Blockchain: the transformative answer to handling…

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has rapidly emerged as a significant player in the artificial intelligence landscape, challenging established industry norms and raising critical geopolitical and ethical questions.
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, is disrupting the industry with a highly cost-effective AI model that challenges traditional development methods. Unlike Western companies investing heavily in proprietary models, DeepSeek has leveraged open-source frameworks and optimized low-end hardware, making its model 20 to 50 times more affordable than OpenAI's. However, OpenAI has accused DeepSeek of using "distillation" techniques, potentially training its model on OpenAI's data, raising ethical concerns.
While DeepSeek’s approach signals a shift toward efficiency in AI development, it also sparks debates over open-source risks and geopolitical implications. Some speculate that its openness is temporary and could later be restricted, contradicting the principles of AI democratization. As Western firms navigate these changes, the industry may need to rethink its innovation strategies to stay competitive.
