目前,,人工智能成為一種熱門商品,,在科技界引發(fā)了顛覆性的變化,使許多公司的估值飆升,,但這項技術也遭遇了質(zhì)疑,,人們甚至擔心它可能引發(fā)“末日審判”。
關于人工智能會如何影響股市,、就業(yè)和全球經(jīng)濟,,專家們意見不一,但有一位科技分析師卻強調(diào),人工智能給投資者帶來了巨大的機會,。
Wedbush的分析師丹·艾夫斯于6月26日在一份客戶報告中表示,,人工智能掀起的“淘金熱”,將使科技股在今年下半年備受追捧,。
他說:“人工智能改變了科技界和投資者的信心,。”他把人工智能對市場的影響稱為“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時刻”,。
但艾夫斯強調(diào),,人工智能熱類似于“1995年的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時刻”,而不是1999年的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)泡沫時刻,。后者是指在投資者向?qū)W⒂诨ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)的公司投入大量資金后,,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)泡沫突然破滅。
艾夫斯寫道:“此次人工智能淘金熱正在開始演變出第二,、第三和第四種衍生品,,改變科技行業(yè)的格局。數(shù)十年來,,我們一直密切關注科技行業(yè),,并且見證了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)泡沫的形成與破滅,因此[我們認為]這是第四次工業(yè)革命的開端,,未來幾年這場革命將在整個科技行業(yè)內(nèi)展開,,但我們認為華爾街依舊低估了它的影響?!?/p>
艾夫斯于6月28日在接受美國消費者新聞與商業(yè)頻道(CNBC)采訪時指出,,他“并不認為這是一個炒作周期”。
Wedbush預測,,到2024年,,人工智能將占IT總預算的10%。相比之下,,2023年人工智能的占比只有1%左右,。艾夫斯預測,基于軟件的人工智能支出將成為全球首席投資官們“關注的焦點”,。
他補充道:“簡而言之,,科技界會出現(xiàn)贏家和輸家,但我們最終會看到科技行業(yè)[今年下半年]會有強勁的表現(xiàn),。雖然熊市會繼續(xù)影響科技公司的估值,而且我們還要面對不確定的宏觀經(jīng)濟環(huán)境,,但我們認為,,在當前人工智能革命的推動下,再加上日趨穩(wěn)定的IT支出環(huán)境,這最終會掀起新一輪科技股牛市,,并將延續(xù)到2024年,。”
一些投資者擔心科技行業(yè)將形成市場泡沫,,并將不可避免破滅,,今年6月的早些時候,艾夫斯在另外一篇報告里反駁了這種觀點,,他表示人工智能繁榮是另外一個“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時刻”,。
2022年晚些時候,OpenAI的ChatGPT生成式人工智能聊天機器人受到全球用戶追捧,,成為一款現(xiàn)象級產(chǎn)品,。之后,大型科技公司紛紛增加在這方面的投入,,微軟(Microsoft),、谷歌(Google)、亞馬遜(Amazon)和百度等爭相發(fā)布產(chǎn)品,,展開激烈競爭,。
科技股反彈
艾夫斯在6月26日的報告中稱,由于科技公司對人工智能方面快速的大規(guī)模投資,,今年意外出現(xiàn)的科技股反彈,,將持續(xù)到今年剩余時間,甚至會出現(xiàn)更大幅度的反彈,。
他寫道:“進入2023年下半年,,隨著投資者進一步消化8,000億美元人工智能支出的影響,以及明年人工智能對軟件,、芯片,、硬件和科技生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的意義,科技行業(yè)將出現(xiàn)更大范圍的反彈,?!?/p>
“我們認為,今年下半年,,在軟件和芯片板塊的帶動下,,科技行業(yè)整體將再上漲12%至15%,大型科技公司依舊是科技股持續(xù)反彈的‘火炬手’,?!?/p>
雖然艾夫斯表示“許多人將從此次人工智能軍備競賽中受益”,但他提到有幾家公司可能大力投資人工智能技術,,因此它們將成為人工智能所帶來的“無限變現(xiàn)機會”的受益者,。
他預測:“在人工智能軍備競賽中,,微軟和英偉達(Nvidia)是顯而易見的市場領導者,但這場競賽將持續(xù)十年之久,,因為我們預測,,除了谷歌以外,甲骨文(Oracle),、亞馬遜,、賽富時(Salesforce)、Palantir,、MongoDB,、蘋果(Apple)、IBM,、Meta,、Adobe、Snowflake,、C3.ai等科技公司以及其他老牌科技公司和小型公司,,未來幾年會在該領域投資數(shù)百億美元?!?/p>
“我們認為,,微軟占據(jù)了獨特的優(yōu)勢,可以在云計算市場搶占市場份額,,未來幾年,,其云計算服務的總體目標市場規(guī)模將增長35%至40%?!?/p>
投資者對人工智能熱意見不一
除了艾夫斯,,顯然還有其他市場觀察者也認為人工智能熱是合理的。
今年5月,,人工智能芯片投資熱使投資者紛紛買入英偉達的股票,,把該公司送進了“萬億美元俱樂部”。該俱樂部的成員包括蘋果,、微軟和谷歌的母公司Alphabet,。
