重要?增長還是我們的家庭?或者,什麼更重要?增長還是我們社會的核心價值觀?」 《230條款》作為科技公司的護身符 科技公司在處理用戶傷害問題時,已援引《230條款》作為法律辯護,包括2019年的Force訴Facebook案,其中「」表示該平台無需為哈馬斯成員的連接算法承擔責任—此前這項恐怖組織利用該平台在以色列煽動謀殺。這項法律可能會保護科技公司免於承擔人工智慧平台帶來的傷害責任,包括深偽技術的製作與人工智慧生成的性虐待材料。 貝尼奧夫自2019年以來一直是《230條款》的直言批評者,並「」廢除該立法。  近年來,隨著民主黨與共和黨對該立法越發懷疑,《230條款》受到越來越多的公眾審視。2019年,唐納德·特朗普總統領導下的司法部「」對《230條款》進行廣泛審查。2020年5月,特朗普總統「」一項行政命令,限制科技平台的豁免權—此前「」對他的推文添加了事實核查。2023年,美國最高法院聽取了「」的陳述,但基於其他理由做出裁決,維持《230條款》的完整性。 在2025年12月接受採訪時,「」對人工智慧相關的「監管框架」(無論是否實施)表示擔憂。他指出,汽車剛發明時,限速與駕駛執照的實施花了一段時間。如今面對人工智慧,「我們有了技術,正在制定規範,但那種『嘿,我們就放手不管』的想法,我覺得真的很糟糕。」 安東尼補充道,豁免平台責任的決定「我覺得對世界沒有好處。不幸的是,我認為我們在人工智慧方面又犯了同樣的錯誤。」 對貝尼奧夫來說,廢除《230條款》的鬥爭不僅僅是推動監管科技公司,更是將優先事項重新導向安全,而非無限制增長。「在這個驚人增長的時代,我們沉迷於增長,」貝尼奧夫說。「讓我們確保利用這個時刻也記住,我們同樣重視價值觀。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

川普或於達沃斯宣布Jerome Powell繼任者:認識Fed主席四大熱門人選

(SeaPRwire) -   在例行的專題討論和更引人注目的地緣政治辯論佔據頭條之際,於瑞士達沃斯舉行的年度世界經濟論壇正上演著一場高風險戲碼:誰將成為美國聯邦儲備委員會(Fed)的下一任主席,以及以何種條件上任。 美國總統川普即將宣布誰應在傑羅姆·鮑威爾於五月任期結束後領導聯準會,據財政部長史考特·貝森特表示,外界日益猜測他可能在本週三的達沃斯演講中公布人選。儘管川普數週來一直聲稱他已確定人選,但他已將通常穩重的確認程序變成了一場政治大戲——一些分析師將其比作《誰是接班人》式的揭曉方式。這場始於作秀的風波,如今已演變成司法部、參議院成員以及緊張不安的金融市場之間全面的制度對峙,各方都在剖析關於下一任聯準會主席是傾向鴿派還是鷹派的每一個線索。 這場尋覓過程已被司法部對主席鮑威爾的一項調查打亂,該調查聚焦於聯準會總部的裝修工程。鮑威爾已公開譴責此調查是政治恐嚇的「」,這一觀點也得到了跨黨派的前聯準會主席聯盟以及現任共和黨參議員們的呼應。北卡羅來納州參議員湯姆·提利斯已暗示可能採取阻撓策略,誓言在司法部的調查完全解決之前,將反對任何提名人選。此舉可能使川普的提名人選甚至無法進入全院表決,至少在可預見的未來是如此。 凱文·哈西特的崛起與失勢 在過去一年的大部分時間裡,國家經濟委員會主任凱文·哈西特似乎是理所當然的繼任者。作為共和黨經濟政策制定的老將以及2017年稅改的關鍵設計師,哈西特在共和黨立法者和聯準會官員中都享有信譽。 然而,他在川普政府內部的顯赫地位已成為一種負擔。哈西特已成為白宮最顯眼的經濟訊息傳遞者之一,經常在電視上為政府政策辯護。川普上週五表示,他很擅長那份吃力不討好的工作,而總統擔心在該職位上「失去他」。 「我是說,等一下,如果我調動他,這些聯準會的人,特別是我們現在這位,他們不太多說話,」川普在白宮一場活動中對記者說道,然後轉向在聽眾席上的哈西特說:「我會失去你。這對我來說是個嚴重的顧慮。」 有分析認為,此舉反映了政府務實的算計;考慮到圍繞鮑威爾調查的惡劣環境,哈西特與總統密切的政治聯繫可能使他難以獲得決心重申聯準會制度獨立性的參議院銀行委員會的認可。 然而,市場對可能失去一位明確的聯準會鴿派感到不滿,10年期公債殖利率在上週五觸及四個月高點。 最初的「中央選角」人選:凱文·瓦爾許 隨著哈西特的道路變窄,注意力越來越多地轉回到凱文·瓦爾許身上,他是一位前聯準會理事,曾在2008年金融危機期間領導強制接管和紓困行動,後來因量化寬鬆政策(即聯準會創造資金購買債券以推低利率)與時任主席班·柏南克公開發生分歧。 瓦爾許被市場廣泛視為「獨立候選人」,對通膨持鷹派立場,對政治壓力持懷疑態度,且在制度上正統。鮑威爾調查變得越惡劣,瓦爾許在急於重申聯準會信譽的參議員中的吸引力就越大。他在2017年曾是最後與鮑威爾角逐聯準會主席的人選,當時川普曾稱讚他的英俊外貌,但最終因其相對年輕而未被選中。在川普的第二任期,瓦爾許不僅已55歲,而且他的主要信條變得更為流行。他著名的口號「通膨是一種選擇」,指的是他認為聯準會升息是因為經濟「成長過快」和工人「薪資過高」,而非由於真正的通膨。他多年來一直警告,政府38兆美元的債務正在影響聯準會的決策,激勵其將利率人為地維持在低水平以降低償債成本。如今許多經濟學家和政治家認為,瓦爾許的觀點可能對市場以及他潛在的聯準會理事同僚來說是可接受的。 較低調的選項:克里斯多福·華勒 但如果瓦爾許也被認為過於政治化,川普可能會轉向一個較低調的選項,克里斯多福·華勒。作為一位現任聯準會理事,以預測準確著稱,華勒被許多人視為技術官僚式的備選方案:政治曝光度較低、較不兩極化,且可能更容易獲得確認。當一群執行長在耶魯大學的一場活動中進行即時投票,詢問他們希望誰擔任聯準會主席時,81%的人選擇了華勒。 這很可能是因為華勒一直主張進一步降息,同時他背後缺乏關於聯準會獨立性重要性的學術研究,這反而可以保護他免受被政治俘虜的指控。這種在夾縫中求生存的能力現在比以往任何時候都更重要。 黑馬:瑞克·瑞德 如果川普宣布BlackRock高管瑞克·瑞德為黑馬人選,市場可能會歡欣鼓舞。作為最終名單上唯一沒有聯準會經驗的人(這一點在政府內部被視為優勢),瑞德作為全球固定收益首席投資官,管理著2.4兆美元的債券。他也公開呼籲降低中性利率,認為人工智慧的進步將具有通縮效應,而聯準會當前的挑戰是避免「勞動力市場坑洞」。 隨著達沃斯峰會的開始,焦點仍然集中在「兩位凱文」身上,以及這項即將來臨、將定義川普時代後期美國經濟的決定。 接下來會發生什麼 如果川普確實利用他在達沃斯的演講來提名傑羅姆·鮑威爾的繼任者,該人選仍需要通過參議院銀行委員會的審核,才能進入全院表決。如果司法部的調查沒有解決,川普可能無法讓任何人通過銀行委員會中支持鮑威爾的共和黨聯盟這一關。 但投資者押注鮑威爾不會被起訴,而顯然主導此調查的司法部官員珍妮·皮羅已略微軟化立場,她在社群媒體上寫道,此事只是鮑威爾回應司法部「接觸」的問題。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

歐洲領袖致川普簡訊 語氣與格陵蘭議題上的劍拔弩張大相逕庭

