今天，Meta在全球范围内的WhatsApp、Instagram和Messenger平台上推出了面向企业的AI助手。

Meta launched an AI Agent for businesses on its WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger services across the globe today.

这个自主工具能回答客户问题、预约时间、促成销售，未来还计划拓展到市场调研和日程管理等功能。

The autonomous tool will be able to answer customer questions, book appointments, and close sales, among other functions, with future plans for market research and calendar management.

首席执行官马克·扎克伯格表示，这个助手最终将帮助你打理整个企业。

CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the agent will, quote, eventually help you run your whole business.

目前这个工具是免费的，但之后会转为付费订阅服务。

While the tool is free for now, it will later become a paid subscription.

这款新助手是公司试图突破核心消费业务、大力投入人工智能的一部分。

The new agent is part of the company's effort to broaden beyond its core consumer business as it spends aggressively on AI.

这家科技巨头表示，今年其AI基础设施建设的资本支出最高可达1450亿美元。

The tech giant said its AI infrastructure build out will cost up to $145,000,000,000 in capital expenditures this year.

我们独家报道，谷歌母公司 Alphabet 本周通过承销公开发行，售出了价值 300 亿美元的股票。

We exclusively report that Google parent Alphabet sold 35,000,000,000 worth of stock this week in underwritten public offerings.

这类交易是指银行等机构先购入股票，再转售出去。

Those are transactions in which an institution like a bank purchases the shares and resells them.

公司此前表示，计划通过这种方式筹集 300 亿美元，作为大规模股权融资的一部分。

The company had said it planned to sell $30,000,000,000 that way as part of its massive equity raise.

一位知情人士透露，在周一宣布股权融资前，Alphabet 已联系了约 75 家投资者。

A person familiar with the matter says Alphabet reached out to about 75 investors prior to announcing the equity raise Monday.

公司表示，所筹资金将用于扩建数据中心，并确保训练和运行人工智能模型所需的计算能力。

The company said the proceeds would be used to finance data center expansion and secure computing capacity needed to train and run AI models.

而欧洲希望减少对外国科技公司的依赖。

And Europe wants to reduce its dependence on foreign tech companies.

欧盟执行机构——欧洲委员会今天公布了一项名为‘科技自主’的计划。

The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, outlined a so called tech sovereignty package today.

该计划涵盖从半导体到云服务在内的多种科技基础设施。

It contains policies targeting a broad range of tech infrastructure, from semiconductors to cloud services.

这些提案包括修订版的《芯片法案》和《云与人工智能发展法案》，旨在推动欧盟芯片的需求，并评估公共部门对云服务的使用情况。

The proposals include a revamped CHIPS Act and the Cloud and AI Development Act aimed to foster demand for EU chips and assess public sector cloud use.

欧盟这一揽子计划出台之际，官员们正对欧盟过度依赖非欧盟科技公司表示担忧，尤其是在日益关键的技术领域。

The EU's package comes as officials voice concerns over the bloc's reliance on non EU companies for increasingly important tech.

这些提案还需经过欧洲议会和欧盟理事会的谈判才能获得批准。

The proposals still need to be negotiated by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union to be approved.
