DeepSeek, the Chinese-owned ChatGPT rival, could pose the same national security concerns that Congress has about TikTok, Philip Elliott writes.
The article from Time discusses the emergence of DeepSeek AI, a new player in the AI industry, which has developed a chatbot that some claim outperforms existing models like those from xAI and Meta. DeepSeek AI, based in China, has managed to create this advanced AI despite the country's stringent internet regulations and U.S. export controls on advanced chips. The chatbot, which has not been publicly released, was demonstrated to a select group, showcasing its capabilities in understanding and generating human-like text. The company's approach involves training on a vast dataset, which includes a significant amount of Chinese language content, potentially giving it an edge in understanding and processing Chinese-specific nuances. This development has raised concerns about AI innovation in China, especially given the geopolitical tensions and the ongoing AI race between the U.S. and China. However, DeepSeek AI's founders assert that their technology is meant for global use, aiming to contribute to the worldwide AI community while navigating the complex landscape of international tech rivalry.