(SeaPRwire) -   儘管歐洲公開反擊美國總統在格陵蘭問題上的立場,但檯面下的言辭似乎較為溫和。 川普週二公布了他收到法國總統的訊息,馬克宏辦公室證實其為真跡。 以「我的朋友」開頭,馬克宏的語氣比法國及其部分歐洲夥伴國家公開批評川普試圖從北約盟友丹麥手中奪取格陵蘭的言論更為恭敬。 在觸及格陵蘭議題之前,馬克宏選擇在訊息中先談論其他他與川普似乎大致看法一致的議題。 「我們在敘利亞問題上完全一致。我們可以在伊朗問題上做大事,」這位法國領導人用英文寫道。 接著,他補充說:「我不明白你在格陵蘭做什麼,」並立即接著寫道:「讓我們試著做些大事。」 這是馬克宏在川普公布的兩段訊息中,唯一提及這塊丹麥半自治領土的地方。從川普的貼文中無法立即得知他何時收到這則訊息。 川普打破傳統 世界領導人之間的私人訊息很少逐字公開——這使他們能夠公開展現一種面貌,私下對彼此又是另一種面貌。 但川普——正如他在多個領域的一貫作風——將傳統和外交禮節拋諸腦後,並在此過程中,揭開了通常不為人知的內幕。 本週,發給挪威總理的訊息也公諸於世,由挪威政府發布並獲白宮證實。 在其中,川普將他對格陵蘭的強硬立場與去年決定不授予他諾貝爾和平獎聯繫起來。 訊息寫道:「考慮到貴國決定不因我阻止了8場戰爭(外加其他貢獻)而授予我諾貝爾和平獎,我不再覺得有義務純粹考慮和平。」 訊息總結道:「除非我們完全且徹底控制格陵蘭,否則世界不會安全。」 週二,川普還公布了一則來自北約秘書長馬克·呂特的奉承訊息,該聯盟也證實其真實性。 「我致力於在格陵蘭問題上找到前進的道路,」呂特寫道。「等不及要見你。你的,馬克。」 儘管對川普威脅「收購」該島及其對北約盟友丹麥領土完整意味著什麼的擔憂日益加劇,呂特一直拒絕公開談論格陵蘭問題。上週被追問川普對格陵蘭的企圖以及丹麥警告任何美國軍事行動可能意味著北約的終結時,呂特說:「我永遠無法對此發表評論。在公開場合那是不可能的。」 馬克宏與川普的關係 馬克宏喜歡說他可以隨時打電話給川普。去年九月,他在紐約街頭打電話給總統,證明瞭這一點,他告訴川普警察正在攔住他,以便讓一支貴賓車隊通過。 「什麼?我現在在街上等著,因為一切都為你凍結了!」馬克宏在鏡頭拍攝這一場景時說道。 可以肯定的是,馬克宏現在一定知道——在川普任內一年後——發給川普的私人訊息總有被公開的風險。 馬克宏週二表示,當記者問及此事時,他對訊息的公布「沒有特別反應」。 「我為我所做的一切負責。我的習慣是保持外在言論與私下行為一致。就這樣。」 然而,馬克宏公開與私下形象的差異仍然顯著。 同時接待俄羅斯與烏克蘭 最引人注目的是,這位法國領導人在給川普的訊息中表示,他願意邀請烏克蘭和俄羅斯的代表參加本週晚些時候在巴黎舉行的一次會議——這是馬克宏未曾公開表達過的想法。 馬克宏建議,俄羅斯人可以「在邊緣場合」接待,這暗示了在法國也以軍事和其他支持力挺烏克蘭對抗俄羅斯總統普丁入侵的同時,邀請莫斯科代表可能帶來的潛在尷尬。 馬克宏寫道,會議還可以包括「丹麥人、敘利亞人」以及G7國家——其中包括美國。 法國總統補充道:「讓我們週四在你返回美國前,一起在巴黎共進晚餐。」 然後他簡單地以「艾曼紐」署名。 示好僅此而已 儘管馬克宏在川普的兩個任期內持續努力不去惹惱他,但任何回報最多也只能說是好壞參半。 川普週一得知,儘管收到了邀請,馬克宏無意加入川普將成立的新機構來監督加薩和平計畫的執行,他對此感到惱怒。 「嗯,沒人想要他,因為他很快就會下台了,」川普告訴記者,儘管這位法國領導人在2027年第二個也是最後一個任期結束前,還有超過一年的任期。 「我會對他的葡萄酒和香檳徵收200%的關稅,然後他就會加入,」川普說。 ___ 布魯塞爾的Lorne Cook、巴黎的Sylvie Corbet和達沃斯的Kostya Manenkov亦有貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

深入達沃斯昂貴的權力俱樂部:為何高管每年花費高達100萬美元換取入場權

(SeaPRwire) -   本周,全球商界、经济界和政界的名流汇聚瑞士阿尔卑斯山的一个小镇达沃斯。但这并非普通的滑雪之旅:他们正参加世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)的年会,这是一个仅限受邀参加的年度盛会,汇聚了世界上最具影响力的人物。 其排他性不仅在于仅限世界经济论坛成员参加,还在于其高昂的费用。虽然有多种入会和参与级别,但一些公司为获得主要赞助权会花费高达100万美元。例如,和 是美国公司中为赞助一个达沃斯场地而花费巨资的公司之一,该场地将作为美国政府官员的驻地,以迎接总统唐纳德·特朗普的到访。 其他高管和公司每年支付巨额的五位数和六位数美元,以确保在达沃斯最 the exclusive club 中获得宝贵的一席之地,他们押注在阿尔卑斯山几天的时间能够转化为交易、影响力和品牌曝光,从而证明其成本是合理的。 参加达沃斯需要多少费用 虽然一些世界经济论坛的会员资格可以获得非常基础的专业套餐,但这并不能让你接近达沃斯。世界经济论坛的正式企业套餐——加上一项费用——才是进入这个令人垂涎的阿尔卑斯山度假胜地的入场券。 根据 和 的说法,公司的年度会员费通常从约75,000美元起,最高可达758,000美元,用于“战略合作伙伴”。 这些级别通常允许公司派遣有限数量的高管参加达沃斯,但每位代表还需要单独支付徽章费。据报道,截至2025年,精英徽章的费用高达35,000美元。这些费用仅仅是入场费,还不包括机票、住宿、酒水和食物(即使是那里的一顿简餐)。对于一个派出小型高管团队的大型跨国公司来说,一旦将会员费、徽章费和差旅费计算在内,参加达沃斯很容易就会花费六位数。 钱能买到什么 尽管如此,花费这些钱对于达沃斯与会者获得的准入机会来说可能是值得的。与会者可以参加官方的达沃斯项目,其中包括与国家元首的会议、关于从人工智能到气候等主题的小型小组讨论,以及进入“社群”的权限,例如行业理事会和区域委员会。 付费更高的与会者可以获得更多的曝光机会和与高级官员接触的机会。他们可以获得参加小组讨论的机会、受邀参加闭门圆桌会议,以及与政府官员和500强企业高管之间的小型、有主持的讨论。一些公司还付费以获得私人会议室、品牌酒店休息室和礼宾服务的机会。 此外,达沃斯与会者还需要支付酒店和公寓的费用,而这些在小小的瑞士城镇中非常有限。在旺季(即1月份会议期间),达沃斯酒店的一晚住宿可能高达数千美元。 许多知名高管入住 ,该酒店被宣传为拥有健康中心、私人健身房、按摩浴缸、全套服务人员和私人厨师的 。其他费用包括私人助理、活动管理和机场接送。 今年的达沃斯有哪些人? 每年1月,约有3000名代表参加达沃斯论坛,其中包括政治领导人、中央银行行长、企业高管、学者、活动家和文化界人士。 今年参加达沃斯的最大牌人物之一是总统唐纳德·特朗普,他将于周三发表演讲。美国国务卿马克·鲁比奥和财政部长斯科特·贝森特也预计将出席。特朗普预计将讨论住房市场改革、格陵兰岛以及“和平委员会”,这是一个由特朗普主持的美国提议的新国际机构,旨在监督冲突后的重建工作,首先从加沙开始。 来自科技、金融、能源和消费品等行业的全球首席执行官将出席会议,包括摩根大通首席执行官 Jamie Dimon、Nvidia 首席执行官 Jensen Huang、Bank of America 首席执行官 Brian Moynihan 和微软首席执行官 Satya Nadella。世界经济论坛报告称,创纪录的400名顶级政治领导人,包括近65位国家元首和政府首脑,近850位世界顶级首席执行官和董事长,以及近100位领先的独角兽公司和科技先驱也将出席。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   億萬富翁聯合創辦人、摩根大通(JPMorgan)執行長傑米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)、輝達(Nvidia)老闆,以及伊隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)近年來都做出了相同預測:週工時即將縮短。