傳統金融機構對加密貨幣接受度日益提高,Bybit 執行長 Ben Zhou 表示

(SeaPRwire) -   當 Ben Zhou 在 2018 年創立 Bybit 時,他首先必須說服他的團隊相信比特幣不是一場騙局。 八年後,數位資產如今已成為主流。政府和傳統金融機構正逐漸接受加密貨幣,這點或許最能從美國去年通過《GENIUS 法案》看出來。 「傳統世界正在擁抱加密貨幣,」這位領導全球交易量第二大加密貨幣交易所的負責人告訴媒體。「如果他們不擁抱它,他們將會過時,特別是考慮到加密貨幣錢包的採用率每年增長 20% 到 30%。」 周補充道,像穩定幣這樣的貨幣正受到越來越多的監管,現在可以用於匯款和支付等用途。根據加密貨幣研究公司 Delphi Digital 的數據,2025 年,加密貨幣交易總額預計將超過傳統支付平台(如 和 )的總交易量。 周認為,加密貨幣交易比傳統銀行轉帳「更快、更便宜」。「如果你依賴現有基礎設施並透過 SWIFT 轉帳,那實在太慢了。」 像 Goldman Sachs 這樣的投資銀行正致力於將代幣化資產整合到其交易和諮詢業務中,而像 Visa 和 Mastercard 這樣的支付供應商則正與 Bybit 等加密貨幣交易所建立合作夥伴關係,發行支付卡,讓用戶能夠即時將持有的加密貨幣當作法幣花費。 周認為,在未來十年內,加密貨幣將成為股票和信用違約交換等傳統金融工具背後的「主要驅動力」。「可訪問性、連接性和統一性確實是這項技術的美妙之處。」 創建 Bybit 在進入加密貨幣產業之前,周曾在金融經紀商 XM 擔任外匯交易員,並在那裡擔任了七年的中國區總經理。那時,加密貨幣還很小眾。他回憶說,許多投資者將其視為一種「拉高出貨」的騙局。 周很早就對加密貨幣產生了興趣,但發現當時的平台每當比特幣價格波動時常常不堪重負。他在上海創立了 Bybit,從騰訊和阿里巴巴等中國主要科技公司招募了一支約 15 人的軟體工程師團隊。 在中國於 2021 年禁止加密貨幣挖礦和交易後,周將他的團隊遷至新加坡;一年後,他再次搬遷到杜拜,吸引他的是阿聯酋對加密貨幣友好的法規,包括對加密貨幣收入或資本利得不徵稅,以及清晰的數位資產監管框架。 如今,Bybit 在全球超過 150 個國家營運,儘管該平台在包括美國、加拿大、中國和新加坡在內的幾個其他國家受到限制。 然而,安全挑戰依然存在 儘管金融業整體上對加密貨幣持樂觀態度,但確保交易安全方面的挑戰依然存在。 2025 年 2 月 21 日,北韓駭客從 Bybit 竊取了價值 14 億美元的以太幣,這是歷史上最大規模的加密貨幣盜竊案之一。這次駭客攻擊驚嚇了 Bybit 的客戶,導致了「大規模提款」,周當時表示。 該交易所推出了業界首創的「全球賞金計畫」,呼籲全球網路安全社群協助追蹤和追回被盜的貨幣,並提供被盜資金的 10% 作為獎勵。Bybit 未能追回被盜資金,但成功地有效恢復了其儲備金。 周表示,自駭客攻擊以來,Bybit 已經加強了安全措施,包括使用硬體安全模組(HSM),這是一種防篡改的實體設備,能夠安全地生成、儲存和管理加密金鑰。「除非發生實體入侵,否則沒有人能夠觸及代幣,」周解釋道。 不過,這位 Bybit 執行長承認,加密貨幣交易的快速步伐意味著很難阻止詐騙和盜竊事件的發生。「如果你損失了錢或被詐騙,並且是銀行的客戶,你可以打電話給銀行,他們將能夠追蹤,」他解釋道。在加密貨幣中追蹤被盜資金仍然是可能的,但「一切進展得太快,當你開始處理時,錢已經不見了。」 然而,他對加密貨幣產業未來的安全性仍然持樂觀態度。「加密貨幣基礎設施和技術只會越來越豐富,而且有越來越多的網路安全公司加入這個領域。」 更多國家已經為像 Bybit 這樣的加密貨幣公司制定了監管框架。例如,歐盟在 2024 年底推出了加密資產市場(MiCA)許可證,允許經過認證的加密貨幣供應商在整個歐洲大陸合法營運,而不必強迫公司向每個國家單獨申請許可證。 周相信,加強監管將為加密貨幣的主流應用鋪平道路。他今年將重點放在歐洲市場,以及像阿根廷、巴西、奈及利亞、土耳其和印度這樣的發展中市場,這些市場由於當地貨幣疲軟,對加密貨幣的需求正在蓬勃發展。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。

