據《美國郵報》9月14日報道，去年年底在港交所上市的人工智能公司商湯科技最近調整了與智慧城市和安全技術相關的核心業務部門，該部門的團隊規模縮減了20%以上。商湯科技的智能城市部門的主要業務是為政府提供安全係統，為商湯科技提供了主要的收入來源。據商湯科技財報顯示，2021年商湯科技證券業務收入達21.4億元(3.07億美元)，占比超過40%。在本輪調整之前，商湯科技的員工總數接近6000人，其中智慧城市部門超過2000人。現在，大約有500人離開了這個部門。一位接近商湯科技的消息人士表示，集團內部的一些團隊已被取消。商湯科技對這些報道做出了回應，稱:“今年到目前為止，公司員工總數略有增加。作為一家快速成長的科技創新企業，商湯科技會根據市場和自身情況調整組織和人才結構，更好地適應業務發展。目前，商湯科技整體業務發展正常，人才戰略沒有改變，今年的招聘工作也在正常進行中。”商湯科技在調整安全業務的同時，還增加了對智能汽車業務的投資。 In 2016, it began to provide intelligent cockpit and autonomous driving solutions for automotive companies. SenseTime is now recruiting new talent for the business, and has opened up internal job transfer opportunities. Applicants are required to have experience in autonomous driving. At present, the smart car group within SenseTime has over 1,000 employees. In the first quarter of this year, SenseTime’s smart car business became a new business group, operating independently from the mobile smart business group. Its automotive customers already include GAC Motor, Honda and Daimler AG. These team adjustments are closely linked with the firm’s revenue performance. In the first half of this year, revenue from its smart car business increased by 71% year-on-year to 121 million yuan ($17.4 million), accounting for 10% of SenseTime’s total revenue. The revenue from its security business dropped by 44.8% to 434 million yuan. During a telephone conference held after the release of its semi-annual report, Xu Li, CEO of SenseTime, attempted to explain the decline in performance, claiming, “The epidemic caused shutdowns in many places, which affected the expenditure willingness, product deployment and project construction progress of customers such as local governments.”