他們主張,自動化將接管日常任務,釋放勞工時間,推動四天工作週成為標準。蓋茲甚至提出了... 但國際工作空間集團(International Workplace Group, IWG)執行長兼創辦人馬克·狄克森(Mark Dixon)並不買帳。從他的角度來看,經營全球最大的彈性辦公室供應商——服務122個國家超過800萬用戶,且客戶中包含85%的《財星》500大企業——數字並不合理。 「所有人都專注於生產力,所以短期內不會實現,」狄克森直白地表示。 「關鍵在於勞動成本,」狄克森向解釋。美國和英國正經歷嚴重的...危機。與此同時,企業也面臨「營運成本危機」。 「所有人都必須控制勞動成本,因為所有成本都飆漲,但你無法從客戶那裡賺更多錢,因此必須從員工身上獲得更多產出。」 本質上,企業負擔不起以相同工資僱用更少工時的員工,也無法將差額轉嫁給客戶。因此,自動化「釋放」的時間更可能被新任務填滿,而非歸還給勞工。 伊隆·馬斯克稱未來工作將成可選項目——但這位執行長表示AI可能創造更多工作,而非更少 矽谷最響亮的聲音將AI描繪為通往更多休閒的途徑。全球首富、太空探索技術公司(SpaceX)、X(原推特)老闆伊隆·馬斯克甚至預測,最快10年內,工作將完全「可選」,更像一種業餘愛好。 事實上,狄克森認為這種情況僅會發生在工作機會不足時,而非老闆突然變得仁慈。但在他看來,AI更可能創造更多——而非更少——工作。 他主張,每一次重大技術變革都遵循相似軌跡:擔心被取代,隨後機會擴張。 「AI將加速企業發展,因此會有更多工作,只是工作內容不同,」他說。 狄克森回憶,19世紀英國工業革命期間,英國紡織工人抗議新型自動化機械,擔心這威脅他們的生計、降低工資並貶低他們的技藝。這些工人被稱為勒德分子(Luddites)。 「他們遊走全國搗毀織布機以阻止進步。但看看最後,你聽說過工業革命吧?那正是來自這些織布機和工廠生產。」隨著大量生產讓商品更普及,零售業成長;需要更多經理監督機器;中產階級壯大,等等。 同樣,1980年代電腦剛問世時,也有類似的明顯恐懼。1996年的一本書詳細描述了人們擔心自己成為機器的「奴隸」,並對電腦產生敵意。 但自個人電腦(隨後是互聯網、...、社群媒體等)爆發以來,大多數職業都經歷了數位轉型——而非完全消失。 廣告文案現在使用筆記型電腦而非打字機;設計師依賴Adobe Photoshop而非紙筆;沿途還創造了大量IT職缺。 「阻止進步是不可能的,」狄克森總結。 「企業必須做企業該做的事,對即將進入職場的年輕人來說,更努力挑選正確的工作、正確的方向,學習AI等額外技能至關重要。無論你從事什麼工作,都必須擅長科技。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

歐盟領袖馮德萊恩談川普:「協議就是協議。而當朋友握手時,這必須有其意義」

(SeaPRwire) -   歐洲聯盟最高官員周二將美國總統唐納·川普的  描述為「尤其在長期盟友之間的錯誤」,並質疑川普的可信度,而法國總統伊曼紐爾·馬克龍則表示,歐盟不應猶豫使用強大工具進行報復。 歐洲委員會主席烏苏拉·馮德萊恩是在回應川普的聲明,川普表示從2月起,將對八個歐洲國家的商品徵收10%的進口稅,這些國家在川普不斷呼籲美國接管丹麥半自治領土  後採取了  措施。 「歐洲聯盟和美國去年7月已達成貿易協定,」馮德萊恩在瑞士達沃斯舉行的世界經濟論壇上表示。「無論是政治還是商業——協定就是協定。而當朋友握手時,這必須有意義。」 「我們認為美國人民不僅是我們的盟友,更是我們的朋友。而讓我們陷入螺旋式下降只會幫助那些我們雙方都致力於排除在戰略格局之外的敵人,」她補充說。 她誓言歐盟的回應「將是堅定、團結且適度的」。 川普堅稱,美國出於安全原因需要這塊領土,以對抗來自中國和俄羅斯的可能威脅。 周二早些時候,美國財政部長史考特·貝森特表示,美國與歐洲的關係依然強健,並敦促貿易夥伴「深呼吸」,讓因格陵蘭島新關稅威脅引發的緊張局勢「自行發展」。 「我認為我們的關係從未如此緊密,」他說。 但丹麥總理梅特·弗雷澤里克森在丹麥議會發言時表示:「最糟的情況可能還在後面。」她說:「我們從未尋求衝突。我們一直尋求合作。」 川普的威脅引發歐洲外交風波 這位美國領導人的威脅已在歐洲引發  ,因為各國領導人正在考慮可能的反制措施,包括報復性關稅和首次使用歐洲聯盟的反脅迫工具。 歐盟有三項主要經濟工具可用以向華盛頓施壓:新關稅、暫停美歐貿易協定,以及「貿易火箭筒」——這是歐盟反脅迫工具的非正式稱呼,該工具可制裁被發現對歐盟施加不當壓力的個人或機構。 馬克龍在達沃斯表示:「反脅迫機制是強大的工具,在當今艱難的環境中,我們不應猶豫部署它。」他反對美國強硬的貿易壓力和「不斷累積的新關稅」。 周二早些時候,川普在社交媒體上發文表示,他已與北大西洋公約組織(NATO)秘書長馬克·呂特交談。他說:「我同意在瑞士達沃斯舉行各方會議。」 法國馬克龍提議本週在巴黎舉行G7會議 川普還發布了一條來自  的簡訊,其中法國總統建議在達沃斯會議後,在巴黎舉行七大工業國集團(G7)成員會議。一位接近馬克龍的官員——按照法國總統府的慣例匿名發言——證實川普分享的訊息是真實的。 後來,川普發布了一些帶有挑釁性的偽造圖片。其中一張顯示他在標有「格陵蘭,美國領土,建於2026年」的標牌旁種植美國國旗。另一張顯示川普在橢圓形辦公室內,旁邊的地圖顯示格陵蘭和加拿大覆蓋著美國星條旗。 最近幾天緊張局勢升級的一個跡象是,  週末舉行遊行,抗議任何接管他們島嶼的企圖。 在最新的關稅威脅中,川普表示,進口稅將是對上周向格陵蘭部署象徵性數量  的報復——儘管他也暗示,他正在利用關稅作為與丹麥談判的籌碼。 呼籲歐洲變得更強大以對抗川普的威脅 丹麥歐洲事務部長稱川普的關稅威脅「極不公平」。他表示,歐洲需要變得更強大、更獨立,同時強調「沒有興趣升級貿易戰」。 「你只需注意到,我們正處於新世界秩序的邊緣,不幸的是,實力已變得至關重要,而我們看到美國對歐洲使用極其居高臨下的言辭,」瑪麗·比耶爾周二告訴丹麥公共廣播公司DK。 加州州長加文·紐森在達沃斯會議期間發言時,抨擊歐洲對川普關稅威脅的回應「可悲」且「令人尷尬」,並敦促歐洲領導人團結起來對抗美國。 「是時候認真起來,停止同謀了,」紐森告訴記者。「是時候站直腰桿,要有骨氣。」 瑞典國防部長帕爾·強森表示,周一晚上,格陵蘭的歐洲支持者考慮在北極地區建立更永久的軍事存在,以幫助保障北極地區的安全,這是美國的一項關鍵要求。 強森在與丹麥、格陵蘭和挪威的同行會談後表示,北約的歐洲成員目前「正在進行所謂的偵察之旅,以確定在基礎設施和演習等方面有哪些需求」。 在莫斯科,俄羅斯外交部長謝爾蓋·拉夫羅夫強烈否認俄羅斯和中國有威脅格陵蘭的意圖,同時還將格陵蘭描述為丹麥的「殖民收獲」。他在記者會上表示:「原則上,格陵蘭並不是丹麥的天然組成部分。」 美英因查戈斯群島引發緊張 盟友之間緊張局勢的另一個跡象是,英國政府周二為其將  主權移交給模里西斯的決定辯護,此前川普抨擊了這項計劃——而他的政府此前曾支持該計劃。 川普表示,放棄這個遙遠的印度洋群島——美國一個具有戰略重要性的海軍和轟炸機基地所在地——是愚蠢的行為,這表明他為什麼需要  。 周二,美國眾議院議長麥克·強森在英國議會向議員發表講話時表示,隨著川普因渴望接管格陵蘭而動盪跨大西洋關係,他希望「平息風波」。 強森表示,美國和英國「一直能夠像朋友一樣冷靜解決分歧。我們將繼續這樣做。」 ___ 美聯社(AP)駐巴黎記者席爾薇·科貝、駐倫敦記者吉爾·勞利斯、駐布魯塞爾記者洛恩·庫克和駐曼谷記者伊萊恩·庫爾滕巴赫對此報導有貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