傑米·戴蒙就移民問題向特朗普喊話:「我不喜歡我所看到的……我認為我們應該稍微平息一下內心的憤怒」

(SeaPRwire) -   在世界經濟論壇的一場廣泛討論中,呼籲緩和有關移民問題的政治言辭,挑戰主導全國對話的「內部憤怒」,同時對前總統唐納德·川普的執法政策提出了務實的批評。 拒絕遵循他所謂的「」政治敘事,戴蒙將自己定位為政策「現實主義者」而非黨派人士。儘管他承認嚴格邊境管制的必要性,但他對當前的執法氛圍和言辭表達了極大的不適。他並不贊同川普政府的做法,但這也不意味著他同意拜登政府的方針。 「我認為我們應該在關於移民的內部憤怒上冷靜一點,」戴蒙說。對於大規模驅逐出境——這通常是川普競選綱領的核心內容——他對此類行動的執行和道德性表示懷疑。 「我認為圍捕罪犯是一回事,」戴蒙指出,但他表示希望獲得更好的數據來說明誰是目標:「告訴我是誰被圍捕了。他們在這裡合法嗎?他們是罪犯嗎?但我不喜歡我所看到的。」 戴蒙回憶了與川普的一次私人對話,暗示這位前總統對移民改革的私下看法可能比他公開的競選演說更為靈活。戴蒙聲稱他曾敦促川普將邊境安全與居民的合法途徑結合起來,告訴他:「當你控制了邊境,就把剩下的問題解決掉,」他記得曾告訴川普,這指的是建立一個基於績效的制度以及為勤奮工作的人提供「通往公民身份的途徑」。 戴蒙回憶說川普當時表現出接納的態度,說道:「是的,更基於績效,」以及「絕對的」。 戴蒙還指出,川普已承認移民勞工在關鍵領域的經濟必要性。「我聽過川普說……『嘿,我們需要這些人,』」他指出移民在醫院、酒店、餐飲和農業中扮演的重要角色。戴蒙強調,這些工人中的大多數是「好人」,他們「理應受到那樣的對待」。 然而,戴蒙對同情心的呼籲,伴隨著對聯邦政府多年來處理移民危機方式的嚴厲批評。他說他仍然「對拜登政府任由情況發生感到憤怒」,當時驅逐出境人數下降,非法入境人數激增,他認為缺乏邊境管制已經「嚴重損害了我們的國家」。他重申了一個基本立場,即國家「必須控制其邊境,否則將導致巨大問題」,並以歐洲各地的移民困境作為警示。 儘管面臨這些挑戰,戴蒙認為美國相對於歐洲保留了一個明顯的優勢:移民渴望融入的意願。 「在美國,大多數來到美國的人想要成為美國人,」他說。「他們來工作,他們迫不及待地想成為美利堅合眾國的公民。這對大多數歐洲移民來說並非如此。」 在整個討論過程中,戴蒙反駁了將他的觀點單純歸類為一方面「川普式」,另一方面「自由派」的嘗試,批評媒體試圖為複雜的經濟和社會問題尋求非黑即白的答案。他堅持認為,儘管他在關稅和言辭上與川普意見相左,但他同意邊境安全的必要性,前提是必須伴隨承認經濟現實的政策。 「我是個現實主義者,我喜歡事實和細節,而不是一直發生的二元廢話,」他說。 對於這篇報導,記者使用了生成式人工智慧作為研究工具。編輯在發布前已核實資訊的準確性。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。

