What Do Rising Costs, AI Job Losses and War Have in Common?

Three Big Problems. One Human Response: Love Intelligence. We are living through three powerful sources of anxiety: Rising cost of living. In Singapore, consumer prices were 2.3% higher year-on-year in August 2026, with recent energy and transport-related increases adding pressure.  Fear of losing jobs to AI. The evidence is more nuanced than “AI is taking all our jobs”: the ILO says large-scale displacement remains limited so far, but AI is reshaping work and increasing the importance of higher-order cognitive, socio-emotional, adaptability and human-agency skills.  War and geopolitical uncertainty. The Iran conflict continues to affect energy, shipping and businesses globally, while diplomacy remains uncertain. These look like three completely different problems. But perhaps they share one question: How should human beings respond when the world becomes more uncertain? My answer is Love Intelligence: Care, Courage and Connection. CARE when costs rise. Don't simply complai...

How to Save 14% When Fares Rise 7% — with SuperME

Singapore's public transport fares will rise by 7% from 26 December 2026 . Adult card fares will increase by 12–13 cents per journey. Most people will ask:  "Why are fares going up again?" A SuperME asks a different question: "What can I do so that I actually spend less?" That is the difference between reacting to change and unleashing yourself through change . Don't Accept +7%. Turn It into −14%. Suppose you currently spend $100 a month on transport.  A 7% increase could turn that into $107. But instead of accepting $107, set yourself a SuperME Challenge : Reduce your original $100 spending by 14% to $86. That means finding $21 of smarter choices compared with simply continuing your old travelling habits after the fare increase. How? Walk instead of taking a bus for short journeys.  Combine appointments so that you make fewer trips.  Use Singapore's distance-fare transfer rules intelligently. Travel before the morning peak when practical—commuters tapp...

Trump Says Will Hit Iran Very Hard, Sun Tzu said War Ending Soon

When President Donald Trump states that the U.S. will hit Iran "very hard" but that the conflict will end "very soon, one way or the other", it sounds like typical political bluster. However, viewed through the lens of Sun Tzu's The Art of War , this dynamic actually reflects classic strategic principles of endgame pressure, economic strangulation, and forcing an opponent's collapse. Translated for a layman, here is why a strategic analysis using Sun Tzu suggests the conflict is nearing a tipping point: 1. "All Warfare is Based on Deception" (The Strategy of Maximum Pressure) Sun Tzu’s Principle: Sun Tzu teaches that when you are strong, you should appear formidable, and you must break the enemy’s resistance without actually having to destroy everything, if possible. The Layman Translation: Trump’s public declarations and military positioning (such as moving additional carrier groups and threatening severe strikes) are designed to convince Tehra...

Why Your Favorite Neighborhood Shops Are Empty

Why Your Favorite Neighborhood Shops Are Empty (And Why They Won't Stay That Way) Have you walked down your local high street recently and felt a pang of sadness? Block after block, once-vibrant storefronts sit empty with dusty windows, "For Rent" signs, or strange pop-up displays. It feels like every neighborhood favorite is disappearing, replaced by hollow ghosts of commerce. If you have ever asked yourself, "Why would a landlord rather let a shop sit empty for two years than just lower the rent?" you are touching on a strange quirk of modern finance. But don't despair, while the system looks broken, history and basic economics tell us that market forces always win in the end. The Mystery of the Stubborn Landlord To understand why shops stay empty, you have to look at how landlords borrow money. Many commercial buildings are tied to massive bank loans. When a bank lends money, it bases the loan amount on how much rent the building is supposed to make on ...