傑羅姆·鮑威爾將出席最高法院就莉薩·庫克被試圖從聯邦儲備委員會解雇一案進行的口頭辯論

(SeaPRwire) -   聯邦儲備委員會主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾(Jerome Powell)將於周三出席最高法院就涉及聯邦儲備委員會理事麗莎·庫克(Lisa Cook)的聽證會口頭辯論,這是央行主席不同尋常的支持表態。 最高法院正在考慮總統唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)是否能如他所言開除庫克,這是前所未有的試圖撤換聯邦儲備委員會七名理事之一的舉動。據一位知情人士透露(該人士要求匿名),鮑威爾計劃出席最高法院周三的庭審。 這比聯邦儲備委員會主席此前對庫克的支持更為公開。但在此之前,特朗普政府曾對聯儲局,威脅要對聯儲局主席提出前所未有的刑事起訴。鮑威爾於2018年由特朗普任命擔任該職務,他似乎正在擺脫去年對特朗普多次攻擊央行的較為低調的回應,轉而採取更公開的對抗態度。 鮑威爾於1月11日發布視頻聲明,稱是特朗普試圖迫使他大幅下調聯邦儲備委員會基準利率的「藉口」。鮑威爾去年底主持了三次降息,將利率下調至約3.6%,但特朗普認為利率應低至1%,這一立場很少有經濟學家支持。 特朗普政府指控庫克涉及抵押貸款欺詐,庫克否認了這一指控。目前尚未對庫克提出任何指控。她起訴以保住自己的職位,最高法院於10月1日,允許她在法院審理其案件期間繼續留任理事會。 如果特朗普成功撤換庫克,他可以任命另一人填補她的空缺,這將使他任命的人員,並對央行在利率和銀行監管方面的決策擁有更大影響力。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Khosla 支持的 Formulary 為其 AI 驅動的私募基金管理軟體,完成超額認購的 460 萬美元種子輪融資

(SeaPRwire) -   Alfia Ilicheva 來自公開市場領域,曾在全球最大的對沖基金之一 Bridgewater 工作四年。但當她轉向私募領域,包括擔任 Apollo 支持的投資平台執行長時,她意識到了私募股權和風險投資等業務在基金行政管理方面的困難。與在 Bridgewater 可以依賴公開資訊、獲取即時準確數據不同,這個新世界充滿了手動編制、零散且容易出現人為錯誤和指標不一致的數據。她回憶當時的想法:「對沖基金如此先進,而私募資本市場卻如此落後,這怎麼可能?」 隨著私募市場爆炸性成長以及人工智慧讓自動化越來越可行,Ilicheva 看到了一個機會,為從風險投資機構到 Apollo 這樣的私募股權巨頭等所有人,打造下一代基金行政管理軟體。在最初計劃自籌資金啟動這個她命名為 Formulary 的項目後,Ilicheva 被引薦給 Khosla Ventures 的合夥人 Hari Arul,後者立即看到了這個想法的吸引力。Khosla 正在領投 Formulary 460 萬美元的種子輪融資,Ilicheva 表示此輪融資超額認購達三倍,參與者包括 Human Ventures、Serena Williams 的風險投資公司以及其他投資者。 在由 和 OpenAI 等估值巨額的公司崛起所推動的、炙手可熱的私募投資領域,基金行政管理可能不是最具吸引力的創新領域。但追蹤投資、回報和績效——並準確地將這些資訊傳達給投資者或有限合夥人——是必要的基礎。 現有的選擇分為兩類:服務方,即高接觸度的會計公司,如 SS&C 和 Citco;或軟體方,如 Carta。在 Ilicheva 進行用戶研究、訪談普通合夥人和前客戶時,她意識到幾乎所有人都對現有選項感到不滿,以至於大多數人轉向了影子基金行政管理,即他們會聘請外部公司,但同時自己保留帳簿。「當你籌集一支基金時,你的夢想是通過投資資本來創造超額回報,而不是重做別人的工作,」Ilicheva 說。 Ilicheva 計劃通過利用人工智慧來大規模擴展服務模式,在這兩種模式之間找到一個折衷方案,為其內部會計師創建軟體,她戲稱這些會計師為仿生會計師。「他們真正專注於掌握數字和提供服務,但他們不再手動將資料輸入 Excel 試算表,這在過去幾十年一直是這個行業的負擔,」她說。 當然,創建一家技術驅動的服務公司的挑戰在於規模擴張,純軟體即服務(SaaS)模式能夠以更快的速度成長。當我問及 Khosla 的 Arul 如何看待這種方法時,他表示關鍵在於透過技術交付絕大部分產品:「對於任何企業家或投資者來說,看待一項人工智慧驅動的服務業務時,重要的是要說,這項業務的營運利潤率看起來更像一家科技公司,而不是一家服務公司。」 Arul 表示,雖然 Khosla 尚未使用剛剛結束隱匿模式、正式亮相的 Formulary,但他對未來感到樂觀,屆時像確保提供給有限合夥人的數據準確性這類繁瑣流程,可以完全、可靠地自動化。Ilicheva 提到 Formulary 一個可能的未來應用場景是起草有限合夥人信件,Arul 對此表示全力支持,此外還包括一個投資者可以直接與系統溝通以了解持倉價值、資金部署和未來增資要求的入口網站。「相對於今天的現實,這聽起來有點像空中樓閣,」Arul 說,「但感覺並非遙不可及。」 Leo SchwartzX: Email: 提交交易資訊給 Term Sheet 通訊 。 Joey Abrams 策劃了今日通訊的交易部分。 。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Overview of Speeches Delivered at Launch Event for New Partnership between Honda and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One(R) Team for 2026 Season

TOKYO, Japan, Jan 20, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today held an event in Tokyo, Japan to mark the official launch of the partnership between Honda and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. Honda will participate in the FIA*1 Formula One World Championship (F1) from the 2026 season as a power unit (PU) supplier under a works partnership with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.Following is an overview of the speeches delivered