Abstract

比尔·盖茨近日发表长文,指出AI动荡时代已经到来,当前的选择至关重要。他认为AI长期看能成为强大的平等工具,推动医疗、教育等领域进步,但社会尚未为即将到来的剧烈转型做好准备。 盖茨的核心忧虑在于“过渡期”:AI正替代认知劳动,这与历史上主要替代体力的技术革命不同。新工作可能少于消失的岗位,企业将用更少人力配合AI完成工作,导致就业市场持续承压。风险已非远虑,AI在编程、网络攻击等领域的能力正跨越危险阈值。 盖茨特别指出,许多流程清晰的白领工作将被更便宜的AI逐步替代。为此,他提出“人类保留领域”概念,即在教育、医疗护理等需要人性关怀的领域,即使AI能做也应保留人的角色。 为应对挑战,盖茨主张改革制度:调整税收(如考虑征收AI与机器人税),以减缓替代速度并筹集社会保障资金;建立适应AI跨领域影响的治理体系;加强职业再培训与国际合作(特别是中美之间)。 文章强调,AI可能成为史上最大的平等器或不公来源,关键在于社会能否公平分配其创造的财富,并有效管理长达10-20年的转型阵痛。当前最迫切的问题并非技术终点,而是社会能否顺利适应这场变革。

8 月 26 日,比尔·盖茨在 Gates Notes 发布了一篇关于 AI 的长文:

The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical.《动荡的 AI 时代已经到来,我们现在做出的选择至关重要》

比尔·盖茨 Gates Notes 原文:

原文核心导语:AI 既可能成为最强的平等工具,也可能成为严重的不公来源。盖茨认为,我们需要现在就开始为这场转型制定计划。

这篇文章可读性非常高。盖茨没有变成 AI 悲观主义者,也没有否定 AI 的长期价值。他仍然相信 AI 会推动医疗、教育、农业、能源、科研等领域取得巨大进展。

但他关注的焦点变了。

过去几年,他谈得更多的是 AI 最终能创造什么。这一次,他花了大量篇幅讨论另一个问题:

从今天走到那个未来,中间会发生什么?

如果把整篇文章压缩成一句话,大概就是:

AI 的长期收益可能极大。但从现在到那个未来之间的“过渡期”,可能成为人类历史上最剧烈的社会转型之一。而我们几乎没有为它建立制度。

盖茨仍然相信 AI 的长期价值。现在让他担心的是:我们怎么熬过中间这十几年。

他在原文里直接写道:“遗憾的是,我们现在并没有为此做准备。”