不必太羡慕别人的婚姻

婚姻到最后,靠的不是爱情,而是爱的智慧 其实,我们不必太羡慕别人的婚姻。 朋友圈里的恩爱,未必就是婚姻的全部。 两个人生活十年、二十年、三十年,怎么可能永远保持最初的新鲜感? 人会变。 身体会变,事业会变,环境会变,需求也会变。 外面的诱惑不会消失,生活的压力也不会因为结婚多年而减少。 所以真正困难的,从来不是 爱上一个人 。 而是: 爱了很多年以后,还懂不懂得继续爱这个人。 有些夫妻到了中年,已经不是在相爱,而是在 相熬 。 熬到不想争了。 熬到彼此妥协。 熬到孩子长大。 熬到最后,甚至已经不知道留下来究竟是因为爱、责任、习惯,还是害怕改变。 可是,婚姻一定只能靠“熬”吗? 我不这么认为。 真正能够走得长久的关系,需要的不是永远有感觉,而是两个人都有能力 经营爱 。 这就是 爱的智慧(LQ) 。 关爱 Care ——相处几十年以后,仍然愿意看见对方的需要,而不是把一切视为理所当然。 勇气 Courage ——关系出了问题,敢说真话、敢面对、敢改变,而不是用沉默把问题埋起来。 连接 Connection ——即使每天见面,仍然愿意重新认识对方,进行深度对话,让两颗心不要越走越远。 所以婚姻真正要经营的,不只是对方。 更是 自己的内心 。 少一点计较,多一点理解。 少一点“为什么他不爱我”,多一点“我还有没有好好地爱?” 因为婚姻最大的危机,往往不是两个人不再住在一起。 而是: 两个人还睡在同一张床上,心却已经分开很多年。 爱情让两个人走在一起。 责任可能让两个人留下来。 但真正能够让两个人走得久、走得好,而且一起成长的, 是爱的智慧。

No Love in Marriage? Have Love Intelligence

Marriage Ultimately Depends Not on Love, but Love Intelligence We don't really need to envy other people's marriages. The loving photos we see on social media rarely tell the whole story. When two people live together for 10, 20 or 30 years, how can everything possibly remain as exciting as when they first fell in love? People change.  Our bodies change. Careers change. Circumstances change. Needs change. Temptations don't disappear just because we are married, and neither do the pressures of life. So perhaps the hardest part of marriage isn't falling in love with someone . It is this: After loving someone for many years, do you still know how to love that person? Some marriages eventually become less about living together and more about enduring each other .  We endure until we stop arguing. We endure until we compromise.  We endure until the children grow up. And eventually, we may not even know whether we are staying because of love, responsibility, habit, or simply ...

顾问委员会的五大误区与真相:为什么你的企业可能需要一个?

顾问委员会的五大误区与真相:为什么你的企业可能需要一个? 许多企业需要专业知识、人脉资源和独立视角,却还没有必要增聘高级管理人员或增加正式董事。 顾问委员会(Advisory Board)或许正是答案。然而,很多企业对它仍存在误解。 误区一:只有大企业才需要顾问委员会 真相:成长型企业可能更需要。 中小企业通常缺乏某些专业能力,例如财务、AI、企业治理、可持续发展、国际市场开拓和接班规划。 顾问委员会让企业无需全职聘请多名高管,也能获得这些经验和资源。 误区二:顾问委员会就是另一个董事会 真相:两者的角色完全不同。 董事会拥有正式决策权,并承担相应的法律责任。 顾问委员会则提供建议、挑战假设,并提出行动方案;最终决策权仍然属于董事会或管理层。 误区三:成立顾问委员会一定很贵 真相:可以根据企业的需要和预算灵活设计。 顾问可以按年、按次或以股权方式获得报酬,也可以采用组合模式。 一个目标明确、由三名成员组成的顾问委员会,成本可能远低于聘请多名高级管理人员;它帮助企业避免的一次重大错误,甚至可能已经足以抵消全部费用。 误区四:顾问委员会必须由名人组成 真相:相关性比知名度更重要。 最好的顾问未必是名气最大的人,而是能够理解企业挑战、提出尖锐问题、提供互补经验,并愿意投入时间的人。 误区五:顾问委员会能够解决企业的一切问题 真相:管理层愿意聆听并采取行动,顾问才能创造价值。 顾问委员会无法拯救模糊的战略、软弱的领导或低效的执行。 它能否发挥作用,取决于是否拥有清晰目标、真实信息、聚焦的会议,以及会议后的持续跟进。 为什么你的企业可能需要一个? 如果企业正面对以下情况,就值得考虑成立顾问委员会: 进入新的市场或行业 引进AI或其他新技术 融资或准备扩大业务 加强财务治理与风险管理 规划接班或推动家族企业专业化 面对超出管理团队现有经验的重大决策 好的顾问委员会不会替你经营企业。 它帮助你看见自己看不见的,取得自己没有的,并在一切太迟之前,作出更好的决定。