at the event by the following three executives:-Toshihiro Mibe, Global CEO of Honda-Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1-Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team*1 Fédération Internationale de lʼAutomobileSpeech by Toshihiro Mibe, Global CEO of HondaSignificance and starting point of Honda F1 participationIn 1964, when Honda had only just begun selling automobiles, the company took on the challenge of participating in F1 — the world’s most prestigious automobile race series. By overcoming numerous difficulties, Honda claimed its first-ever F1 victory in the second year, at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. Since then, from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, Honda flourished in a golden era, together with Williams and McLaren. More recently, Honda has produced a number of dramatic moments, including winning the Drivers’ Championship title, together with Red Bull Racing.Honda participation in F1, the pinnacle of automobile racing, has been the embodiment of the spirit of the company founder, Soichiro Honda, who inspired Honda engineers to “commit to becoming No.1 in the world,” and to “take on the most difficult challenges.” It is also the starting point of the long-cherished approach at Honda to embrace difficult challenges. Honda engineers called up for the development team preparing for the first-ever F1 participation in 1964Mr. Soichiro Honda at the site of F1 development    (photo taken in 1966) Honda commitment to take on new challenges in the new era for F1In 2026, F1 will undergo a major change in regulations for both the chassis and PU. For the PU, the electrical power output produced by the motor and battery will be increased to roughly three times its current output, and the use of advanced sustainable fuel will be required for the engine. In other words, F1 is evolving into a next-generation motorsport that takes on the challenges of both electrification and decarbonization. Moreover, the F1 cost cap system*2 requires each PU manufacturer to pursue development efficiency to achieve the maximum results within limited development resources.In this new era of F1, Honda is positioning F1 as a symbol of challenge and innovation, and Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), the global racing arm of Honda, developed RA626H, the new PU for the 2026 season. Striving to become No.1 in the world, Honda will continue to take on challenges together with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.RA626H, new Honda F1 PU*2 A cost cap set by FIA on annual spending associated with the PU supply. A similar system exists to set a cap for annual spending by each team. Adopting new H mark and leveraging expertise of HRCMachines powered by the RA626H will bear a new H mark with a refreshed design, Honda adopted as the new symbol representing its automobile business. This new H mark symbolizes the transformation of Honda automobile business and will be used for F1 machines as well as Honda machines in various other motorsports (Honda intends to include IndyCar, Super GT, Super Formula Championship and Super Taikyu Series.)Furthermore, Honda