很多人不知道,硅谷各大 AI 实验室里,最核心的科学家有一大批来自欧洲顶尖高校。
欧洲从来不缺聪明的大脑,也不缺深厚的工业数据底座,但为什么就是长不出自己的 AI 科技巨头?
黄仁勋对德国总理说的那句“行业不发展,监管有什么用”,戳中的正是欧洲人才外流的死穴。
当一个年轻的极客在欧洲创业,他面对是监管机构层出不穷的审查表、数据限制和合规红线。
当创新的成本高过创新的收益,用脚投票就成了唯一的选择。
于是,欧洲花重金培养出的顶尖大脑纷纷飞往大洋彼岸,去帮美国人训练大模型、造芯片;而留在欧洲本土的,则是成群结队的法务专家和监管官僚。
如果欧洲再不从这种官僚主义的迷梦中醒来,未来他们能监管的,就只剩别人吃剩的技术残羹了。
German chancellor Merz asks Jensen Huang for advice on how Europe should regulate AI.
Jensen: “You can’t regulate if there’s no technology.”
“The technology industry must invent the technology for safety. […] Safety is not hopes and dreams. Safety is technology and engineering. Second, the companies need to have best practices. […] And then lastly there’s industrial and government regulations. […] Regulating the internet is hard, but regulating internet applications is not so hard. We should be regulating the applications right way. […] There’s nothing to regulate if the industry doesn’t thrive. You want the German AI industry to thrive as well as do it safely, responsibly. […] We know there’s technology we can invent and deploy in order to have AI safety. We know that there are best practices that we can adhere to as companies and industries. And then in addition to that, if necessary, we’ll make sure we regulate.”
