Artificial Intelligence, A Chinese startup poses a challenge to National security said U.S. officials. It has sparked an intense debate over potential National security like it was raised about TikTok.
The rapid dominance of DeepSeek has drawn the attention of lawmakers and U.S. officials. It is raising a series of activities and statements that explain the perceived threats.
“Deepseek is a “Wake up call” for the U.S. but it does not seem to suggest a threat to National Security”, said Donald Trump. It could be a good thing to bring the costs down.
On January 28, 2025, The US Navy banned the use of the App for security and ethical concerns associated with the model’s origin and usage. This move underlines the growing susceptibility concerns within the military circle posing with the prominence of foreign AI technologies.
Whitehouse Ambassador Karoline Leavitt said the “Federal Government was examining the possible security implications of Deepseek’s Launch. This review came as part of administration effectors to confirm that “American AI dominance” is facing serious competition from China.
Congressional leaders are concerned about the Chinese progress in an AI world. Rep. John Moolenaar, who leads a committee focused on China has limited the export control technologies that are being used in Deepseek. The most concerning thing is that Chinese access to advanced AI technologies is impacting U.S. technological supremacy.
This debate has raised a race between the U.S. and China. Experts argue that DeepSeek’s rapid development indicates the Chinese AI capabilities.
DeepSeek soot up to the top of the app stores in both countries, market analysts Sensor Tower says it has seen 3 million downloads since its launch. it has been downloaded at three times the rate of rivals such as Perplexity.
The release of DeepSeek model R1 shook the Tech world last week. It has appeared as a computing edge technology with efficient and cost-effective results. It has become the leading tech model and driving the stock markets crazy.
Broader Implications
DeepSeek represents a milestone in the ongoing competition in the fight for technological innovation. China is rapidly growing its name in the technological landscape with exceptional capabilities.
The ability of an app has not only shaken the stock market but also investors and policymakers. Everyone is echoing the progressive success of DeepSeek.
The U.S. government is trying hard to slow down the AI progress by banning the sale of advanced chips to China. However Chinese companies succeeded in seeking a way to make powerful AI with low-cost chips with higher efficiency. This is a serious wake-up call to America’s technological leaders.
According to experts U.S. still has an advantage as it is the home of the biggest chip companies. There are still questions about deepSeek, what is the base of the model and how far it can go. “I was not concerned about the breakthrough, US will remain a dominant player in the field”, said Trump.