will leverage the technologies and expertise that HRC amasses through F1 and other motorsports activities and introduce HRC-spec production models that offer further refined driving performance. This will enable Honda motorsports activities to contribute even more to the enhancement of Honda automobile business. By introducing HRC-spec models to the market, including a production model based on the Civic Type R HRC Concept, Honda will offer a broader range of customers with opportunities to feel the “joy of driving” and Honda passion and commitment to take on challenges. Honda views F1 not only as the pinnacle of automotive technology but as a place to develop its human resources. Honda engineers rigorously trained in world-class competition will return to the development of production models and create products that offer even greater joy and inspiration to its customers. 2026 season F1 car that bears new H mark2026 season F1 car that bears new H mark Applications and contributions of F1 technologies to the future of mobilityThe technologies refined in F1, such as technologies for high-efficiency combustion and thermal management; technologies in the area of high rotational speed, including high-output motors and large-sized turbochargers; as well as sustainable fuel technologies, are being applied not only to next-generation HEV and EV models but also to Honda products that enhances mobility in the skies, such as eVTOL and aircraft engines. To be more specific, expertise on sustainable fuels has already been applied to sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), as well as fuels to power eVTOLs, which are currently under study. Moreover, technologies for high-speed rotating components, such as turbos and motors, have been leveraged reciprocally for aircraft engines and F1 PUs and are being further advanced through real-world applications. This circular synergy is ongoing within Honda.Honda will leverage F1 technologies as a starting point to further facilitate technological innovation for a wide range of mobility for land, sea, skies and outer space and contribute to the advancement of mobility products and services and realization of a sustainable society.Growing popularity of F1 and determination of HondaIn recent years, thanks to broadcast partners, social media content, global streaming services and movies, the fan base for F1 racing is growing rapidly around the world with 827m global fan in 2025. Last year’s Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit saw an all-time high in the number of spectators since the circuit’s major renovation in 2009, indicating an unprecedented surge of excitement and popularity. Honda wants to share the joy of winning with the fans who have supported Honda over the years, as well as new generations of F1 and Honda fans.Starting with the 2026 season, Honda will conduct its F1 activities under a new logo representing the partnership between Honda and F1. Together with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, Honda will compete to convey the true excitement and value of taking on challenges to reach the pinnacle of the world, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support.Speech by Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1This is an exciting moment for the sport of F1, as Honda and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team join together to fight for the biggest prize of F1.Formula 1 began racing in Japan in 1976 before moving to Suzuka in 1987, so there is a deep loyalty and connection to the country where a record 13 World Drivers’ Championships have been decided over the years. The sport is growing in Japan where there are now nearly 17 million passionate and incredible F1 fans. The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka last year welcomed 266,000 weekend attendees, and saw a +26% year-over-year increase in TV viewership in Japan. The return of Honda to F1 this year will further boost the potential for the sport here in the Japanese market.Globally the sport is growing with 827 million fans worldwide. The strategy of F1 is to engage with fans in spaces where people may not expect to find it, such as culture, entertainment, music, TV and film. A healthy sport is good for everyone involved. The F1 teams are thriving and in robust financial health, attracting prestigious blue-chip sponsors and demonstrating the unparalleled attractiveness of the F1 ecosystem to global brands.The exciting next generation of regulations for 2026 is one of the factors that has drawn Honda back to the sport. Those regulations will see both the chassis and PUs updated, in the biggest overhaul in the sport’s history. There will be a simplified hybrid engine that runs on advanced sustainable fuel without impacting the performance.F1 echoes the commitment of Honda and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team to sustainability, and is on target to achieve the goal of Net Zero by 2030 having already delivered a 26% reduction in carbon emissions by year end 2024 compared to 2018. F1 welcomes the innovations that are to come and is working with partners such as Honda to push boundaries.Speech by Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin Aramco Formula One TeamIt’s an honor to be in Japan to celebrate this new partnership.

From Computing Chips to Physical AI: Nobel Laureate Hassabis’ Trillion-Dollar Paradigm Forecast and 51WORLD’s (6651.HK) Industry Breakthrough

HONG KONG, January 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In 2026, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry reached another critical turning point. Demis Hassabis, Nobel Prize winner and CEO of Google DeepMind, made a pivotal assertion: the true trillion-dollar opportunity in AI lies not in computing chips, but in “Physical AI”—systems capable of perceiving, understanding, and transforming the real world. Having earned a Nobel Prize for his breakthrough work on AlphaFold, which validated AI’s scientific value, Hassabis’ latest outlook has attracted widespread attention in capital markets. It has also brought 51WORLD (6651.HK), a Hong Kong-listed company focused on Physical AI, into the spotlight.Hassabis pointed out that current AI faces a bottleneck of "intelligence fragmentation": while excelling at digital tasks such as