China is right to celebrate DeepSeek success but AI race isn’t over, academic warns
A prominent advisor to Beijing cautions against excessive nationalism following DeepSeek's AI advancements, emphasizing that the United States still maintains an overall lead in artificial intelligence. While DeepSeek's recent release of groundbreaking AI models has sparked national pride in China, it's crucial to acknowledge the existing gap in technology and data quality compared to the US.
Zheng Yongnian, dean at CUHK-Shenzhen, argues that despite DeepSeek's achievements, China still lags behind in critical areas like advanced semiconductor production, which are vital for various sectors. He suggests that focusing on these shortcomings, rather than succumbing to populist sentiment, is essential for China's continued progress in the face of fierce tech competition and US chip export sanctions.