OpenAI前銷售總監進軍創投業,她仍自稱「AGI雪巴人」

(SeaPRwire) -   歡迎收看《Eye on AI》,由AI記者Sharon Goldman主持。本期內容包括……OpenAI首位商業僱員擔任風險投資職位……正在開發AI驅動的穿戴式別針……Google透過新的「人才收購」(acquihire)從語音AI初創公司Hume挖走頂尖人才……OpenAI宣布公司重組,由前Thinking Machines聯合創辦人Barret Zeph負責企業業務推動。 Aliisa Rosenthal在2022年6月開始擔任OpenAI的銷售主管,當時她是該公司首位商業僱員,團隊裡只有幾名銷售代表——而且沒什麼可賣的產品。她甚至不確定公司能否找到合適的產品市場契合點,推出成功的商業產品。 ChatGPT當然在六個月後問世。幾乎一夜之間,OpenAI從一個以開發者為受眾的研究實驗室,搖身一變成為全球最知名的公司之一。Rosenthal在接下來的大部分時間裡,盡可能快速地擴充她的團隊,最終負責一個超過300人的上市(go-to-market)組織。 然而,隨著公司成長,Rosenthal意識到她準備再次回到小型團隊——這次是在風險投資領域。今年夏天休息一段時間後,她本週宣布加入Acrew Capital擔任普通合夥人,協助該公司旗下企業「應對定價、上市策略(GTM)、AI原生銷售,以及決定哪些業務真正能擴展的商業決策」。 「OpenAI是我待過最具啟發性的公司之一,」她表示。「但隨著公司和我的團隊不斷成長,我的工作逐漸偏離了那些讓我充滿活力的研究和技術問題解決。」她指出,離開時,銷售團隊與產品和工程團隊已位於不同的辦公樓。 「我發現自己想念與開發者、實驗以及艱難技術決策的緊密接觸,」她說。「我希望重新調整工作方向,與那份熱情保持一致。」 在2024年初我[ ]時,她描述這種熱情與OpenAI的使命深深相連——即推廣安全人工通用智慧(AGI)的好處,該公司將AGI定義為「在大多數經濟價值工作中表現優於人類的高度自主系統」。當時她表示,她認為自己的團隊與其說是為了賺錢,不如說是「AGI嚮導」(AGI sherpas,內部還使用了特殊的嚮導表情符號),幫助客戶和用戶應對這場百年一遇的技術變革。 我問她是否仍然這麼看待自己。「老實說,是的,」她表示。「現在每個人銷售AI產品時,不只是在賣工具。你賣的是一種全新的技術——它令人畏懼、與眾不同,而且人們並不瞭解它。」 她解釋說,這意味著要克服恐懼和不確定性。「幾乎一半的銷售工作在於讓買家和用戶放心:『幕後發生了什麼?』『我的數據怎麼了?』『我能信任這個系統嗎?』」 在OpenAI期間與數千家公司會面後,Rosenthal表示她現在準備幫助創辦人應對這種新的AI採購流程。她相信初創公司仍有巨大的成功空間——即使在這個由OpenAI、Anthropic和[大型科技巨頭,如?]等巨頭主導的時代。 「企業應用領域有著巨大的機會——藍海(green space)非常廣闊,」她說。「是的,OpenAI會爭取其中一部分,但我認為OpenAI無法涵蓋全部。OpenAI既是消費者公司也是企業公司,不太可能真正覆蓋整個企業應用生態系統。」 她以自己在OpenAI最初的日子作為證據,說明這個領域仍有許多機會待挖掘。「我加入時,真的只有開發者在使用我們的產品,而且很難操作,」她回憶道。「在我第二週時,我與我們的COO Brad Lightcap坐下來談,我說:『為什麼我們沒有應用程式?』他的回應是:『我們應該要有嗎?』」 六個月後,OpenAI推出了ChatGPT——一切都改變了。 「看到這如何將OpenAI轉變為C級主管(高層)能理解的東西,真是令人著迷,」她說。「我非常認同讓AI變得易懂的理念,也非常認同應用層面。我們越能讓這項技術變得平易近人且易於操作,它就會被越廣泛地採用——企業也會越成功。」 接下來,是更多AI新聞。 Sharon Goldmansharon.goldman@ @sharongoldman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。

美國可能因過多「悲觀主義」而「輸掉AI競賽」,白宮AI專員大衛·薩克斯表示

(SeaPRwire) -   人工智能霸主地位的競爭已使矽谷大佬與華盛頓政策制訂者及中國競爭對手對立。唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)總統對人工智能(AI)發展採取放鬆監管的方針,有時公然違背主張改善安全基礎設施的批評,而政府首席技術顧問將這種批評等同於故意放棄人工智能主導地位的競爭。 所謂的人工智能「末日論」(doomer)心態——認為不受約束的人工智能最終將對人類造成淨負面影響,甚至可能導致社會崩潰——對美國而言是「自傷行為」,長期科技投資者大衛·薩克斯(David Sacks)表示,他被特朗普任命為人工智能和加密貨幣總管。 「我們普遍看到,在西方國家,對人工智能的樂觀度低很多,」薩克斯周三在瑞士達沃斯世界經濟論壇上與 首席執行官馬克·貝尼奧夫(Marc Benioff)的 中表示。薩克斯指出,一項長期開展的 得出了驚人的發現:2025年美國人對人工智能的悲觀程度超過世界大多數國家。 薩克斯表示,他擔心過度監管的人工智能發展方針會引發「一陣悲觀情緒」,包括參議員伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)上月呼籲對數據中心建設實施 。 「如果我們在各州有1200條不同的人工智能法律,打壓創新,我擔心我們會输掉人工智能競賽,」薩克斯告訴貝尼奧夫。 自上任以來,特朗普對人工智能發展採取了明確的自由市場立場。去年夏天發布的一份 中,政府廢除了許多與人工智能研究相關的法規,這與之前推動聯邦參與人工智能治理的整體政府方針的 形成逆轉。特朗普在12月進一步採取行動,發布一份 進一步削弱了人工智能發展的州級防範措施。該行政命令表示,全球人工智能主導地位需要美國公司「在沒有繁瑣監管的情況下自由創新」。  薩克斯在達沃斯的其他場合也重申了政府對州級干預的不認可。周三在與CNBC的 中,薩克斯批評了加州提議的億萬富翁財富稅——對淨資產超過10億美元的居民征收一次性5%的總財富稅,該提案將於明年11月進入投票。  「這不是一次性的,而是第一次,」薩克斯說,他上月從加州搬到了德克薩斯州。「如果他們得逞,就會有第二次、第三次。這將是這個國家新事物的開始。」 薩克斯是批評該提案並決定離開加州的幾位富有的加州居民之一,其中包括 創始人 。在接受CNBC採訪時,他稱該計劃可能是州政府越權的「可怕方向」。 儘管矽谷領袖紛紛離開,且一些人工智能公司 特朗普政府的監管放寬,但隨著研究越來越接近「太陽」(指風險),這種無限制的人工智能發展方針也受到批評。對 、 和 的蔓延的恐懼削弱了股市對人工智能的部分熱情。  甚至一些人工智能領袖也感到不安。去年11月,Anthropic首席執行官達里奧·阿莫代伊(Dario Amodei)在60分鐘節目中 表示,他對人工智能公司現在承擔自我監管的任務感到「極度不安」,稱他更傾向於「對技術進行負責任且深思熟慮的監管」。 支持者傾向於將放鬆監管視為跟上中國人工智能競爭對手的必要手段。中國的人工智能研究正迅速 美國,一些模型——最突出的是杭州初創公司DeepSeek開發的模型——在特定推理任務中正在追上甚至 西方模型的表現。  在與貝尼奧夫的交談中,薩克斯引用了斯坦福大學以人為本人工智能研究所(Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence)去年發布的一項關於全球人工智能樂觀率差異的最新研究。中國的樂觀情緒占主導,83%的受訪者認為人工智能利大於弊。相比之下,美國只有39%的人持樂觀態度。  但儘管特朗普和薩克斯等人士呼籲無約束的人工智能方針,悲觀主義在美國並不是嚴格的黨派問題。去年12月,佛羅里達州州長羅恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)——前共和黨總統候選人——也呼籲對數據中心建設實施 。上周,一個兩黨眾議院委員會聽取了關於人工智能在K-12教育中影響的 。儘管一些共和黨委員提醒不要通過更多監管阻礙創新,但與會者對兒童接觸人工智能的潛在風險達成了廣泛共識。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。

