At a time when everyone’s attention was focused on the Trump era that dawns in the US and the relations of affection and cooperation between the American president and the oligarchs of technology in the foreground, the ghost of “techno -fascism” that plagues above the planet with … occupation Silicon Valley’s billionaires in the US have received a fierce slap and even within their “stadium” in the field of technology.
The arrival of the Chinese “assistant” of artificial intelligence by Deepseek, with a whale signal, shocked the stock markets and shares of large technology companies, such as the company that manufactures NVIDIA’s cutting -edge chip and the King of AI itself, of Sam Altman’s Openai, who runs the famous Chatgpt. In just one day, US companies’ shares lost about 1 trillion. Value dollars, a trend that was somewhat resurrected with Trump’s own intervention, in trying to degrade Chinese success by market experts and players, but also with the formulation of the category by Altman’s category that there is evidence that the Chinese company He violated his copyright. This category itself gives a geopolitical dimension to the issue, as the US considers the Chinese technology strategy and the theft of intellectual property in the field of national security.
Cheaper and better
Regardless of these categories, the new Chinese “tool” of artificial intelligence has proven to prove that it has nothing to envy from American and chatgpt on a technical level, and in some places – according to experts – it is better. The fact that it is open source means that it really dispels the excuses of technology oligarchs that require even more investment and state money to improve each company their own “secret recipe”. Also, the fact that the cost of Deepseek is a small fraction of the billions that have been wasted for expensive American models – its “training” cost just $ 6 million, although the actual cost of developing technology is higher – creates a downward equation dynamic for the “entry chapter” in the industry.
But what is evidenced by Deepseek’s success is that ultimately the measures – such as the duties, sanctions and the ban on cutting -edge technology exports to China with the most important Nvidia chips – that US governments receive with the aim of aiming. They limit the development of the Asian country not only at the level of economy, but mainly on technology, they prove ineffective. Indeed, not only are they ineffective, but – as experts in the technology industry note on the occasion of Deepseek – are pushing Chinese companies to find more innovative solutions to bypass American obstacles and at the same time make these solutions accessible by “investing” by “investing”. Open source.
To make it better understand exactly what is happening right now in the AI industry, according to a report by the Chinese Academy of Information and Communication Technology (controlled by the Chinese state), large linguistic models (LLM) that had been developed worldwide last year arrived in total 1,328 of which 36% were Chinese. This means that China is the second largest force in the post -US industry. The perspective does not seem to be positive for the Chinese technology, as the country has too many specialized scientists and engineers, a huge internal market, and the government either directly or through university institutions has huge funds in this direction. It is indicative that every month about 6,000 students get a doctorate in the fields of technology, engineering and mathematics in China, while the corresponding number in the US, where the world’s top universities are supposed to be 2,000- 3,000 graduates. In Britain, also known for the quality of its universities, this number is just 1,500 (proportionally more than the US than the size of the population).
Overcame the blockade
Washington’s strategy to remove access to materials used in high technology from the equation, while it may have been inhibitory to the growth rate of the industry so far, but China has both the raw materials as well as the industry and the industry and the industry and the industry and the industry. production to overcome this exclusion. It is indicative that in terms of patent patents – in essence the US governments are trying to protect them with measures against China and with the categories of copyright – in 2023 in China 1.7 million new patents were registered, while in the US only 600,000 . Two decades ago in China, only one -third of those patents were certified in the US and a quarter of them in Japan, while the country was back in this area by South Korea and Europe.
During the days of President Xi Jing, the Chinese state has given hundreds of billions to the technology sector in the form of state funding, focusing particularly on the advanced semiconductor sector. The Chinese leadership has focused on developing technology as a whole in all sectors it contains. Thus, it has managed to prevail as the largest producer country in the markets of electric vehicles, batteries and solar panels. Now, according to what has been officially announced by the Chinese leadership, it also wants to dominate the artificial intelligence industry by 2030, as Si has set the development of the industry as a “national priority”.
As far as the chip part used to grow LLM, the US decision to limit exports to China has created a gap in the Chinese market (since 2022 that this policy has begun), but it is gradually filled by domestic giants. of technology, such as Huawei. According to reports on this issue, the company has made significant steps to grow chips used for the operation of AI models, but, as experts point out, they are currently not as reliable as NVIDIA.
Regardless of the issue of chips and all the computational power that AI models may have, China invests in this technology and for one more reason: it uses it to further increase its productive capabilities as a whole. For example, it is well known that in China, electric products are increasingly active in the car manufacturing, with an ever -increasing volume being produced by factories operating on a 24 -hour basis throughout the week, while workers are … robots operating with AI. In 2022 only China put in operation of 290,000 industrial production robots.
According to the Xinhua news agency, in China, there were about 10,000 digital crafts and “smart” factories in China, while 45 “flocks” of advanced production have been created in the fields of next generation intelligence technology, equipment, new materials and energy. Again, according to Xinhua, an automated Xiaomi plant is produced a car every 76 seconds, as there are 700 AI robots at the same time. It is indicative that Sian’s Aerospatial Institute of Aerospatial Promotion, where rocket -operative rocket engines are operating around the clock, with robots getting a job on night shifts and workers to control and put the finish in the final. in the morning.
Trump’s tactics and stake for the EU
It is obvious that the changes that China is bringing to international competition with its policies implemented cannot but affect the decisions and politics of the West, since China no longer seems to need US investments. The US approach to the issue especially with Donald Trump is to push US companies and companies that are not US to invest in the US and transfer their production there. Trump’s strategy to achieve this, based on what he has announced, is to make production extremely accurate by essentially raising prices through duties and creating a “positive” climate for investment within the US, for example with tax exemptions. The above, if combined with the fact that China has virtually dissolved competition in many sectors with European companies, and both Trump and his government are not only interested in transatlantic ties, but even threatened to attach European territory, They should not only be a wake bell for European leadership, but have caused it panic. It is noted that in previous years on the issue of production and technology, the European leadership responded to its critics that it was left behind and that efforts to regulate these markets would be the legal example worldwide. The lack of practical decisions and investment, however, also drags these efforts, as technology oligarchs appear ready to break with the help of Trump with their commitments to the EU and European citizens with the deregulation promoted to the US for the sake of huge sake. their profits.