第一层:盖茨认为,这一次不能简单类比工业革命

这是我认为全文很重要、也很容易被新闻标题遗漏的观点。

过去面对“AI 会不会抢工作”的问题,一个标准回答是:蒸汽机消灭了一些工作,但创造了新工作;互联网也一样,所以 AI 最后也会创造新工作。

盖茨现在对这个类比产生了明显怀疑。以前的技术主要替代体力,或某项具体能力。新工作最终仍然需要人的认知。

AI 的特殊之处在于:它本身正在替代认知劳动。

过去两百年的默认循环

旧工作消失 → 新工作出现 → 人类转移过去

盖茨在原文直接点到了法律、客服、医疗、软件、制造业,随后又列举了销售、软件工程、律师助理、贷款审批、数据分析、患者分诊等工作。

他的判断是:新的工作仍然会出现,但如果缺少合适的政策,未来的岗位数量可能远少于今天。

这个判断比通常所说的“AI 抢工作”考虑得更深。过去两百年,我们默认技术进步最终会创造出更多、更复杂、也更需要人类认知的新工作。

但如果被规模化、被压低成本的,恰恰是“认知能力”本身呢?这个历史经验还成不成立,就开始不确定了。

AI 对就业最大的影响,也未必是某天突然出现大规模失业。更可能的变化是同样一家公司、同样一项业务,未来只需要更少的人。

一个人加几个 Agent,可以完成一个小团队过去才能完成的工作。

岗位不会一夜消失,但新增岗位会减少,团队会变薄,企业越来越不愿意为“可被 AI 完成的认知劳动”支付过去的价格。

第二层:风险已经不是 AGI 之后的问题,而是正在发生

盖茨这次态度变化还有一个重要背景。

他接受 MIT Technology Review 采访时解释为什么偏偏现在站出来。

他认为过去讨论的几个“危险阈值”,实际上已经开始被跨越,包括:生物能力、网络攻击能力、心理与社会影响、就业市场破坏,以及 AI 可控性。

尤其是 Coding。Claude Code、长上下文和 Agentic Coding 的进步,让他意识到 AI 跨过的不只是一个编程能力门槛。

一个能够大规模写代码的 Agent,同时也可能成为强大的网络攻击工具。

AI 能力越强,防守方发现漏洞、修补系统的能力会提高。但攻击者利用同样的能力寻找漏洞、发动攻击的成本也在下降。

盖茨在原文中也提到了这个问题。攻击者获得的新能力正在快速提升,而防守方无法同时修补所有弱点。

能力正在跨线,治理还停留在讨论阶段。

第三层:他最担心的不只是失业,还有“低成本智能替代”

MIT 采访里有一句话,我觉得甚至比正文更值得玩味:

对于定义清晰的工作,AI 更便宜,也会做得更好。

他举的例子非常普通:电话销售、客服、财务部门、月末结账、折扣判断等等。大量流程清晰、规则明确、可以数字化描述的白领工作,会越来越容易被低成本 AI 完成。

这里最关键的词可能不是“替代”,而是:更便宜。

现实很可能不会出现 AI = 1、人类 = 0 的突然切换。可能只是一个部门原来需要 10 个人,现在只需要 6 个。

初级岗位原本需要处理的信息,先由 Agent 完成大部分。一个人的工作时间曾经决定业务扩张速度,现在软件可以并行处理大量任务。

变化的核心是劳动和智能的边际成本。

沿着这个问题继续往下,盖茨提出了一个很少从他口中出现的设想:有些工作,即使 AI 可以完成,社会也许仍然应该把它留给人。

第四层:一个很有意思的新概念——Human Reserved

可以翻译成:“人类保留领域”。盖茨用了一个很形象的类比:自然保护区。

自然保护区当然可以修公路、盖房子。我们选择不这么做,因为失去它的代价太大。Human Reserved 也是类似的逻辑:即使 AI 能做,我们仍然决定让人来做。

这个想法来自他父亲晚年的经历。

盖茨的父亲患有阿尔茨海默病。生命后期,有一群护理人员全天照顾他。有时候,他的父亲已经无法表达自己饿了,但护理人员依然能够理解他。

盖茨写道,这种照护里有某种“不可替代的人性”。教育和心理健康可能采用“人 + AI”的方式,由人承担最终责任,AI 扩展人的能力。

医疗里还有一个例子:技术上,机器人当然可以告诉一个人“你患上了无法治愈的疾病”。盖茨认为,它不应该这么做。

未来“人类工作”的意义,可能不再完全由效率决定。

第五层:因此必须重新设计税收和社会保障

如果 AI 和机器人持续减少劳动需求,现有制度会遇到一个很现实的问题。

现有税基

人工作 → 企业发工资 → 工资缴税

如果越来越多劳动变成:AI / 机器人工作 → 企业获得生产率收益,原来的税基就可能受到影响。

盖茨因此再次提出了 robot tax(机器人税),而且讲得非常直接:

“I believe we should tax AI tokens and robots.”

“我认为,我们应该对 AI token 和机器人征税。”

企业雇佣一个人,需要根据工资缴纳 payroll tax。购买机器人,却通常可以立刻作为业务支出核销。

盖茨认为,现行税制实际上会推动企业更快地用机器替代人。

征税一方面可以稍微减缓企业快速离开人类劳动的速度,另一方面可以为再培训和更强的社会保障体系筹集资金。

这和我之前写《AI 的账单,不只由科技公司买单》时关心的问题,刚好是一枚硬币的两面。

如果这些投入最终真的创造出巨大的生产率收益,收益又会流向谁?

第六层:AI 可能同时成为“最大的平等器”和“最大的不平等制造机”

这是全文的总命题。

“AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice.”

