The emergence of Chinese Artificial Intelligence DeepSeek has stunned the world, especially the USA and its tech market and investors. More surprisingly, with a few Chinese students and engineers and a low budget of $6 million, China was able to germinate one of the advanced AI-powered chatbots, creating a ripple effect on the tech market and resultantly American tech market has lost $1 trillion potential stock in the realm of Artificial intelligence.
Just a couple of months ago, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed that it is nearly impossible to simulate an AI-powered chatbot like the ChatGPT model with a few million dollars. He praised American exceptionality in the advancement of AI technology and criticized other nations that can’t even think of creating such a miracle by themselves. It is also worth noting that ChatGPT has reportedly used $5 billion annually for its functioning.
A lot of people around the world are making comparisons of both AI tools: ChatGPT and DeepSeek. Most experts view that DeepSeek has better efficiency and performance compared with ChatGPT. DeepSeek is also getting ahead of ChatGPT in terms of research and coding with few response times. That’s why one can find why DeepSeek is making a top download app for American users despite the fears of confidential data breaches.
The creation of DeepSeek germinated panic in the American government and establishment which made every effort to block the Chinese hand at grasping high AI technology. In recent years, despite an economic interdependency between UAS and China, both countries have locked into a cold war in which various frontlines have been opened such as military posture, trade war and high tech. Among them, the most consequential rivalry aspect is AI technologies which determine who will dominate the 21st century. And USA has blocked the smooth flow of semiconductors into China on the pretext of blocking the Chinese way to creation of AI technology.
In addition to that USA has also blocked the export of AI chips to China mainland so that China won’t be able to compete USA on high tech. Semiconductors and AI chips are the main ingredients for the advancement of high tech and AI; however, China with the creation of DeepSeek has proven again that America can’t block the Chinese way to dominate the AI world with better technology and cheap cost.
Finally, in the age of information technology, only those nations will be able to remain relevant in the world who have invested in human capital and technology. Chinese DeepSeek has already broken the American monopoly on Artificial intelligence. So one will be able to see more advancement and rivalry in the field of AI between the USA and China as both nations are determined to beat each other in that field and American tactics of blocking critical components of AI won’t stop Chinese advancement in the field of AI.
