AI、工具与转型 — Benedict Evans
退一步看，我认为，每当出现一项颠覆性新技术时，每家公司都必须提出三类问题：第一，我们应如何采购、构建与部署这项技术？是否应开展试点？应采用 Microsoft/Google/Oracle 打包提供的产品，自行构建，委托他人构建，还是向初创公司采购这一全新事物？第二，他们必须追问这项技术在多大程度上改变了其运营方式——这意味着什么？
原始摘录
Stepping back, it seems to me that with each new transformative technology, every company has to ask three kinds of questions. First, how do we buy, build and deploy this? Do we do pilots? Should we take the product that's bundled from Microsoft/Google/Oracle, build something ourselves, pay someone to build something, or buy this new thing from a startup? Second, they have to ask how far this changes their operations. What does it mean?

电子邮件对我们意味着什么？电子表格对我们意味着什么？如果你是一家保险公司或一家律师事务所，答案可能截然不同。第三，你必须追问这是否会给你业务的经济结构带来新挑战、新的竞争压力，或者某种生存威胁。
原始上下文
What does email mean for us? What does spreadsheets mean for us? The answer to that might be radically different if you were an insurance company or a law firm. And third, you have to ask whether this creates new challenges to your business’s economics, new competitive pressures, or, perhaps, some kind of existential threat.