艾夫斯此前預測,微軟對ChatGPT的投資也可能使該科技巨頭的估值大漲,。
此外,,今年6月的早些時候,法國一家僅成立幾周的人工智能公司,,利用人工智能熱融資1.13億美元,,創(chuàng)下歷史紀錄,盡管這家公司還沒有任何產(chǎn)品,,并且剛剛開始招募員工,。
也有投資者采取了更加謹慎的態(tài)度,,而不是直接加入人工智能的潮流。
對沖基金億萬富翁肯·格里芬在最近幾周警告,,人工智能社區(qū)擴大對這項技術的炒作,犯了一個“嚴重的錯誤”,,而ARK Invest的凱西·伍德稱,,人工智能熱讓英偉達的股票“估值過高”。
此外,,TAM Asset Management的首席投資官,、資深投資者詹姆斯·潘尼最近警告,人工智能熱開始“有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)泡沫時代的味道”,。
關于人工智能對人類的廣泛影響,,商業(yè)領袖、技術專家和人工智能專家存在分歧,,人們爭論的是人工智能技術將代表人類的“新生”,,還是人類衰落的源頭。
在近期召開的邀請制的耶魯大學首席執(zhí)行官峰會(Yale CEO Summit)上,,42%的受訪首席執(zhí)行官表示,,他們認為未來五年至十年內(nèi),人工智能有可能摧毀人類,。
不止首席執(zhí)行官們擔心人工智能的快速發(fā)展可能對全世界造成的影響,。
今年3月,有1,100位知名技術專家和人工智能研究人員,,包括埃隆·馬斯克和蘋果的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克等,,發(fā)表了公開信,呼吁暫停開發(fā)強大的人工智能系統(tǒng)六個月,。
三位被譽為“人工智能教父”的著名人工智能技術先鋒,,對超級智能計算機是否會消滅人類,同樣意見不一,。
其中兩位在最近的人工智能熱之后曾經(jīng)公開稱,,他們擔心人工智能被濫用,但第三位“教父”卻表示,,認為人工智能會消滅人類的觀點“是荒謬可笑的”,。(財富中文網(wǎng))

A.I. is a hot commodity right now, causing a tech disruption and pushing companies’ valuations through the roof—but the technology has also been met with skepticism as well as outright fear that it could trigger Armageddon.
While experts are divided on how artificial intelligence will impact stocks, jobs, and the global economy, one tech analyst is doubling down on his view that the A.I. presents a huge opportunity for investors.
Dan Ives, an analyst at Wedbush, said in a note to clients on June 26 that thanks to the A.I “gold rush,” tech stocks would be heating up in the second half of this year.
“A.I. has changed the tech world and investor sentiment,” he said, labeling the technology’s impact on markets as “an internet moment.”
Ives stressed, however, that the A.I. hype was akin to a “1995 internet moment” rather than a 1999 dotcom bubble moment—referring to the tech bubble that burst after investors poured money into internet-focused firms.
“The second, third, and fourth derivatives of this A.I. gold rush are just starting to evolve for the tech landscape,” Ives wrote. “As we have covered the tech sector for decades and saw the dotcom bubble and burst firsthand, [we believe] this is the start of a fourth industrial revolution playing out across tech over the coming years that is still being underestimated by the Street in our opinion.”
In an interview with CNBC on June 28, Ives added that he “does not believe that this is a hype cycle.”
