【篇一】馬云出席財富論壇 暢談全球化的影響
Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, said that globalization will help reduce inequality as technology empowers small countries and businesses.
"In the next 30 to 40 years, globalization will empower 80 percent of countries, businesses and people that have not benefited from globalization. That's because of the power of the internet and technology," Ma said at the 2017 Fortune Global Forum held in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province.
"If more efforts are made to impart knowledge and know-how to small businesses, that will significantly contribute to inclusive growth," he said.
As founder of China's largest e-commerce player, Ma also addressed concerns about market freedom and monopoly as Alibaba is getting bigger in both size and influence.
"We will get bigger, but we are building an infrastructure for doing businesses. Our goal is to be an enabler that helps small businesses reach more consumers and apply technology in a very cost-effective way. We are also helping big companies such as P&G reach the rural market in China," he said.
The tech tycoon also made suggestions to foreign companies which want to better tap into the China market, adding they should be more patient about investments into the country and have a long-term commitment.

阿里巴巴集團的創(chuàng)始人馬云日前表示，由于科技使小國家和商業(yè)團體更富有力量，全球化將會幫助減少不公平的現(xiàn)象。
馬云在廣東省省會廣州市舉辦的2017財富全球論壇上稱：“在接下來的30到40年里，全球化將會使80%原來沒有從全球化中獲利的國家、企業(yè)和人們獲益。這源于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和科技的力量?！?BR> 他說道：“如果加強向小型企業(yè)傳授知識和專業(yè)技術(shù)，那將會極大推動其在各方面的發(fā)展。”
作為中國大的電子商務(wù)平臺的創(chuàng)始人，馬云在阿里巴巴在規(guī)模和影響力都逐漸擴大的同時，也對自由市場和壟斷行為加以關(guān)注。
他表示：“我們的規(guī)模將會變得更大，但我們是為商業(yè)貿(mào)易搭建基礎(chǔ)平臺。我們的目標(biāo)是有能力幫助小商業(yè)獲得更多的顧客，以一種經(jīng)濟有效的方式提供技術(shù)。我們同樣會幫助像寶潔這樣的大公司進入中國鄉(xiāng)村市場。”
此外，這位科技公司的大亨也對想要更好利用中國市場的外國公司提出了建議，并稱他們應(yīng)該對中國的投資更有耐心，且保持長期合作。
【篇三】機器人招聘系統(tǒng)的人類偏見
Advances in artificial intelligence and the use of big data are changing the way many large companies recruit for entry level and junior management positions. These days, graduates’ CVs may well have to impress an algorithm rather than an HR executive.
“There’s been a dramatic increase in the use of automation in [high] volume selection processes over the past two years,” says Sophie Meaney, managing director, client solutions and strategic development at Amberjack, which provides and advises on automated recruitment processes.
While algorithms supposedly treat each application equally, experts are divided about whether so-called robo-recruitment promises an end to human bias in the selection process — or whether it may in fact reinforce it.
“AI systems are not all equal,” says Loren Larsen, chief technology officer for HireVue, which has developed an automated video interview analysis system. It has been used by companies including Unilever, the consumer goods group, Vodafone, the telecoms company, and Urban Outfitters, the retailer. “I think you have to look [at] the science team behind the work,” says Mr Larsen.
The problem, experts say, is that to find the best candidates an algorithm has first to be told what “good” looks like in any given organisation. Even if it is not fed criteria that seem discriminatory, an efficient machine-learning system will quickly be able to replicate the characteristics of existing workers. If an organisation has favoured white male graduates from prestigious universities, the algorithm will learn to select more of the same.
The growing reliance on automation to judge suitability for everything from a loan to a job or even to probation in the criminal justice system, worries Yuriy Brun, an associate professor specialising in software engineering at the University of Massachusetts.
“A lot of the time a company will put out software but they don’t know if it is discriminatory,” he says. He points to the Compas tool in use in several US states to help assess a person’s likelihood to reoffend, which was reported to have discriminated against African Americans.
Prof Brun explains that, given the use of big data, algorithms will inevitably learn to discriminate. “People see that this is a really important problem. There’s a real danger of making things worse than they already are,” he says. His concern led him to co-develop a tool that tests systems for signs of bias.
Many of those working with robo-recruiters are more optimistic. Kate Glazebrook, chief executive of Applied, a hiring platform, says her mission is to encourage hiring managers to move away from what she calls “proxies for quality” — indicators such as schools or universities — and move to more evidence-based methods.
“In general, the more you can make the hiring process relevant, the more likely that you will get the right person for the job,” she says.
Applied anonymises tests that candidates complete online and feeds them, question by question, to human assessors. Every stage of the process has been designed to strip out bias.
With the same aim, Unilever decided in 2016 to switch to a more automated process for its graduate-level entry programme, which has about 300,000 applicants a year for 800 positions.
Unilever worked with Amberjack, HireVue and Pymetrics, another high volume recruitment company, which developed a game-based test in which candidates are scored on their ability to take risks and learn from mistakes, as well as on emotional intelligence.