McDonald’s CEO分享給Z世代與年輕千禧一代員工的「嚴厲的愛」職涯建議:「沒有人在意你的職涯」

(SeaPRwire) -   如果你在等老闆注意到你,然後把豐厚的升職機會送到你面前,麥當勞(McDonald’s)CEO克里斯·肯普欽斯基(Chris Kempczinski)有個殘酷的建議:沒有人會突然出現幫你實現職業生涯。  這位57歲的主管透過 分享了他如果「不怕傷害員工感情」會給出的「嚴愛」建議。對於剛入職的Z世代和年輕千禧一代員工來說,這是個重要的提醒:成功的責任在你自己身上——沒有神奇的導師,也沒有仁慈的老闆。 「要有抗壓力,」肯普欽斯基說。「記住,沒有人比你更在意自己的職業生涯。」  「所以那種以為有人會關心你、確保你得到機會、讓你處於合適位置的想法——如果真的發生當然很好——但歸根結底,沒有人比你更在意自己的職業生涯。」 這位哈佛商學院(Harvard Business School)校友在2015年加入這家市值2157億美元的速食巨頭之前,曾在  、 和卡夫食品(Kraft Foods)逐步晉升,最後他用一句激勵的話總結:如果你想要,就去爭取。 「你必須掌控它。你必須為自己創造機會。」 引發熱議的殘酷職場真相 在文案中,肯普欽斯基事先為自己「有點直率」道歉。但事實證明,他不是唯一一個給出嚴厲但有用職業建議的人。  「沒有雇主會在解雇你前提前兩周通知你。所以做對你和你的職業生涯最好的事,」一名用戶在影片下留言。 另一位用戶留言:「人們只會記得你給他們的感覺」 另一位Instagram用戶分享說,他們30年來一直用著和肯普欽斯基一樣的信條。「直到上周我還在反覆說這些話,」這位用戶補充道。「你的主管應該關心你,給你表現的機會,但引導自己的職業生涯是你的責任!沒有人比你更在意自己的職業生涯!」 還有人迅速將大膽的反饋指向麥當勞(McDonalds)老闆本人。一些用戶指出麥當勞存在嚴重的薪資不平等,另一些則專門抨擊他的職業建議。 「說這話的人上了哈佛,然後去了杜克大學(Duke)。而且他爸爸是外科醫生,」一名用戶寫道,並補充說肯普欽斯基的職業經歷比普通員工有更多的「特權」、「可用資源」,因此也有更多人幫助他。「沒有很多人關心你、一路上提拔你,你不可能達到這傢伙曾經和現在的位置。」 「這是個糟糕的觀點,」另一位觀眾反駁道。「雖然不一定大量存在,但有很多導師和領導者對他們的員工非常熱情。這些導師通常更有經驗,會幫助引導人們做出最好的決定,帶來最好的結果。」 Skims、McDonads、 和 的CEO都同意:你的職業生涯和成功掌握在自己手中 價值40億美元的塑身衣品牌Skims背後的白手起家億萬富翁老闆艾玛·格雷德(Emma Grede)也同樣呼應,員工的職業成功、平衡和幸福是他們自己的責任。  在一篇,中,格雷德說她與卡戴珊家族(Kardashians)共同建立的商業帝國——包括與金·卡戴珊(Kim Kardashian)、科勒·卡戴珊(Khloe Kardashian)和凱莉·詹納(Kylie Jenner)合作的多個服裝品牌,以及與該家族合作的清潔產品品牌——歸根結底是她掌控全局,並大膽主動聯絡家族大家長、「經理媽媽」克莉絲·詹納(Kris Jenner)。 「我和其他人的區別在於我打了電話,參加了會議,並促成了這件事,」格雷德說。 「我沒有冒充者綜合症,也不幻想誰能經營企業,」格雷德補充道。「我只是想,如果不是我,那會是誰?」 她還在The Diary of a CEO中表示,員工需要為自己的工作與生活平衡負責:「那不是雇主的工作;那不是雇主的責任。」 同樣,在最近的No One Knows What They’re Doing播客中,LinkedIn CEO瑞安·羅斯蘭斯克(Ryan Roslansk)承認,數據顯示很少有人會得到線性晉升。相反,普通員工需要主動尋找機會,必要時轉型,並將每個角色視為培養技能和增加曝光度的墊腳石。 「如果你專注於這些小步驟,獲取知識,積累經驗,你的職業道路會開闢出很多機會,」他說。「你越早意識到這一點,就能越早在自己手中掌控職業生涯。沒有人會替你解決這些問題。你必須自己照顧好它。」 但正如亞馬遜(Amazon)CEO安迪·賈西(Andy Jassy)指出的那樣,掌控自己的職業生涯也可以是件好事——這意味著你在掌舵,如果你不喜歡它前進的方向,你可以改變它。  「不要害怕嘗試很多不同的事情,不要讓別人告訴你,無論你做過什麼——即使你做了一段時間——都是你必須做的,」賈西在一篇 中寫道。  「你有機會書寫自己的故事。」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。

