观点:这是华尔街目前最大的泡沫——而且我不是在谈论人工智能 (AI)
IonQ、RigettiComputing、D-WaveQuantum 和 QuantumComputingInc. 等量子计算公司的股价在过去一年中飙升至 3,170%。尽管潜力巨大,但这些技术仍处于早期开发阶段,可能需要数年时间才能实现有意义的商业化,这引发了人们对当前估值的担忧。这些股票的快速增长是由对未来效用的感知、与亚马逊和微软等科技巨头的合作以及对错过机会的恐惧(FOMO)推动的。然而,历史趋势表明,如此快速的升值往往会导致泡沫,由于估值过高和商业可行性的不确定性,泡沫可能在不久的将来破裂。
观点:这是华尔街目前最大的泡沫——而且我不是在谈论人工智能 (AI) |杂七杂八的傻瓜
量子计算股票的快速上涨,年回报率高达3170%,正在为即将到来的市场崩盘奠定基础。尽管这些公司在人工智能、药物开发、网络安全、天气建模和金融方面具有潜在的应用前景,但它们缺乏支持其高估值的可靠数据。造成这种泡沫的因素包括现实世界的用例、与亚马逊和微软等主要科技公司的合作关系以及投资者的 FOMO(害怕错过)。历史趋势表明,每一项下一代重大技术都经历了早期爆发,量子计算也不例外,因为其发展阶段和不确定的商业可行性。由于估值比率远远超过历史正常水平,这些股票在下一次市场低迷期间将面临高风险。

These highlight the need for greater resilience in应对AI领域的灰天鹅事件,包括恶意使用带来的安全威胁、知识产权问题的法律挑战以及可能破坏市场稳定的技术突破。这些风险强调了建立更强韧性的必要性, 最终版本: Grey swans represent foreseeable risks like security threats from malicious AI use, legal challenges over IP rights, and disruptive technological advancements. These highlight the need for greater resilience in dealing with AI's unpredictable future. The term âblack swanâ refers to a shocking event on nobodyâs radar until it actually happens. This has become a byword in risk analysis since a book called The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb was published in 2007. A frequently cited example is the 9/11 attacks. Fewer people have heard of â grey swans â. Derived from Talebâs work , grey swans are rare but more foreseeable events. That is, things we know could have a massive impact, but we donât (or wonât) adequately prepare for. COVID was a good example: precedents for a global pandemic existed, but the world was caught off guard anyway. Although he sometimes uses the term , Taleb doesnât appear to be a big fan of grey swans. Heâs previously expressed frustration that his concepts are often misused, which can lead to sloppy thinking about the deeper issues of truly unforeseeable risks. But itâs hard to deny there is a spectrum of predictability, and itâs easier to see some major shocks coming. Perhaps nowhere is this more obvious than in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). Putting our eggs in one basket Increasingly, the future of the global economy and human thriving has become tied to a single technological story: the AI revolution. It has turned philosophical questions about risk into a multitrillion-dollar dilemma about how we align ourselves with possible futures. US tech company Nvidia, which dominates the market for AI chips, recently surpassed US$5 trillion (about A$7.7 trillion) in market value. The âMagnificent Sevenâ US tech stocks â Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla â now make up about 40% of the S&P 500 stock index . The impact of a collapse for these companies â and a stock market bust â would be devastating at a global level, not just financially but also in terms of dashed hopes for progress . Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, which has become the worldâs most valuable company. Lee Jin-man/AP AIâs grey swans There are three broad categories of risk â beyond the economic realm â that could bring the AI euphoria to an abrupt halt. Theyâre grey swans because we can see them coming but arguably donât (or wonât) prepare for them. 1. Security and terror shocks AIâs ability to generate code, malicious plans and convincing fake media makes it a force multiplier for bad actors . Cheap, open models could help design drone swarms, toxins or cyber attacks. Deepfakes could spoof military commands or spread panic through fake broadcasts. Arguably, the closest of these risks to a âwhite swanâ â a foreseeable risk with relatively predictable consequences â stems from Chinaâs aggression toward Taiwan . The worldâs biggest AI firms depend heavily on Taiwanâs semiconductor industry for the manufacture of advanced chips. Any conflict or blockade would freeze global progress overnight. 2. Legal shocks Some AI firms have already been sued for allegedly using text and images scraped from the internet to train their models. One of the best-known examples is the ongoing case of The New York Times versus OpenAI , but there are many similar disputes around the world. If a major court were to rule that such use counts as commercial exploitation, it could unleash enormous damages claims from publishers, artists and brands. A few landmark legal rulings could force major AI companies to press pause on developing their models further â effectively halting the AI build-out. 3. One breakthrough too many: innovation shocks Innovation is usually celebrated, but for companies investing in AI, it could be fatal. New AI technology that autonomously manipulates markets (or even news that one is already doing so) would make current financial security systems obsolete. And an advanced, open-source, free AI model could easily vaporise the profits of todayâs industry leaders. We got a glimpse of this possibility in Januaryâs DeepSeek dip , when details about a relatively cheaper, more efficient AI model developed in China caused US tech stocks to plummet. Artificial intelligence investment has driven remarkable growth on stock markets. Seth Wenig/AP Why we struggle to prepare for grey swans Risk analysts, particularly in finance, often talk in terms of historical data. Statistics can give a reassuring illusion of consistency and control . But the future doesnât always behave like the past. The wise among us apply reason to carefully confirmed facts and are sceptical of market narratives . Deeper causes are psychological: our minds encode things efficiently , often relying on one symbol to represent very complex phenomena. It takes us a long time to remodel our representations of the world into believing a looming big risk is worth taking action over â as weâve seen with the worldâs slow response to climate change . How can we deal with grey swans? Staying aware of risks is important. But what matters most isnât prediction. We need to design for a deeper sort of resilience that Taleb calls â antifragility â. Taleb argues systems should be built to withstand â or even benefit from â shocks, rather than rely on perfect foresight. For policymakers, this means ensuring regulation, supply chains and institutions are built to survive a range of major shocks. For individuals, it means diversifying our bets, keeping options open and resisting the illusion that history can tell us everything. Above all, the biggest problem with the AI boom is its speed. It is reshaping the global risk landscape faster than we can chart its grey swans. Some may collide and cause spectacular destruction before we can react.
