DeepSeek – Necessity is the mother of innovation (as well)

About this session

One of the few policies to garner bipartisan support in an otherwise bitterly divided US political landscape has been its government’s attempts to restrict China’s access to high-end semiconductors.

What President Trump started in his first term, President Biden doubled down on. Dubbed the “Chip War”, its primary objective was to restrict China’s ability to develop high-grade military hardware and undermining China’s AI capability.

However, the emergence of DeepSeek has destroyed any illusion of US leadership on AI and is a powerful testament to innovation in the face of adversity.

Watch our panel of experts to consider the implications of DeepSeek for AI and who truly holds the upper hand in the Sino-US struggle for technological supremacy.
