世界银行行长阿贾伊·班加周二表示，尽管人们担心人工智能会推高利率，但资本供给依然充足。
World Bank President Ajay Banga said on Tuesday that capital remained available despite concerns of artificial intelligence sending interest rates higher.
“并非真正问题，”班加在接受CNBC节目《Squawk Box》采访时说。班加表示，世行去年调动了1120亿美元资金，约为三年前水平的三倍。他说，投资者可能担心循环融资以及与AI相关的商业模式。
"It's not really an issue," Banga said in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Banga said the World Bank mobilized $112 billion last year, around three times higher than the amount recorded three years prior. He said investors may be concerned about circular financing and the business model tied to AI.
但班加告诉CNBC，新兴市场并未遭遇同样的犹豫，因为这些投资更多聚焦于桥梁、道路等基础设施。他还说，这些国家也在关注AI的小规模应用，而发达国家同行则需要资金支持大规模应用场景。
But Banga told CNBC that emerging markets are not running into the same hesitancy because the investments focus more on infrastructure like bridges and roads. These countries also look at smaller-scale uses of AI, he said, while developed counterparts need funding to support large use cases.
“总体而言，我仍相信AI将具有变革性且盈利，”班加说。“但大家都看到通往那里的路上会有颠簸，没人知道下一个颠簸何时到来。”这家成立于1944年的金融机构旨在通过全球伙伴关系和资金支持，消除贫困并促进经济繁荣。在出任世行行长之前，班加曾任大西洋集团副主席和万事达卡首席执行官。
"In general, I still believe that AI is going to be transformative and profitable," Banga said. "But everybody sees bumps in the road from here to there, and no one knows when the next bump will come." The financial institution, which was founded in 1944, aims to end poverty and support economic prosperity through global partnerships and funding. Before taking the top job at the bank, Banga was vice chair at General Atlantic and CEO of Mastercard.