Top 5 Myths and Truths About Advisory Boards

Top 5 Myths and Truths About Advisory Boards—and Why You May Need One Many companies need expertise, connections and independent perspectives—but are not ready to hire more senior executives or appoint additional directors. An Advisory Board may be the answer. Yet many businesses misunderstand how it works. Myth 1: Advisory Boards Are Only for Large Corporations Truth: Smaller businesses may benefit even more. Growing companies often lack specialised expertise in areas such as finance, AI, governance, sustainability, international expansion and succession. An Advisory Board gives them access to experienced people without employing them full-time. Myth 2: An Advisory Board Is Another Board of Directors Truth: The two perform different roles. A Board of Directors has formal decision-making powers and legal responsibilities. An Advisory Board offers advice, challenges assumptions and recommends possible actions—but management retains the final authority. Myth 3: Advisory Boards Are Expe...

我们到底在维持谁的永续?车资涨7%

当生活成本涨得比薪水快,我们如何做到“财务永续”? 新加坡最近的公共交通车资调整,让我们看到一个值得思考的问题: 什么才是真正的财务永续? 从2026年12月27日起,新加坡公共交通车资整体上调 7% 。其中一个重要考虑,是工资、能源及营运成本上升,以及维持公共交通体系长期的 财务永续 。 这听起来合理。 但是,它也带出了另一个更贴近每个人的问题: 如果公共交通因为成本上涨,需要提高车资来维持财务永续,那么当我们的生活成本涨得比薪水快时,我们的财务永续怎么办? 什么是“财务永续”? 财务永续,不是今天有钱付账单就够了。 它真正的意思是: 长期拥有足够并持续的收入与资源,应付不断发生的开支,而不需要一直消耗自己的储蓄和未来。 对公共交通系统来说,如果工资、电力、维修及其他营运成本不断上涨,而收入没有相应增加,长期当然难以维持。 个人其实也一样。 假设你的薪水增加3%,但是生活成本增加5%。 表面上,你赚得比去年多了。 实际上,你的 购买力却下降了 。 你当然可以省钱。 但是省钱也有极限。 我们不可能每年都吃少一点、用少一点、出门少一点,不断降低自己的生活品质。 到了某个程度, 连“省钱”本身都变得不可持续。 那么,我们如何做到财务永续? 基本上有三个方向。 第一,花得更好。 减少浪费,把钱用在真正能够创造价值的地方。 第二,赚得更好。 如果成本长期涨得比收入快,我们就必须提升自己的赚钱能力——提升技能、提高生产力、发展事业,甚至创造新的收入来源。 第三,建立财务韧性。 储蓄、适当投资和建立安全缓冲,让一次意外开支不会马上变成财务危机。 但公共交通的例子,其实还带出了一个更深层的问题。 我们到底在维持谁的永续? 如果公共交通经营者需要不断提高车资才能维持财务永续,而乘客的收入却追不上车资和其他生活成本的上涨,那么: 永续的问题并没有消失。 只是部分压力从一个人, 转移给另一个人。 所以,真正的永续不能只看一个单位。 公共交通的永续,需要同时考虑经营者、员工、乘客、纳税人与政府。 企业的永续,也不能只看股东利润,还必须考虑员工、客户、供应商与社会。 个人的财务永续,则必须平衡 今天的生活与明天的保障 。 真正的财务永续,不是把不断上涨的成本一直转嫁给别人。 而是不断寻找新的方法: 让我们创造价值的速度,长期超过消耗资源的速度。 所以下一次,当我们听到有人说: “这是为了财...