人工智能药物初创公司Insilico Medicine推出人工智能“健身房”,助力GPT和文心一言等模型精通科学领域

(SeaPRwire) -   Insilico Medicine是一家总部位于美国、在香港上市的人工智能药物研发公司,该公司即将推出一项新服务,训练通用型大语言模型(如OpenAI的GPT或阿里巴巴的通义千问)处理生物和化学任务。Insilico创始人兼首席执行官Alex Zhavoronkov表示,在用于衡量人工智能执行科学任务能力的基准测试中,通用模型“表现惨不忍睹”。“你对同一任务进行五次测试,就会发现它与最先进水平相差甚远……基本上比随机猜测还要差。简直就是垃圾。”直接在化学或生物学数据上训练的专业人工智能模型则要好得多。但这些模型通常不允许用户用自然语言进行提示,不像通用模型那样,而且它们也缺乏执行专业科学功能以外任务的能力。Insilico新推出的“科学MMAI健身房”应运而生,旨在将通用型大语言模型转变为性能与专业模型相当的模型。这个“健身房”是Insilico的一个关键举措,该公司称这是其“迈向制药超级智能的长期路线图”的一部分。这家初创公司是一群试图利用机器学习和人工智能研发新药的生物技术公司之一。但通过这个“健身房”,Insilico现在将目标对准了其他生物技术和制药公司,提出为它们训练新的人工智能模型。Insilico将使用特定领域的数据集、奖励模型和强化学习的组合来训练模型,并声称这一过程可以使模型在化学和生物学关键基准测试中的性能提高多达10倍,甚至接近专门为这些科学任务设计的模型的性能。但是,为什么一家公司会决定训练通用模型,而不是使用专业模型呢?原因在于灵活性:专业模型在某一件事情上表现出色——比如药物研发——但无法做其他事情;相比之下,经过训练的通用模型,即使其性能无法完全与专业模型相匹配,也能保持执行许多其他任务的能力。这意味着初创公司可以依赖一个大型模型,而不是一系列专业模型。“如果模型较小,它就会开始忘记一些最初设计用于执行的更基本任务,”Zhavoronkov说。“如果模型较大,就不会有这个问题。”Zhavoronkov承认,即使是通过Insilico的“健身房”训练出来的通用模型,其性能仍然不如最先进的专业模型。“要让它们能够进行分子模拟推理,它们需要理解和看到物理原理。语言并非为此而设计,所以与前沿的基于物理的模型相比,它们会稍逊一筹,”他解释道,不过他预计这种情况在未来几年会有所改善。  然而,随着大语言模型越来越普及,以及越来越多的初创公司采用它们,Zhavoronkov表示,他希望Insilico成为“这些模型的头号训练者”。他说,Insilico已经就培训项目与潜在客户进行了洽谈;虽然他没有透露具体公司名称,但他表示已与“美国顶尖前沿企业”进行了接触。Insilico、香港与生物技术Insilico成立于2014年,正急于成为首批让完全由人工智能设计的药物通过临床试验并上市的初创公司之一。该公司的一项主要工作是研发一种治疗特发性肺纤维化的药物,这种疾病会导致肺部形成疤痕组织,使呼吸变得困难。该公司表示,他们成功将药物推进到临床试验阶段,这比传统生物技术公司平均四年的时间要短得多。去年,该药物进行了试验,研究人员得出结论,这些结果值得“在更大规模、更长时间的临床试验中进一步研究”。Insilico还将目标对准了其他疾病,如炎症性肠病,同时也在研究新型癌症药物和GLP-1药物。去年12月,Insilico在首次公开募股(IPO)中筹集了23亿港元(2.95亿美元),这是2025年香港最大的生物技术公司首次公开募股。此次IPO吸引了包括腾讯和橡树资本等公司作为基石投资者。自12月30日在香港证券交易所上市以来,该公司股价飙升。截至1月16日,Insilico的股价为54.75港元(7.02美元),现在的价值是其IPO发行价24.05港元(3.08美元)的两倍多。追踪香港上市的30家最大生物技术公司的恒生生物技术指数在过去12个月中上涨了100%,远远超过基准恒生指数37%的涨幅。Insilico并不是最近几周在香港上市的股价飙升的唯一人工智能初创公司。中国消费人工智能初创公司MiniMax的股价自1月9日开始交易以来已经上涨了160%。芯片设计公司壁仞科技的股价也比其IPO发行价上涨了90%以上。尽管如此,美国和中国的投资者都在怀疑人工智能热潮是否能够持续。