Wedbush has projected that by 2024, A.I. could account for up to 10% of overall IT budgets versus around 1% in 2023. Software-based A.I. spending will become a “l(fā)aser focus” of CIOs around the globe, Ives predicted.
He added: “In a nutshell, there will be winners and losers in tech, but ultimately we see a strong [second half of the year] ahead for the tech sector. While bears will continue to fret about tech valuations and the uncertain macro backdrop, we believe this ultimately is the start of a new tech bull market we see heading into 2024, being driven by this A.I. revolution coupled with a stabilizing IT spending environment.”
Ives has previously declared the A.I. boom another internet moment, bucking some investors’ concerns that the tech is forming a market bubble that will inevitably burst, in a separate note sent earlier June.
Since OpenAI’s ChatGPT generative A.I. chatbot became a phenomenon with users all over the world in late 2022, Big Tech has amped up its own efforts in the space, with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Baidu vying to offer the best competitor.
Broader tech rally
Because of the huge, rapid investments being made in A.I., the unexpected tech rally that has unfolded so far this year will continue to an even greater extent throughout the rest of the year, Ives said in June 26’s note.
“Heading into the second half of 2023, we see a much broader tech rally ahead as investors further digest the ramifications of this $800 billion A.I. spending wave on the horizon and what this means for the software, chip, hardware, and tech ecosystem over the next year,” he wrote.
“We believe overall the tech sector will be up another 12% to 15% in the second half of this year led by software and the chip sector, with Big Tech remaining the ‘torchbearer’ for this tech rally continuing to heat up.”
While Ives noted that “many will benefit in this A.I. arms race,” he named a slew of companies that were likely to make major investments in the technology and therefore be beneficiaries of the “immense monetization opportunity” it represented.
“With Microsoft a clear market leader in the A.I. race along with Nvidia, this battle will be a long one over the next decade as we expect other technology companies besides Google, such as Oracle, Amazon, Salesforce, Palantir, MongoDB, Apple, IBM, Meta, Adobe, Snowflake, C3.ai, and other tech stalwarts along with smaller players in the industry, to collectively spend tens of billions over the coming years,” he predicted.
“We believe that Microsoft is in a unique position to gain share in the cloud market that could expand Redmond’s total addressable market around cloud by 35% to 40% over the coming years.”
A.I. hype divides investors
Ives clearly isn’t the only market watcher to believe that the hype around A.I. is justified.
In May, buzz around A.I. chips saw investors pouring cash into Nvidia shares, pushing the company into the elite “trillion dollar club”—which counts Apple, Microsoft, and Google parent Alphabet among its members.
Ives previously predicted that Microsoft’s investment in ChatGPT could see the tech giant enjoy a similar boost to its valuation.
Meanwhile, a French A.I. firm took advantage of the hype around the tech earlier June to raise a record $113 million just weeks after being founded—despite having no product ready and only just taking on staff.
Other investors have pursued a far more cautious approach, rather than jumping on the A.I. bandwagon.
Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin warned in recent weeks that the A.I. community is making a “terrible mistake” by spreading hype around the technology, while ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood declared that Nvidia’s shares were “priced ahead of the curve” thanks to A.I. excitement.
Meanwhile, veteran investor James Penny, CIO of TAM Asset Management, warned recently that the A.I. hype was starting to “smell like the dotcom era.”
When it comes to A.I.’s wider impact on humanity, business leaders, technologists, and A.I. experts are divided on whether the technology of the moment will serve as a “renaissance” for humanity or the source of its downfall.
At the recent invitation-only Yale CEO Summit, 42% of CEOs surveyed at the event said they believed A.I. has the potential to destroy humanity within the next five to 10 years.
It isn’t just CEOs who are concerned about what rapidly developing artificial intelligence might unleash upon the world.
Back in March, 1,100 prominent technologists and A.I. researchers, including Elon Musk and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak, signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on the development of powerful A.I. systems.
Three famous A.I. pioneers nicknamed the “godfathers of A.I.” are also divided on whether superintelligent computers will bring about the end of mankind.
Two of these three so-called godfathers have, in light of the recent buzz around the technology, publicly stated that they are fearful about artificial intelligence being misused, while the third has called the concept that A.I. will wipe out humans “preposterously ridiculous.”