Whose Sustainability Are We Sustaining? Transport Fares Up by 7%

How to Have Financial Sustainability When Costs Rise More Than Wage Increase? Singapore’s recent public transport fare increase provides a useful lesson about financial sustainability, not only for transport operators, but for every one of us. From 27 December 2026, public transport fares will increase by 7% overall . The Public Transport Council explained that the adjustment reflects factors including wage, energy and other operating costs. At the same time, the Government is providing additional subsidies to moderate the increase for commuters. Why? One reason is financial sustainability . But that raises another question: If public transport needs higher fares because its costs are rising, what happens to commuters whose own costs are rising faster than their wages? What is Financial Sustainability? Financial sustainability is not simply having enough money today. It means: Having sufficient recurring income and resources to meet your recurring costs over the long term, without cont...

让“永续”永续下去

让“永续”永续下去 最简单来说, 永续,就是一件事情能够长期持续,而不会耗尽或破坏让它得以继续的条件。 这远远不只是ESG或环保。 一家公司今年可能赚很多钱,但如果它把员工累垮、失去客户信任,或承担过度风险,这样的利润还能持续多久? 一个人每天工作16个小时,也许能创造惊人的成绩。但如果最后牺牲了健康、人际关系,甚至失去继续工作的能力,这种成功又能持续多久? 所以,永续真正的核心是: 让价值创造能够持续下去。 但是,我们能让“永续”永续下去吗? 企业可以推出永续计划、减少碳排放、关注员工福祉、发布ESG报告,甚至制定负责任的AI原则。 但是, 三年后呢? 管理层换了。利润下降了。员工失去热情。新科技出现了。股东要求更快的回报。 企业还会坚持吗? 这就是**“做永续” 与 “让永续持续下去”**的区别。 永续问:“这件事能不能继续?” 让永续持续则问:“当环境改变,我们为什么还会继续做对的事?” 为什么“让永续持续”更重要? 想想运动。 运动一次当然有益,甚至连续拼命运动一个月,也会看到成果。 但真正的价值,是建立一种能够让你 运动十年、二十年,甚至一辈子 的生活方式。 永续也是如此。 种一次树不够,重要的是长期保护生态。 生意好的时候善待员工很容易;利润下滑时,是否仍然尊重员工,才是真正的考验。 没有代价的时候坚持道德也不难。 当做对的事情需要付出代价时,你是否仍然坚持——这才是真正的考验。 这正是 爱的智慧(LQ)3C 能够帮助我们让永续持续下去的地方: Care 关爱——让我们有理由坚持。 Courage 勇气——困难的时候,仍然敢于坚持。 Connection 连接——让彼此都有继续走下去的理由。 永续不是终点。 真正的挑战,是让“永续”本身永续下去。 而最终的目标,是: 不断创造值得持续的价值——为自己、为他人,也为这个世界。

Sustaining Sustainability is More Important than Sustainability

What exactly is sustainability? At its simplest, sustainability means being able to continue something over time without exhausting or destroying what makes it possible. This is broader than ESG or the environment. A company may make profits this year, but if it burns out its people, loses customer trust or takes excessive risks, those profits may not be sustainable. A person may work 16 hours every day and achieve extraordinary results. But if that destroys their health, relationships or ability to continue performing, that way of working is not sustainable. So sustainability is really about continuity of value creation . But can we sustain sustainability? A company can launch a sustainability initiative. It can reduce emissions, introduce employee-wellbeing programmes, publish an ESG report or adopt responsible AI principles. But what happens three years later? Management changes. Profits fall. Employees lose interest. The sustainability team changes. A new technology arrives. Shareh...

