Reacting to DeepSeek, US Senate bill would separate US and China efforts to develop AI Updated: 5:44pm, 1 Feb 2025
The Chinese start-up’s low-cost AI models have shaken the tech sector and Washington, with US Congress weighing actions in a ‘Sputnik moment’
As the global tech industry reels from the emergence of Chinese start-up DeepSeek, the US Congress is reacting quickly with proposals to separate US AI development from China and strengthen its competitive edge.
One of the most expansive efforts is a bill by Senator Josh Hawley that seeks to ban imports of AI technology and intellectual property developed or produced in China, as well as exports of US AI tech to China.
Introduced this week, the bill would also prohibit US companies from investing in any Chinese entity that conducts AI research or development or is involved in the production of software or hardware that incorporates AI-related research and development.
How Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek may help drive innovation in countries like Russia Published: 10:00am, 4 Feb 2025
While Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek has drawn scrutiny in the West over national security and privacy concerns, it could be an opportunity for countries like Russia that have little access to advanced technologies.
That is the assessment of analysts after Hangzhou-based DeepSeek surprised the world last month with the launch of an open-source reasoning model, R1, with capabilities that are comparable to OpenAI’s closed-source GPT but at significantly lower cost.
DeepSeek’s success also raises the question of how effective US tech curbs on China have been, since restrictions on advanced semiconductors and computing chips were meant to limit the nation’s hi-tech development.
OpenAI’s Altman says ‘no plans’ to sue China’s DeepSeek Published: 10:32am, 4 Feb 2025
ChatGPT creator OpenAI warned last week that Chinese companies were actively attempting to replicate its advanced AI models
OpenAI chief Sam Altman said Monday the US company has “no plans” to sue Chinese start-up DeepSeek, which rattled Silicon Valley with its powerful and apparently cheaply developed chatbot.
ChatGPT creator OpenAI warned last week that Chinese companies were actively attempting to replicate its advanced AI models.
“No, we have no plans to sue DeepSeek right now. We are going to just continue to build great products and lead the world with model capability, and I think that will work out fine,” Altman told reporters in Tokyo.
“DeepSeek is certainly an impressive model, but we believe we will continue to push the frontier and deliver great products, so we’re happy to have another competitor,” he said. “We’ve had many before, and I think it is in everyone’s interest for us to push ahead and continue to lead.”
