Ken Griffin表达了众多白领工作者对人工智能的担忧。
Ken Griffin shares the concern many anxious white-collar workers have about artificial intelligence.
这位拥有770亿美元对冲基金Citadel的亿万富翁创始人指出,曾经稳定且高薪的工作(如翻译工作)将被这项技术取代。
Once-stable and well-paid jobs will be made obsolete, such as translators, by the technology, the billionaire founder of $77 billion hedge fund Citadel and market maker Citadel Securities said on Tuesday.
他建议美国应开始推行‘再培训’计划,以帮助那些可能失去工作的人。
The US should begin embracing "reskilling" to help people who may be at risk of losing their jobs, Griffin added.
‘我们非常需要这样做,’他说,‘虽然有相关讨论,但实际行动却很少。’不过,他的员工暂时还不必急于寻找新工作。
"We need it in a profound way," he said. "There's talk about it, but there's no action on that front." His own employees shouldn't start looking for a new gig just yet, though.
尽管AI模型取得了巨大进步,但Citadel的核心业务——创造超越市场的投资回报——仍然依赖于人类的能力。
Despite the "tremendous" advancement of AI models, Citadel's business of producing market-beating returns is still squarely in the domain of humans, said Griffin at a Citadel Securities conference in New York.
‘我认为核心业务在于研究,’他说,而这种研究能力来自团队中从事基础研究的员工的创造力、智慧和分析能力。’这并不意味着AI在Griffin的公司中毫无作用。
"I would argue that the core business is research," he said, and the research that can identify an edge over other market participants comes from "the creativity, the ingenuity, the analysis of the people on our team who conduct fundamental research." This isn't to say AI has no role in Griffin's firms.
去年年底,每位股票分析师都获得了AI助手来加速研究流程,但他仍警告不要过度依赖人工智能的判断。如今,新技术加快了交易速度,使投资团队有更多时间进行研究。
At the end of last year, each stock picker at Citadel got an AI assistant "to further accelerate their research process," though even then Griffin warned about "offloading human judgment." Now, trading processes have been sped up by new technology, giving his investment staff more time to spend on research, he said on Tuesday.
作为企业主,Griffin认为AI令人担忧,因为它正在侵蚀公司的竞争优势,迫使传统企业加快创新。
As a business owner, he said AI is frightening because "you're seeing your competitive moats being filled in by bulldozers," forcing long-established companies to innovate faster than ever.
但他对未来充满乐观,认为创业门槛的降低将为企业家带来‘黄金时代’。
But he's predicting a "golden age" for entrepreneurs as barriers to starting a small business fall, and he's become more optimistic about AI overall despite the transformational changes it's likely to bring.
‘这对人们来说很艰难,但最终我们的生活会变得更好,’他说,‘毫无疑问,我们宁愿生活在2026年而不是1926年。’
"It is hard on people, but ultimately our lives are better," he said. "There's no doubt that you or I would rather live right here in 2026 than in 1926."