AI时代,什么都可以造出来,你还能相信谁?

今天,几乎任何人,都可以创造任何东西。 AI可以几秒钟写出一篇专业文章,可以生成不存在的人像,可以模仿声音、制作视频、写歌、设计广告。 甚至可以让一个普通人,看起来像专家。 所以未来真正的问题,已经不是: “这个东西能不能做出来?” 而是: “这个东西,我能相信吗?” 更重要的是: “这个人,我能相信吗?” AI让创造越来越便宜,信任却越来越贵 当每个人都能做出漂亮的内容, 漂亮就不再稀缺。 当每个人都能说得头头是道, 知识也不再是最大的差异。 当每个人都能塑造一个“成功的自己”,我们最终看的,就不是你的包装,而是你的 为人 。 竞争优势正在改变: 从 你能创造什么 ,变成 别人是否相信你 。 从 知识 ,变成 诚信 。 从 流量 ,变成 信任 。 那么,我们到底相信谁? 不是AI用得最好的人。 而是那些: 说的话和做的事一致的人。 不知道的时候,敢说: “我不知道。” 犯错的时候,敢承认: “我错了。” 利益当前,仍然愿意做正确的事。 面对别人,不只是想着: “我可以从你身上得到什么?” 而是: “我可以为你创造什么价值?” 所以很有意思—— AI越先进,一个非常古老的东西,反而越值钱: 做一个好人。 这也是我所说的 爱的智慧(LQ) 。 关爱 Care ——你是真的关心别人,还是只关心交易? 勇气 Courage ——说真话会吃亏的时候,你还敢不敢说? 连接 Connection ——你有没有长期建立一种关系,让别人真正知道你是怎样的人? AI可以帮你创造内容, 却不能替你累积几十年的诚信。 AI可以模仿你的声音, 却不能替你建立信誉。 AI可以包装你的形象, 但你的为人,只能靠自己。 所以,AI时代最大的竞争优势,也许不是AI。 而是两个字: 信任 如何建立信任? 其实很简单: 做真人。做好人。做好事。一直做。 因为当所有东西都可以被制造出来的时候, 最难复制的,不是你的知识。 而是你这个人。

Reason I Seldom Use AI to Create My Photos

In an AI World Where Anyone Can Create Anything, Who Can You Trust? Today, almost anyone can create almost anything. AI can write an impressive article in seconds.  It can create beautiful photographs of people who never existed. It can clone voices, generate videos, compose music, design advertisements and make ordinary people appear to be experts. Soon, the question may no longer be: “Can this be created?”   Almost certainly, it can. The more important question becomes: “Can I trust it?” And even more importantly: “Can I trust YOU?” AI Makes Creation Cheap. Trust Becomes Expensive. When everyone can produce professional-looking content, appearance becomes less valuable. When everyone can sound knowledgeable, knowledge alone becomes less differentiating. When anyone can create the image of success, reputation becomes more important than presentation. The competitive advantage therefore shifts. From what you can create to whether people believe you . From information to i...

