Alphabet称：若AI泡沫破裂，没人能幸免
2025-11-19
| The boss of Google parent Alphabet told the BBC that if the bubble in artificial intelligences bursts, no company in the industry will escape unscathed. Chief Executive Sundar Pichai described the growth of AI as an "extraordinary moment," while admitting that investment in the sector contains a degree of "irrationality." His comments come in a week when AI-related stocks are retreating, amid fears they are overvalued when compared with their short-term profit potential. The big tech companies have been pouring huge sums into AI technologies and forming a complicated web of industry deals, many involving significant debt. Alphabet alone has doubled investment in AI to US$90 billion. Its shares have doubled in value in seven months to US$3.5 trillion. Can Alphabet weather a bubble puncture? "I think no company is going to be immune, including us," Pichai said. | |

联合国称以色列仍在限制向加沙地区输送援助物资
2025-11-17
| Israel is still restricting flow of aid into Gaza, an official with the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees said, estimating that only about half of the required 500-600 daily truckloads of aid are getting through. Agency Deputy Commissioner General Natalie Boucly cited a dire need for food, medicine, tents and other life-saving commodities, especially as winter approaches. The Trump-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and Israel that came into effect on October 10 requires resumption of unrestricted aid to the war-ravaged enclave.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday his government remains resolutely opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state, following release of a draft UN resolution backing President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, which includes a clause envisioning future conditions that might provide a pathway to Palestinian statehood. |
