Tech Bosses Largely Agree the Risk Deepsek Poses to Openai Remains Limited for Now.
The Technological Advances that Chinese Artificial Intelligence Lab Deepsek has displayed show the game is on when it comes to us -ino competition on Ai, Top Tech Executives Told CNBC.
Last Month, Deepsek Shocked Global Markets With a Technical Paper Saying that one of its new ai models was created with a total training cost of less than $ 6 million ent by big tech players and western ai Labs such as openai and anthropic.
Chris Lehane, Chief Global Affairs Officer at OPENAI, Told CNBC that Deepsek’s Advanced, Low-COST MODEL CONFIRMS There is a “Very Real Competition Between Us-also Communist Party) China-LED Autocratic, Authoritarian Ai. “
Many critics of Deepseek have pointed to apparent censorship by the model when it comes to sensitive topics. For example, when asked about the 1989 tiananmen square massacre, Deepsek’s AI Assistant App Responds With: “SORRY, That’s Beyond My Current Scope.”
“There’s two countries in the world that can build this at scare,” Lehane Told CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal on the Sidelines of the Paris Ai Summit Monday. “Imagine if there was only two countries in the world that could build electricity at scare. That’s sort of how you have to think about it.”
“For us, what Deepsek really reinforces and reaffirms is that there is this very real competition with very real stakes,” Lehane Added.
Still, Tech Bosses Largely Agreed that even though Deepsek’s Breakthrough Shows China Being Further Along In the Global Ai Race Than Previous Thought, The Threat It Poses to Openai Remed for Now.

Reid Hoffman, A Co-Founder of LinkedIn and Partner at the Venture Capital Firm Greylock Partners, Told CNBC Monday that Deepsek’s new model is “a big deal in showing that the game is on.”
Meredith Whitaker, President of the Signal Foundation, said Deepsek’s Development Doesn’T Move the Needle Much for the Industry as Market Momentum is Styl Browadly in Favor of Larger Ai Models. The signal foundation is a nonprofit that supports the encrypted messaging app Signal.
“This is not something that’s going to disrupt the concentration of power or the geopolitical balance at this stage,” Whitaker Told CNBC. “I think we have to keep our eye on the ball there and recognize that it’s really this ‘bigger is better’ paradigm that is not reducian efficiency affeicieency Gains Gains Historically, that is driving this concentration
