In this podcast episode, we delve into the latest developments in AI with a particular focus on DeepSeek—a new AI model that is making waves by outperforming existing systems like ChatGPT and OpenAI in terms of both efficiency and computational requirements. We discuss how DeepSeek's innovation could democratize access to advanced AI technology, its implications for global competitiveness, and its potential impact on various industries. Additionally, we explore the broader cultural and technological shifts associated with AI, the potential for future innovations, and the philosophical questions surrounding human-computer interaction. Featuring insights from Eric J. Larson, author of 'The Myth of Artificial Intelligence,' this episode provides a comprehensive look at the current state of AI and what the future might hold.
Computer Scientist, Erik J. Larson returns to discuss the global shakeup in AI sparked by DeepSeek and Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 Max. We unpack how these models challenge Silicon Valley’s dominance, what makes them technically significant, and the broader implications for geopolitics, open-source innovation, and the future of AGI. Also discussed: NVIDIA’s record valuation drop, open-source trends, and whether the U.S. is losing its lead in artificial intelligence.