Unilever says the process has increased the ethnic diversity of its shortlisted candidates and has been more successful at selecting candidates who will eventually be hired.
“The things that we can do right now are stunning, but not as stunning as we’re going to be able to do next year or the year after,” says Mr Larsen.
Still, robo-recruiters must be regularly tested in case bias has crept in, says Frida Polli, chief executive of Pymetrics. “The majority of algorithmic tools are most likely perpetuating bias. The good ones should have auditing.”
【篇四】譯文
人工智能(AI)的進步和大數(shù)據(jù)的使用，正在改變許多大公司招聘入門級和初級管理職位員工的方式。如今，畢業(yè)生的簡歷很可能不得不打動某個算法，而不是一位人力資源高管。
“過去兩年里，在大流量篩選的過程中使用自動化的情況出現(xiàn)戲劇性增加，”Amberjack負責(zé)客戶解決方案和戰(zhàn)略發(fā)展的董事總經(jīng)理索菲?米尼(Sophie Meaney)說。該公司提供自動化招聘流程以及相關(guān)咨詢服務(wù)。
盡管算法理應(yīng)平等對待每份申請，但在機器人招聘(robo-recruitment)將會終結(jié)遴選過程中的人類偏見、還是實際上也許會強化人類偏見的問題上，專家們看法不一。
“AI系統(tǒng)并非完全平等，”HireVue首席技術(shù)官洛倫?拉森(Loren Larsen)說。該公司開發(fā)出一套自動化的視頻面試分析系統(tǒng)。包括消費品集團聯(lián)合利華(Unilever)、電信運營商沃達豐(Vodafone)和零售商Urban Outfitters在內(nèi)的很多公司已采用了該系統(tǒng)?！拔艺J為，你必須考察一下這項工作背后的科學(xué)團隊，”拉森說。
專家們表示，問題在于，要想找出佳候選人，首先必須告訴算法在任何一個給定組織里，“好”是什么樣子。即便沒有饋入似乎有成見的標(biāo)準，一套高效率的機器學(xué)習(xí)系統(tǒng)將很快能夠復(fù)制現(xiàn)有員工的特點。如果某個組織喜歡知名大學(xué)的白人男性畢業(yè)生，算法將學(xué)會選出更多這一類別的人。
從一筆貸款、一份工作，到刑事司法系統(tǒng)中的緩刑決定，在判斷眾多事情的合適性方面越來越依賴自動化，讓馬薩諸塞大學(xué)(University of Massachusetts)軟件工程副教授尤里?布朗(Yuriy Brun)感到不安。
“很多時候，一家公司推出軟件，卻不知道軟件是否有成見，”他說。他提到了美國好幾個州正在使用的幫助評估一個人再犯罪可能性的Compas工具。據(jù)報道，該工具傾向于歧視非洲裔美國人。
布朗教授解釋稱，鑒于大數(shù)據(jù)的使用，算法將不可避免地學(xué)會歧視。“人們看到，這是一個真正重要的問題。有一種讓事情變得比現(xiàn)在更糟糕的真實危險，”他說。這種擔(dān)心導(dǎo)致他與人聯(lián)合開發(fā)出一種檢測系統(tǒng)偏見跡象的工具。
與機器人招聘合作的很多人更為樂觀。招聘平臺Applied首席執(zhí)行官凱特?格萊茲布魯克(Kate Glazebrook)表示，她的使命是鼓勵招聘經(jīng)理遠離她所說的“質(zhì)素指標(biāo)”，比如學(xué)?；虼髮W(xué)等，轉(zhuǎn)向在更大程度上基于證據(jù)的方法。
“總體來說，你能讓招聘流程變得越相關(guān)，你就越有可能為工作崗位找到合適人選，”她說。
Applied把候選人在線完成的測試隱去姓名，然后把所有問題逐一提供給人類評估者。整個流程每一階段的設(shè)計都是為了剔除偏見。
帶著相同目的，聯(lián)合利華在2016年決定將其畢業(yè)生招聘計劃轉(zhuǎn)向一個自動化程度更高的流程。每年有大約30萬名候選人申請該公司的800個工作崗位。
聯(lián)合利華跟Amberjack、HireVue以及另一家大流量招聘公司Pymetrics合作。Pymetrics開發(fā)了一種基于游戲的測試，通過測試對候選人在承擔(dān)風(fēng)險和從錯誤中學(xué)習(xí)的能力、以及情商進行打分。
聯(lián)合利華表示，這種方法提高了入圍候選人名單的民族多樣性，而且在遴選終將被聘用的候選人方面更為成功。
“我們現(xiàn)在做得到的事情令人驚嘆，但我們明年或后年能夠做到的事情將會更加令人驚嘆，”拉森說。
話雖如此，Pymetrics首席執(zhí)行官弗里達?波利(Frida Polli)說，機器人招聘系統(tǒng)仍必須接受定期測試，以防偏見滲入。“大部分算法工具很可能會強化偏見。好的算法應(yīng)當(dāng)有審核?！?BR>