text generation, it struggles to grasp basic physical laws like gravity and spatial continuity. The missing "world model" stands as the final barrier to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). More critically, the poor adaptability of existing data formats leads to computing power waste and low energy efficiency, making energy supply a potential core variable in future AI competition. Physical AI, by constructing a digital environment that closely mirrors reality, holds the key to resolving this series of challenges.As China's first listed company specializing in Physical AI, 51WORLD's strategic layout aligns perfectly with this trend. Deeply rooted in the fields of digital twin and simulation, the company has independently developed the AES Digital Twin Base and 51Sim Simulation Platform, establishing the core infrastructure for Physical AI. The implementation of Physical AI requires breaking through three key elements: synthetic data, spatial intelligence models, and simulation training platforms. Leveraging its massive 3D asset library and 3DGS/4DGS reconstruction technology, 51WORLD has achieved 90% authenticity and 100% scene controllability for synthetic data, providing AI with data support that adheres to physical laws.Its AES Base enables full-scale replication—from micro-components to macro-cities—endowing AI with "physical intuition." Combined with the Clonova Interaction Platform and Aperdata Implementation Platform, it has created a closed loop from digital cognition to physical execution. In embodied intelligence, the ultimate application of Physical AI, 51WORLD has delivered tangible results: it empowers over 100 global intelligent driving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers, testing institutions, universities, and research institutes with closed-loop simulation training solutions, helping clients build safe, efficient, and mass-producible verification systems for intelligent driving systems.51WORLD's resilience stems from its commitment to underlying technologies. During the previous R&D cycle, the company established a leading position in China's Physical AI market. With a new round of large-scale R&D investment in synthetic data, spatial intelligence models, and simulation training platforms, it has solved the cross-scenario generalization challenge of Physical AI—aligning seamlessly with Hassabis' vision of a universal world model. Financial data shows sustained strong revenue growth for the company, and the explosive demand for the 51Sim Platform underscores the industry's urgent need for high-reliability Physical AI simulation technology.Hassabis predicts that over the next five years, AI will enter the era of automated experimentation, requiring digital environments that accurately simulate physical parameters. This aligns closely with 51WORLD's direction of evolving toward a "universal world model" and integrating generative AI. Amid the wave of AI transitioning from the digital world to the physical world, 51WORLD—equipped with technical accumulation and scenario implementation capabilities—is emerging as a core participant and leader in this trillion-dollar track.
