In 2017, China showed awe and shocked when Alphago, an AI program supported by Google, defeated China’s Sindong in a complex board game. The decisive loss of a foreign computer program that drove Korean players similarly was a kind of sputnik instant in China.
That year, Chinese officials made a bold plan to lead the world in AI by 2030, and swear billions of dollars to companies and researchers who focused on this technology. This desire has resulted in DeepSeek. The unknown Chinese startups that improved the technology environment by creating a powerful AI model with much less money than the expert thought, improved the technology environment.
Deepseek is a historic manner without a clear support from a clear country, but success embodies the ambition of China’s chief leader XI Jinping, who recommends his country to occupy the height of command. XI wants the Chinese economy to be driven by the most advanced technologies such as AI, SUPERCOMPUTING and Green Energy, rather than old growth engines such as debt fuel real estate and inexpensive exports.
In the case of XI, this moment will help the United States to strengthen the mood of the superiority of AI. China is willing to share the know -how by casting as a merciful global partner in developing countries. XI AI should not be “a rich game and a rich game of rich countries.”
DeepSeek now shows that China may be able to make AI more cheaper and allow everyone to access it. The problem, however, is to manage the grip on the rise of technology that can threaten their interests and threaten their interests because the Communist Party is too destructive someday.
AI’s regulation of China has been robust over the years, depending on where the state evaluates its strengths and weaknesses. When the Chinese government worryed that the Openai’s Chatgpt was falling behind the United States in 2022, it required more handoff approaches for ventures such as DeepSeek.
Since the pendulum has been shaken in a different way, the self -confidence in the industry can be a “double -edged sword,” said Matt Sheehan, a colleague of Carnegie Endure for international peace, studies China AI.
Sheehan said the party’s “core instinct is for control.” “When we regain our trust in AI capacity, they may have difficulty in resisting the urge to take a more practical approach to these companies.”
As emphasizing the possibility, Liang Wenfeng, the founder of DeepSeek, was invited to Li Qiang Premier Li Qiang on January 20.
Considering that DeepSeek was not considered one of the so -called AI tigers in China, Liang’s attendance was even more notable. This difference is booked by famous companies such as Zhipu AI, a Beijing -based new company that has received significant investments.
DeepSeek is not familiar with the impulse of the interference of the party. It may have played an important role in the final success. Deepseek originally trained the AI model to bet on the Chinese stock market. But when the regulators aimed at such actions, AI luxurious in 2023 to comply with China’s industrial policy.
Then, despite the fact that China used high -end computer chips, we stunned the world by competing with the performance of US competitors. At home, Chinese commentators maintained DeepSeek’s achievements as evidence that the US restriction on the export of AI chips was ultimately meaningless (although the founder of the company was a big concern).
Even the recent charges of Openai did not even block the fans that the San Francisco company had not prevented the fans from accusing the San Francisco company that DEEPSEEK had been inappropriate to build a model.
Sun Chenghao, a foreign relationship expert in Tsinghua University in Beijing, said, “US technical sanctions against China have no choice in China.” “We can only rely on ourselves.”
AI has a special place on XI’s vision for China’s rise, and has the potential to overcome the biggest challenge, such as the reduced labor force. China used facial recognition and algorithms to monitor people and take away the opposition. This technology is also considering autonomous weapons systems and even China’s military modernization. Battlefield strategy.
DeepSeek’s development can also improve China’s designated scientific goals. DeepSeek uses an open source model. In other words, unlike major US companies that use more monopoly software, anyone can use peer under the hood and use technology.
Sheehan said, “The low cost and open source characteristics of the DEEPSEEK model are the Chinese government’s story that China is a place where developing countries can find AI solutions.
On the world’s stage of AI, it can depend on how big China is and ultimately the government decides. Balance Freedom that companies and researchers should perform state -of -the -art work to compete with the United States.
Some analysts, such as Gregory C. Allen, a researcher at the Strategy and International Research Center and former US defense officials, said there would be no restrictions on AI development in relation to China’s army.
Allen, who talks with the People’s Liberation Army members who are responsible for evaluating the risk of AI in his former job, said, “The only one is to stop them.
The same is true of regulating AI in the private sector. The environment there is instructed by the priority of competition in Chinese regulators, and we think about the technology that many people around the world still do not understand completely.
The more widely used techniques are used, the more you will want to enter the party. A few months after CHATGPT began an investment craze for AI in 2023, China announced the rules to control what China CHATBOTS is talking about. The user requires to reflect “socialism core values” and avoid information that undermines “national power”.
In the case of DeepSeek’s chatbot, this has been awkward to the seemingly positive question, such as “Who is Xi Jinping?” Researchers testing their abilities have found that bots provide answers to spreading China’s propaganda and parrot information campaigns.
Some concerns exist more essentially. When scholars’ chorus
Among these voices, we won the Turing Award, which won the Tsinghua University’s AI giant Andrew Yao and the Nobel Computing Award. His influence helped China to establish a global AI governance initiative introduced by XI in 2023 and included a request to keep AII under human control. Last year, the government also said, “We demanded the improvement of AI governance based on human decision -making and supervision.
Ultimately, China’s AI can move forward as long as the government can mitigate this risk, according to the AI policy expert at the Washington think tank strategy and international research center.
Harithas said, “The need to comply with over -regulation and” core socialist values ”can neutralize the potential of AI.
