汇丰控股公司企业及机构银行部负责人迈克尔·罗伯茨表示，银行和投资者在为人工智能的大规模推广提供资金时变得越来越挑剔，并要求更高的回报。
Banks and investors are becoming increasingly selective and demanding higher returns to fund the massive rollout of artificial intelligence, according to Michael Roberts, head of corporate and institutional banking at HSBC Holdings Plc.
“我认为存在健康的怀疑态度，”罗伯茨在接受彭博电视台采访时从曼谷说道。
“I think there’s a healthy dose of skepticism,” Roberts said in an interview on Bloomberg Television from Bangkok.
全球股市在芯片制造股暴跌之后出现抛售，人工智能的大规模 rally 因对融资挑战的担忧而开始瓦解。
Global stock markets are selling off following a plunge in chipmakers, with a massive rally in AI unraveling over concerns about funding challenges.
与此同时，利率上升和全球债券收益率达到数十年高点，导致建设人工智能基础设施所需投资的资本成本上升。普华永道LLP估计，仅在亚洲地区，到2050年这一支出可能达到8.2万亿美元。
At the same time, rising interest rates and multi-decade highs in global bond yields are elevating capital costs for the investments required to build out AI infrastructure, spending that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP estimates could reach $8.2 trillion in Asia alone by 2050.
“贷款方将更加关注适当的回报、适当的结构以及此类事项，”罗伯茨说。“交易规模非常大，正是因此，这些交易变得更难完成。”}
“Lenders are going to be much more focused on proper returns, proper structure, things of that nature,” Roberts said. “The deal sizes are very large, and by that nature, they’re more difficult to do.”