虽然Zhavoronkov密切关注股市中形成人工智能泡沫的可能性,但他乐观地认为,与其他行业相比,人工智能药物研发受泡沫破裂的影响较小。“人们可以没有对话助手或人工智能生成的电影。但他们离不开药物。”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) -   自助儲存行業裡常發生離奇的事。 2023年,Matt Engfer在德克薩斯州參加了連續兩場留置權拍賣會。在這類拍賣會上,投標者購買被遺棄的儲藏室,完全不知道裡面有什麼,純屬賭一把未知的東西。  因此,打開一個儲藏室的瞬間可能充滿戲劇性。鎖被打開,門捲起,所有人都屏住呼吸。而在德克薩斯州的那一天,第一個儲藏室裡竟然有意外的寶藏——滿滿一屋子價值數萬美元的藝術品。第二個儲藏室則更令人難忘。  「他們打開了那個儲藏室,」Engfer笑著說。「結果裡面有什麼?一個用來飼養蛇類食物的老鼠繁殖設備。你絕對不應該在儲藏室裡養活體動物,但這個設備裡滿滿的都是要賣給養蛇人的老鼠。」 這會是我本週聽到的最好故事嗎?幾乎可以肯定是。但這也讓人窺見自助儲存行業到底有多令人驚訝。自助儲存是那些經典的「隱形卻無處不在」的行業之一——生活中的雜物總得有地方放,而世界上有那麼多人。再說現在是2026年,難怪這個行業會有自己的遺留軟件,Engfer認為這些軟件可以改進。  這就是Engfer和Adam Fleming在2022年創立自助儲存軟件公司Cubby的原因。該公司現在的客戶包括超過400家運營商,擁有2000多個設施,其中包括Atomic Storage Group和American Self-Storage。它還達成了一個關鍵的財務里程碑:Cubby剛剛籌集了6300萬美元的A輪融資,由Goldman Sachs Alternatives的Growth Equity領投,獨家獲悉此事。該公司現有的投資者包括Third Prime和Bienville。 從某種意義上說,Cubby旨在解決經典的企業軟件問題:現有的遺留軟件被許多人認為過時了。甚至在創立Cubby之前,Engfer就遇到了質疑。  「2018年時,即使是線上租儲藏室都幾乎不存在,」他說。「與此同時,你卻可以線上預訂世界上任何一家酒店的房間。所以從客戶的角度來看,顯然技術還不夠好。但行業內的人都很清醒,並不過度熱衷。很明顯這會很難,但機會很多。」 這是因為自助儲存行業規模相當龐大。Engfer告訴我,該行業價值約500億美元,目前全美有超過52000個自助儲存點——比Burger King、、、和McDonald’s在美國的門店總和還多。這是一個利潤率通常在30%到40%之間的行業,需求始終穩定且強勁。  「根據你參考的研究,15%到25%的人口都是某種形式的儲存租客,」他說。「而且這個比例隨著世代更迭而增長。Z世代比千禧一代更常租儲存室,千禧一代比X世代更常租,X世代比嬰兒潮一代更常租。此外,嬰兒潮一代也開始搬出他們的房子。所以,對儲存的需求非常大。」 他補充說,這些多樣化的需求形式也讓自助儲存某種程度上「抗衰退」。因此,Cubby並不是唯一一家試圖在這個廣闊領域提供軟件的參與者。Cubby的主要競爭對手是SiteLink——該國主導的自助儲存軟件提供商,其投資者包括私募股權公司和Cove Hill Partners。Engfer強調:高盛的投資不是私募股權交易。他說,一旦獲得大量關注,Engfer就開始尋找一個增長股權合作夥伴,這個合作夥伴不會過度干預公司經營。 「我們想要一個有遠見的投資者帶來的健康壓力,」他說。「這對我們公司有好處……現在,我們想要一個有幫助的少數股權投資合作夥伴,他懂商業房地產,並會為我們努力——但我們要經營公司,因為我們知道怎麼做。」 我問Engfer為什麼像自助儲存這樣的行業最終如此重要。他的回答主要圍繞著國家的社會經濟狀況。他說,自助儲存行業擁有如今很少見的向上流動機會。 「據我所知,[自助儲存行業]是最後一個你可以不用大學畢業就能找到每小時18美元的現場經理工作的地方,」他說。「你可以升幾次職,成為區域經理,籌集資金,購買或建造設施,然後建立一個非常有價值的房地產投資組合。我知道這是真的,因為我們一半的客戶都是這樣的人。」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。

