AI BriefingUS-China AI Supremacy Competition and the Rise of DeepSeek
Key point
As conflict between the US and China over AI technology theft and investment regulations intensifies, China's DeepSeek is narrowing the gap with low-cost, high-efficiency models.
Details
The AI supremacy competition between the US and China is intensifying further due to allegations of technology theft and investment restrictions.
The US White House claimed that the Chinese side attempted industrial-scale intellectual property (IP) theft, including querying US AI labs' systems millions of times to replicate how they work.
The Chinese government banned foreign investment in Manis, a Singapore-based AI company. This has put the acquisition plan that Meta had been pursuing at risk of being nullified, and is expected to become a major obstacle for Chinese AI entrepreneurs seeking overseas partnerships.
Amid this conflict, Chinese startup DeepSeek is rapidly narrowing the gap with leading US AI players by releasing powerful open-source models built at low cost. This is being interpreted as a sign of China's strategic pursuit of AI technology.
