这是银行及其监管机构面临的最新警钟，提醒人们警惕迅速兴起的变革性技术浪潮所带来的危险。
It’s the latest wake-up call for banks and their regulators about the dangers posed by a swiftly emerging wave of transformative technology.
Meta本月推出的Muse让人们重新关注到一种可能性：人们可能会利用所谓的AI智能体，轻松地将资金转移到支付更高存款利息的竞争对手银行，从而抽走许多银行廉价的资金来源。虽然这对普通人可能是一种福音，但对于处于美国经济中心地位的企业而言，这却是一个潜在的稳定性风险。
The launch this month of Meta’s Muse has brought new attention to the possibility that people might use so-called AI agents to easily shift their money into competing lenders that pay more interest on deposits, draining a cheap source of funding for many banks. While that could be a boon for everyday people, it’s a potential stability risk for firms that sit at the center of the U.S. economy.
这一风险可能会加剧华盛顿两大最强大的游说力量——AI公司和大型银行——之间的紧张关系，并扩大Meta的战场范围，Meta目前正面临来自亚马逊的抵制。但与此同时，金融机构、监管机构和立法者仍处于早期阶段，正在努力应对该技术可能如何影响存款人行为，以及AI智能体提出的一系列其他问题，包括谁应为AI智能体的行为承担法律责任，以及可能需要哪些消费者保护措施。
That risk threatens to stoke tensions between two of Washington’s most powerful lobbying forces — AI firms and big banks — and expand the scope of the battlefield for Meta, which is already facing pushback from Amazon. But in the meantime, financial institutions, regulators and lawmakers are still in the early stages of grappling with how the technology might affect depositor behavior, as well as how to address a slew of other questions posed by AI agents, including who bears legal responsibility for their behavior and what consumer protections might be needed.