朱高炽的爱的智慧

身体很弱,却让大明变得更强 朱高炽的爱的智慧 历史上的强大皇帝,往往让人想到征战、扩张和丰功伟绩。 但明仁宗 朱高炽 很不一样。 他肥胖、体弱、行动不便,而且只当了不到一年的皇帝。 然而,就是这位看起来“不强”的皇帝,却帮助大明走向后来著名的**“仁宣之治”**。 他的父亲朱棣留下了许多辉煌成就:迁都北京、郑和下西洋、军事远征。 但辉煌,也需要百姓付出代价。 朱高炽上台后,开始改变方向。 他减少一些耗费巨大的项目,减轻赋税和徭役,赈济灾民,让流离失所的农民回乡,并重新重用有能力的文臣。 他的思维很简单: 国家强不强,不只是看皇帝做了多少大事,而是看老百姓过得好不好。 这让我想到今天河南的 胖东来 。 很多企业问: “怎样从员工和顾客身上得到更多?” 胖东来却反过来问: “怎样让员工和顾客过得更好,同时把企业做好?” 两者相隔600多年,环境完全不同,却有一个共同点: 不要为了成就伟大,而把人榨干。 这就是我所理解的 爱的智慧(LQ) 。 关爱 Care ——看见人民真正的需要。 勇气 Courage ——敢于改变过去看似成功的做法。 连接 Connection ——听取人才意见,让上下同心。 朱高炽在位时间很短,但他的儿子朱瞻基大体延续了这一方向,形成历史上著名的 仁宣之治 。 所以,朱高炽真正值得我们记住的,不是他的身体有多弱。 而是: 弱的是身体,强的是仁心。 无论治理一个国家,还是经营一家企业,真正伟大的领导者,不一定是创造最大版图、最高销售额的人。 而是因为他的存在,让更多人过上更好的生活。 这,也许就是领导者最高境界的 爱的智慧 。

An Emperor that Cannot Walk properly made Chinese Human

The Weak Emperor Who Made the Ming Dynasty Stronger What Zhu Gaochi and Pang Dong Lai Teach Us About Love Intelligence When we imagine a great Chinese emperor, we imagine someone powerful:  Strong body,  Strong army,  Great conquests and  Magnificent achievements. Ming's 4th Emperor, Zhu Gaochi(朱高炽), the Hongxi Emperor(明仁宗), looked almost like the opposite. He was born obese, suffered poor health and had difficulty walking. His father, the formidable Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, was far more attracted to military strength, while Zhu Gaochi gravitated toward scholars, administration and Confucian government. And after finally becoming emperor, Zhu Gaochi ruled for less than one year , from 1424 to 1425. Yet that short reign helped change the direction of the Ming dynasty. His Father Built Great Things. Zhu Gaochi Asked: Who Is Paying for Them? Yongle's reign produced extraordinary achievements: military campaigns, Beijing's development as the imperial capital and Zheng He's...

The Board Will Never Catch Up with AI, and It Doesn't Have to

The Board Will Never Catch Up with AI — And It Doesn't Have To To Govern AI, Understand the Humans Who Use It AI is advancing faster than most boards can possibly follow. By the time directors understand today's AI, tomorrow's technology has arrived. So how can a board govern something it struggles to keep up with? Perhaps we are asking the wrong question. Boards don't need to understand AI better than the technologists. They need to understand humans better than the technology. Because ultimately, one of the biggest risks of AI is not simply what AI can do. It is what humans will choose to do with it. The Real AI Risk May Be Human Imagine management presents an AI-generated forecast showing that a major investment will deliver excellent returns. The board could ask:  "How accurate is the AI model?" Important question. But perhaps the more important questions are: Who chose the assumptions? Is management using AI to challenge its thinking, or to justify a deci...

