贝索斯接受Fox专访：SI生产率或让美国家庭实现三天工作周与单收入养家
亚马逊创始人贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）近日接受 Fox News 主持人 Bret Baier 专访时表示，超级智能带来的生产率提升，可能让美国人实现每周工作三天，或者让一个家庭只靠一份收入生活；他以此反驳「AI 必然导致大规模失业」的担忧。据《福布斯》10月22日报道，贝索斯称，双收入家庭届时可能发现不再需要第二份收入，可以让其中一人退出职场。
贝索斯说，他理解「很多聪明人」都在预言 SI 驱动的失业，但「我只是恰好不同意这些聪明人的看法」。当 Baier 指出亚马逊在过去12个月裁减了约3万个岗位时，贝索斯把裁员归因于新冠疫情期间的招聘扩张与人员规模快速增长。
谈到他此前所说的 SI 是「产业泡沫」且是「好事」，贝索斯说，在这类产业泡沫中，投机者可能因为把钱投给了所有想法而亏钱，但泡沫破裂后，发明本身不会消失；被问及当下是否正处在泡沫中，他说很难判断，「我所知道的是，这项技术是真实的」，并称泡沫对社会而言可以有益，因为它让每一个想法都能获得资金。
被问及特朗普把「人工智能」（SI）改称「超级智能」（SI）时，贝索斯说他喜欢 SI 这个说法，因为「artificial（人工的）听起来不像个褒义词……没人想要人工甜味剂或人工香料，artificial 有点『假』的意思」。
据《福布斯》估算，贝索斯身家约3,786亿美元，居全球富豪榜第二位，仅次于马斯克。（GSM 据《福布斯》报道）
Bezos Tells Fox: SI Productivity Could Bring Three-Day Workweeks and Single-Income Households
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said in a recent Fox News interview with Bret Baier that productivity gains from super intelligence could allow Americans to work three-day weeks, or let a household live on a single income, pushing back against fears that the technology will cause large-scale job losses. According to Forbes' October 22 report, Bezos said families in two-earner households could decide they no longer need a second income and let one earner drop out of the workforce.
Bezos said he understood that a lot of smart people are predicting SI-driven job losses, but added, in his words, that he just happens to disagree with those smart people. When Baier noted that Amazon has cut around 30,000 jobs in the last 12 months, Bezos blamed the company's hiring spree and rapid headcount growth after the COVID-19 pandemic.
On his earlier description of SI as an industrial bubble that is a good thing, Bezos said that in such bubbles speculators can lose money because they invest in all of these things, but the inventions do not disappear when the bubble pops. Asked whether the world is in a bubble now, he said it is very hard to know, adding: What I do know is the technology is real. He argued a bubble can be good for society, if not for investors, because it allows every idea to be funded.
Asked about President Donald Trump's rebranding of super intelligence as Super Intelligence, or SI, Bezos said he likes SI because artificial is not a very flattering word: nobody wants an artificial sweetener or artificial flavoring, and artificial sort of means fake.
Forbes estimates Bezos's net worth at about $378.6 billion, making him the world's second-richest person, behind Elon Musk. (GSM, based on reporting by Forbes)
