近九成企业计划采用AI技术
89% of Organisations Planning to Implement AI
希捷科技最新调研显示，96%的高级IT专业人士相信，AI应用将促进生产力和企业效益的提升。但几乎同等数量的受访者（95%）表示需要进一步投资升级他们的IT基础设施，以支持他们应用AI。
According to new research from global data and storage leader Seagate Technology, 96 percent of senior IT professionals believe AI applications will drive productivity and business performance. However, an almost equal number of respondents (95%) believe further investments in their IT infrastructure are required to enable them to support their use of AI.
希捷的“数据脉动：释放人工智能的最大潜能”调查探讨了亚太地区主要市场上不同业务部门对采用AI的接受程度，以及企业引进AI应用时面对的机遇与挑战。
The Seagate research, "Data Pulse: Maximising the Potential of AI", explores the varying readiness levels of AI adoption and implementation by business segments across key markets in Asia Pacific (APAC) as well as the opportunities and challenges faced by organisations when looking to incorporate AI applications.
研究表明，89%的受访者计划在未来12个月内采用AI技术，应用领域涉及IT、物流供应链、产品创新和研发、财务和客户支持。
The study identified 89 percent of organisations plan to implement AI technologies in the next 12 months, in areas within the organisation including IT, supply chain logistics, product innovation and R&D, as well as finance and customer support.
尽管亚太地区对AI技术采纳度很高，但报告发现，相当数量的企业尚未对充分支持AI技术所需的数据和技术解决方案进行投资。
Despite robust adoption of AI technologies in the region, the report found that a significant number of organisations have not invested in the data and technical solutions required to support the technology fully.
希捷全球销售和销售运营高级副总裁BS Teh表示，为了充分利用AI带来的可观价值，亚太地区企业应积极建立强健的基础设施和生态系统，以支持数据分析和实时数据处理的需求。
BS Teh, senior vice president, global sales and sales operations of Seagate Technology says, in order to take full advantage of the considerable benefits brought by AI, Asia Pacific organisations should proactively look to develop robust infrastructure and ecosystems to support the needs of data analytics and real-time data processing.

苹果两次对特斯拉进行尽职调查
Apple Has Twice Completed Due Diligence In Looking Into a Tesla
美国金融资讯网站TheStreet日前刊文称，虽然生产电动车和手机是两个完全不同的事情，但是从更广泛的层面来看，苹果可以利用自己的生产技术和丰厚的现金流帮助特斯拉扩大生产，进而实现盈利。
Making a car and making a smartphone are two vastly different tasks. At a broader level though, Apple could use its production know how and vast cash pile to ramp Tesla's production so that it is a money-making auto-maker.
该网站称，双方之间的交易是可行的。目前，特斯拉市值在513亿美元左右，而苹果拥有现金高达2,851亿美元。从财务的角度来看，只要想，交易是有可能实现的。
This is doable. Tesla has a current market value of about $51.3 billion, which is a lot. But Apple has a massive cash pile of about $285.1 billion -- if it wanted, it could probably make this happen, at least from a financial perspective.
苹果前首席执行官John Sculley在接受该网站采访时表示，“如果他们想，他们当然能买（特斯拉）。如果苹果想要收购一家大公司，那么肯定会选择在大型潜在市场拥有革命性产品的公司，而像特斯拉这样的公司显然符合标准。”
"They could certainly (buy Tesla) if they wanted to, they certainly have the financial capacity to do so,' said former Apple CEO John Sculley in an interview with TheStreet, adding, 'If they chose to (buy a big company) I am sure they would only do it with a product that was intended to be revolutionary in a large addressable market -- so an automobile maker like Tesla would certainly meet that criteria."
研究特斯拉的专家Anton Wahlman称，说服马斯克达成交易是再轻松不过的事情，他会“绝对地、毫无疑问地接受买断。”Wahlman还指出，“马斯克想做的是运营SpaceX，而不是汽车业务。”
Wrangling Musk into a deal would likely be the easiest part, Tesla expert Anton Wahlman says. He would "absolutely, no question" accept a buyout, "even at a takeunder," Wahlman continued. "(Musk) wants to run SpaceX, that's what he wants to do. He doesn't want a car business,"
此外，根据特斯拉内部人员透露，苹果近几年已经就收购特斯拉进行了两次尽职调查。
Plus, for what it's worth, many Tesla insiders on blogs and threads have suggested Apple has twice completed due diligence in looking into a Tesla acquisition in recent years.