Ken Griffin 表示,債券市場已向美國發出「明確警告」,是時候整頓國債了

(SeaPRwire) -   儘管目前關於全球經濟的最重要動態似乎來自瑞士阿爾卑斯山的一個小鎮,但東京可能不以為然。本週日本債券市場遭遇大幅拋售,收益率飆至歷史新高。10年期國債收益率飆升至2.2%,而雖然這波拋售的具體觸發點難以確定,但很可能是地緣政治緊張局勢與市場對高市早苗首相提出的21.3兆日圓(1340億美元)經濟刺激計畫(旨在支撐日本負債沉重的經濟)隱隱擔憂的綜合影響。城堡投資(Citadel)執行長肯·格里芬(Ken Griffin)警告,這對美國應是個警示——美國國債收益率本週已逼近5%的危險基準。 「我認為這是個明確的警告:如果你的財政狀況混亂,債券警衛(bond vigilantes)就會出來調整定價,」格里芬在達沃斯的一場活動中表示。 5%的門檻令投資者擔憂,因為此時持有美國國債的回報已與股票收益相當。這之所以令人擔心,是因為債券向被視為均衡投資組合中穩定、低風險的部分;若收益率與股票相當,對追求穩定的投資者而言,風險可能也過高了。 「尤其令人不安的是……當債券與股票價格同步波動時,債券就不再是股票投資組合的避險工具,並失去其在構建投資組合中相當重要的獨特性,」格里芬說。 美國國債本週走勢動盪,源於川普總統上週末宣布,若多個歐洲國家不支持其收購格陵蘭的提議,將對這些國家加徵額外關稅。隨著市場對歐洲及其投資者可能的反應(尤其是是否繼續持有美國國債)猜測升溫,國債收益率飆升。 這種猜測讓美國財政部長斯科特·貝森特(Scott Bessent)感到困擾。他聲稱,德意志銀行(Deutsche Bank)執行長親自打電話向他致歉,起因是該銀行上週末發布的一份報告暗示,歐洲投資者可能會因川普的威脅「用腳投票」(撤資)。德意志銀行的報告只是眾多指出美國國債可能被用來「糾正」川普計畫的分析之一,包括瑞銀(UBS)的保羅·多諾萬(Paul Donovan)就提到,美國的赤字是其「阿基里斯之踵」。 美國的融資問題 儘管近期收益率波動源於短期外交政策,但這也暴露了美國融資的更廣泛問題。美國國家債務現已超過38萬億美元,僅在2025財年最後三個月,政府就支付了超過2700億美元的債務利息。從摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase)執行長傑米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)到聯準會主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾(Jerome Powell),各界關注的並非美國債務本身的價值,而是其借款規模與經濟成長的關係。 有人可能辯稱,債務危機永遠不會發生,因為聯邦準備理事會(Federal Reserve)可以直接印更多鈔票(這本身就具有通膨性);但也有人擔心,投資者終將認為美國支出已達不穩定門檻,從而要求更高回報。 「如果美國國債因美國被視為缺乏償債信譽而被視為有風險,那麼債券與股票價格將同步波動。這將導致市場對債券的收益率要求大幅上升,房貸利率會更高;我們為赤字融資的成本也會更高,」格里芬說。 目前,投資者對美國財政軌跡似乎相對樂觀。在川普再次上演「TACO交易」(TACO即「川普總是臨陣退縮」)並撤銷對歐洲國家的關稅威脅後,國債收益率迅速回落。同樣,30年期國債收益率維持在4%至5%之間,符合過去幾年的整體趨勢。 但格里芬補充,這種信心可能不會永遠持續。儘管美國目前「尚未玩火」,他警告:「美國擁有龐大財富,我們可以在一段時間內維持這種赤字支出水平。但我們越晚調整方向,未來改變時的後果將越嚴峻。」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。

Davos Highlights Physical AI as Key Trend, 51 WORLD (6651.HK) Emerges as Industry Implementer