中秋真正要圆的,从来不是月亮

中秋真正要圆的,从来不是月亮 今晚,我们赏月、吃月饼、点灯笼。 但中秋节真正要庆祝的,也许从来不是月亮。 月亮,只是在提醒我们:有些人,不要等失去了,才想起珍惜。 一、惜缘——珍惜还在身边的人 父母会老,孩子会长大,朋友也会渐渐走远。 我们总以为还有下一次。 下一次吃饭,下一次见面,下一次再好好说话。 可是人生最残酷的地方,就是—— 有些“下一次”,真的不会来。 所以,中秋提醒我们: 人在,缘就在。人在,就要珍惜。 二、团圆——不是人在一起,而是心在一起 一家人可以住在同一个屋檐下,却很久没有真正说过心里话。 夫妻可以结婚30年,却不知道对方最近累不累、怕什么、心里藏着什么。 今年中秋,不要只是送月饼。 找一个你爱的人,坐下来,问一句: “你最近,真的过得好吗?” 然后不要急着给建议。 只是好好听。 有时候,一个人最需要的,不是答案。 而是终于有人愿意听懂他的心。 三、圆满——有些关系,值得我们先走一步 也许有一个人,你很想念,却很久没有联系。 也许有一句“谢谢”,一直没有说。 也许有一句“对不起”,藏在心里很多年。 也许你们都在等对方先开口。 为什么一定要等? 真正的圆满,不是所有事情都完美。 而是我们还有机会的时候,愿意把没有说的话说出来,把疏远的心重新拉近。 这就是 爱的智慧(LQ) : 关爱(Care)——记得那些重要的人。 勇气(Courage)——愿意先走一步。 连接(Connection)——让两颗疏远的心,再次靠近。 所以今晚,当你抬头看月亮时,也看看身边的人。 因为中秋真正要圆的, 从来不是天上的月亮,而是我们心中那一份没有完成的爱。 月有阴晴圆缺,人有聚散离合。 趁人还在,趁爱还来得及——好好爱。

Nothing To Do with the Moon

3 Reasons Why We Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival — And They Have Nothing to Do with the Moon Tonight, millions of people will look at the full moon, eat mooncakes and light lanterns. But perhaps Mid-Autumn Festival was never really about the moon. The moon is only a reminder. A reminder of three things we easily forget. 1. To Remember — 惜缘 Life moves quickly. Parents grow older. Children grow up. Friends drift apart. Mid-Autumn reminds us: Don't wait until someone is gone before remembering how important they were. Treasure the people who are still here. 2. To Reconnect — 团圆 团圆 is more than sitting at the same dinner table. You can live in the same house for 30 years and still be emotionally miles apart. This Mid-Autumn, don't just share a mooncake. Share a conversation.  Ask someone you love: “你最近真的过得好吗?” “How are you, really?” Then listen. 3. To Repair — 圆满 There may be someone you love but haven't spoken to properly for months or years. Someone you misunderstood.  Someone ...

AI没提高你的生产力,除非你

AI省下了时间,然后呢? AI时代最大的问题,已经不是: “我们会不会用AI?” 而是: “当AI越来越能取代人的工作,人怎么办?” 这里有一个很矛盾的问题。 企业不断培训员工使用AI,提高生产力。但如果所谓的“提高生产力”,最终只是意味着 公司需要更少的人 ,员工为什么要积极学习一种可能减少自己工作机会的工具? 所以,我们必须重新思考: 什么才是真正的AI生产力? 假设过去需要20个人完成的工作,现在10个人加上AI就能完成。 对企业来说,成本降低了,账面上的生产力也提高了。 但这只是故事的一半。 如果另外10个人失业,又无法找到新的、有价值的工作,整个社会同时失去了他们的 收入、消费能力、技能和未来可能创造的价值 。 所以: 降低成本,创造的是效率。 创造新价值,带来的才是进步。 AI真正的机会,不应该只是“少请几个人”,而是把AI释放出来的 时间、人才和资源,重新投入价值创造。 如果AI每天帮我省下两个小时,我要问: 这两个小时,我拿来做什么? 只是少工作两个小时? 还是裁掉一个人的工作? 或者利用这两个小时: 开拓新市场、开发新产品、改善客户体验、创造新的商业模式,甚至解决过去解决不了的社会问题? 例如人口老龄化、生育率下降、医疗、教育、永续发展等。 这才是真正值得追求的AI革命。 所以,CEO、HR和董事会不应该只问: “AI可以帮我们省多少钱?” 更应该问: “AI释放出来的人类能力,可以为我们创造什么新的价值?” 因为未来真正优秀的企业,不是利用AI让人变得更便宜。 而是 让AI使人变得更有价值。 省时间,不等于生产力。 把省下来的时间变成价值,才是真正的AI生产力。