AI 要么成为人类发明过的最强平等工具,要么成为最严重的不公来源。

如果 AI 医疗、AI 教育、AI 农业、AI 科研的边际成本足够低,过去只有富裕地区才能获得的能力,就有机会覆盖更多普通人。

同一种技术也可能放大原有差距。

AI 所有权集中在少数公司。

资本拿走主要的生产率收益。

普通人的劳动价值下降。

富裕地区最先获得 AI 红利。

低收入群体首先承担就业冲击。

所以问题已经不只是:“AI 能不能创造财富?”,还有:“AI 创造出来的财富最终归谁?”

最后,他给出的三类行动方向

第一,建立新的 AI 转型治理体系。

现有政府机构并不是为这样一种横跨就业、国家安全、教育、医疗、税收、能源、金融和网络安全的技术设计的。

第二,主动管理就业冲击。

包括加强社会安全网、职业再培训、调整税制,以及 Human Reserved 这样的非常规方案。

第三,需要国际协调,美国与中国无法缺席。

网络安全、生物风险和模型扩散都会跨越国界。盖茨明确写道,美国和中国之间需要一定程度的合作。

这篇文章最引人热议的观点是他对未来的预测

盖茨讨论的是一个 AI 转型期问题

AI 的终点可能是丰裕,但“丰裕社会”和现在之间,并不存在一条自动平滑的道路。

丰裕社会至少还在十年以后。整个转型过程,则可能持续未来 10—20 年。

Sam Altman、Dario Amodei 等人经常描述 AI 最终可以把生产率推到哪里。盖茨这次讨论的是另一段时间:

从现在到那个丰裕社会之间,到底会发生什么?

       这个问题对普通人比“AGI 什么时候来”更现实,公司不再招聘那么多新人。一个部门开始用 Agent 完成几个人的工作。某些专业服务变得非常便宜。

        新的生产率收益更多流向拥有模型、算力和资本的一方。税收、教育、社会保障和就业制度,却仍然按原来的方式运行。

        这些变化并不需要等到 AGI 出现,一部分已经开始发生。AI 最难的部分,可能也不只是把模型做得足够强。

    技术进入社会以后,还有一个更慢、更难的问题:

我们有没有能力让社会适应它。

Q比尔·盖茨在他的最新长文中,如何看待人工智能(AI)的长期价值和短期挑战?

A比尔·盖茨相信人工智能在医疗、教育、农业、能源和科研等领域具有巨大的长期价值,能推动显著进步。但他担忧从现在到实现那个美好未来之间的‘过渡期’。他认为这个转型期可能成为人类历史上最剧烈的社会变革之一,而目前社会制度、政策和社会保障体系对此几乎没有做好准备,因此他呼吁现在就必须开始为这场转型制定计划。

Q与过去的工业革命相比,盖茨认为AI对就业的影响有什么根本性的不同?

A盖茨认为,不能简单将AI革命类比为过去的工业革命。以往的技术革新主要替代体力或某项具体技能,最终仍会创造出需要人类认知参与的新工作。但AI的特殊之处在于,它正在替代人类的认知劳动本身。这种对‘思考能力’的规模化替代,使得‘旧工作消失→新工作出现→人类转移过去’的历史循环可能不再自动成立。未来,即使有新工作出现,其数量也可能远少于被替代的工作,且企业的用工模式会从‘团队’转向‘个体+AI代理’,导致岗位总量减少,就业结构变薄。

Q在文章中,盖茨提出了“Human Reserved”(人类保留领域)的概念,其核心含义和意义是什么?

A“Human Reserved”可以理解为“人类保留领域”,其核心含义是:即使人工智能在技术上能够完成某些工作,社会也应该主动决定将这些工作保留给人类来做。盖茨用“自然保护区”作为类比,说明保留这些人类工作的价值,类似于保护生态多样性,其意义超越单纯的经济效率。例如,在医疗护理、临终关怀、心理健康和教育等领域,人类的同理心、情感连接和道德判断是AI难以完全替代的。这个概念强调了未来社会中,工作的意义和价值可能不再完全由效率和成本决定,而需要加入人性化的考量。

Q针对AI可能带来的经济社会冲击,盖茨提出了哪些关键的政策建议?