HONG KONG, January 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – January 19, 2026, Davos, Switzerland, The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting kicked off with artificial intelligence retaining its central role in global discussions, while Physical AI emerged as a breakthrough theme shaping the next wave of intelligent systems. Industry leaders including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon outlined their visions for AI that bridges digital and physical environments—a domain where Chinese tech firm 51 WORLD is already demonstrating tangible progress.During the forum, in a keynote dialogue with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Jensen Huang emphasized Physical AI’s role in overcoming barriers between virtual models and real-world applications. NVIDIA is providing computing power support through its full-stack technology and the next-generation Rubin AI Computing Platform, building an open ecosystem to drive the application of Physical AI across multiple sectors. Jensen Huang articulated the "AI Five-Layer Cake" theory, which views AI as an industrial cluster composed of energy, chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models, and practical applications, with the application layer serving as the core driver of economic benefits.He emphasized that the current massive investments in AI are not a bubble; instead, they will be converted into future returns through a continuous stream of AI applications, with Physical AI serving as the technological foundation for integrating AI into the real economy.On the same day, Cristiano Amon’s keynote speech echoed this sentiment. Centering on the large-scale implementation of AI, he explicitly identified Physical AI as the core focus of Qualcomm’s AI strategy, proposing to leverage edge computing to promote the in-depth penetration of Physical AI in end-user scenarios. Amon stated that the future of AI will not be an "either cloud or edge" choice, but rather a shift toward a hybrid model of "cloud + edge" collaboration. This model will provide an optimal path for the implementation of Physical AI: rapid responses will be completed at the edge, while complex reasoning will be coordinated with the cloud—a transformation expected to gradually take shape in 2026.As a Chinese technology enterprise focusing on the Physical AI field, 51 WORLD has made in-depth layouts in related areas since its establishment, with its business development and strategic planning closely aligning with the industry signals released by the Davos Forum. In terms of core Physical AI layout, 51 WORLD has built three major business lines—51Aes, 51Sim, and 51Earth—around three core technologies: 3D graphics, simulation, and artificial intelligence. This forms a full-chain closed-loop Physical AI ecosystem of "synthetic data - spatial intelligence model - simulation training platform," which highly aligns with Jensen Huang’s emphasis on "full-stack technology support" and Cristiano Amon’s focus on "scenario-based implementation." Leveraging its strong technological barriers and ecological advantages, 51 WORLD has implemented benchmark Physical AI cases in multiple sectors including intelligent driving, transportation hubs, smart factories, and smart energy.From the industry consensus at the Davos Forum to the practical breakthroughs of domestic enterprises, Physical AI is evolving from a concept to large-scale implementation, becoming a new engine driving global economic transformation. With Digital Twin as its foundation and Physical AI as its core, 51 WORLD continues to consolidate technological barriers and expand the boundaries of scenario applications. As it steadily advances on the path of empowering the high-quality development of the real economy, 51 WORLD is well-positioned to seize core competitiveness in the global Physical AI track amid the broader AI industry transformation.

Fujitsu and Mizuho Bank partner to develop new order and payment processing service for SMEs

Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, Jan 22, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. today announced a collaboration to develop a new order and payment processing service aimed at creating new value and supporting the sustainable growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This collaboration is driven by a shared goal to co-create next-generation data-driven services.Prior to the service development, both companies successfully established a technology to automatically convert and link disparate order data formats used by ordering/purchasing companies and receiving/delivering companies in the distribution industry. This achievement has enabled a reduction of up to 70% in order processing and reconciliation tasks (operations to clear outstanding balances related to accounts receivable and payable), which were previously performed manually.Through this initiative, both companies aim to jointly create next-generation corporate services that leverage data to support the creation of new value and sustainable growth for mid-sized and small and medium-sized enterprises.The two companies have successfully demonstrated a technology that automatically absorbs and converts differences in data structures and formats between Ryutsu Business Message Standard (Ryutsu BMS,) a standard EDI in the distribution industry used by purchasing companies, and Common EDI for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises used by receiving/delivering companies. This was achieved by utilizing Fujitsu Japan Limited's distribution EDI service TradeFront/6G.Through this demonstration, conducted with the cooperation of purchasing companies using Ryutsu BMS and delivering companies using Common EDI for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, it was confirmed that approximately 70% of order processing tasks were streamlined by eliminating manual input and conversion work.Based on this technology, Fujitsu and Mizuho Bank will promote the creation of next-generation services that fundamentally digitalize manual operations by integrating and linking disparate order data across different industries, beyond the distribution sector, on a single service platform. This will seamlessly connect order processing and payment operations that were previously fragmented between large enterprises and mid-sized and small and medium-sized enterprises. Furthermore, by addressing diverse funding needs through financing methods that utilize order data, the companies will respond to various customer requirements.Figure: Overview of next-generation corporate services BackgroundImproving the efficiency of corporate order processing and reconciliation tasks is a key management challenge for many companies, from the perspective of enhancing productivity and strengthening competitiveness. Some surveys indicate that approximately 70% of companies face challenges with payment reconciliation operations, with an average of about 2,500 transactions processed and approximately 170 hours spent per month.Currently, approximately 30% of inter-company transactions utilize Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for order processing. However, except for standardized EDI in some industries, a large portion of transactions still involve different systems and formats even between EDIs. This leads to manual order processing and reconciliation tasks due to the inability to integrate data management and link with payment data.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers around the globe, our 113,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: AI, Computing, Networks, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation. Fujitsu Limited (TSE:6702) reported consolidated revenues of 3.6 trillion yen (US$23 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and remains the top digital services company in Japan by market share.