A盖茨提出了几个关键的政策建议:第一,建立新的AI转型治理体系,因为现有政府机构并非为处理这种跨领域的技术影响而设计。第二,主动管理就业冲击,包括加强社会安全网、提供职业再培训、调整税制。他特别提出应考虑征收“机器人税”或“AI token税”,以平衡企业用AI替代人力劳动的经济激励,并为社会保障筹集资金。第三,推动国际协调,尤其是在美国和中国等主要力量之间,以共同应对网络安全、生物风险等跨国界挑战。

Q文章标题指出“AI真正麻烦的,是我们还没准备好”,这具体指的是哪些方面的“没准备好”?

A这里的“没准备好”具体指的是社会在制度、政策和思想层面尚未为AI驱动的剧烈社会转型做好充分准备。主要包括:1. **制度设计**:缺乏专门应对AI跨领域影响的治理框架和协调机构。2. **经济政策**:现有的税收和社会保障体系建立在人力劳动的基础上,未能适应AI和自动化普及后可能导致的税基变化和财富分配新格局。3. **就业安全网**:对大规模职业转型和潜在的结构性失业风险,缺乏有效的再培训和支持体系。4. **国际协作**:对AI带来的全球性风险(如网络安全、生物安全)缺乏强有力的国际合作机制。5. **社会认知**:对于哪些领域应保留人类角色(即“Human Reserved”),以及如何定义AI时代的工作价值,尚未形成广泛共识和行动方案。

From Contract to Cryptocurrency Payment: Sberbank Unveils Legal Scheme for Settlements with Foreigners

Sber Bank plans to launch international business settlements in digital currencies via its SberBusiness app by the end of 2026. The bank's deputy chairman, Anatoly Popov, announced this ahead of the Eastern Economic Forum, stating the goal is to simplify digital currency use for businesses in cross-border trade. The legal basis is Federal Law No. 282-FZ "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights," effective September 1, 2026, which permits foreign trade crypto settlements through licensed intermediaries. A published guide outlines the process: a company signs a contract, transfers rubles to a licensed intermediary, who then buys and sends cryptocurrency to the recipient, with reporting for regulators generated automatically. This service is positioned as an alternative channel for foreign trade, especially where traditional bank transfers face sanctions. Sber aims to integrate crypto payments into standard business tools within SberBusiness, avoiding the need for specialized technical knowledge. Development will depend on the practical application of the new law. From a macro perspective, this initiative is seen not just as a technical innovation but also within the context of sanctions pressure on crypto markets. The article notes that licensed intermediaries could become targets for secondary sanctions, as seen with UK actions against crypto exchanges in summer 2026. The long-term viability of Sber's scheme may depend more on political dynamics than technology, following a historical pattern where new payment channels face regulatory countermeasures.

Don't Trust, Verify: Malicious AI Links Expose a Nightmare Reality for Crypto Industry Workers

Generative AI is becoming increasingly prevalent, with professionals in the digital assets and blockchain space regularly using it. However, this makes them prime targets for attackers seeking to steal sensitive, often irrevocable, information. Refi Hub co-founder Numa Lunah recently reported being "hacked" through a malicious link sent in a chat with the AI model Claude, which appeared to be a legitimate transcription app download. The link installed malware that attempted to steal all his data. While Numa claimed no sensitive data was leaked—as he wiped and reinstalled his laptop's OS—he later discovered a corrupted `SKILL.md` file in his backups, disguised as a style guide. This file contained hidden instructions to reload the malware and steal credentials whenever the AI accessed it. This incident highlights a new attack vector: LLMs providing malicious outputs. Microsoft Defender experts have previously warned about the evolution of cryptojacking attacks from SEO poisoning to "poisoning" LLM responses from models like Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and ChatGPT. Threats include malicious artifacts via context windows, chatbot-recommended download links, fake AI-branded installers, and infected source code or agent skills. For crypto professionals, the risk is heightened because they often manage irreplaceable secrets like seed phrases, private keys, exchange API keys, and wallet data. The article argues that the most dangerous vulnerability is human trust and complacency. A fundamental shift in security culture is needed: treating every AI suggestion as potentially hostile, regardless of its source. This isn't paranoia but a survival necessity. The key takeaway is that the threat lies not in vulnerable code but in the human instinct to trust convenient answers, a flaw no software patch can fix. Numa was saved only because he meticulously reviewed every configuration file before letting the AI interact with it—a level of caution most users likely neglect.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development.

In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
