    93: Deepseek, Open Source v Close Source & Mars Retrograde

    The Open vs. Closed AI Battle & DeepSeek’s Disruption AI is at a crossroads. The debate over open-source vs. closed AI development is heating up, and recent market shifts have upended expectations—including the shocking rise of DeepSeek, China’s newest AI disruptor. In this episode, I break down: 🔹 Open vs. Closed AI Development – Why Meta and XAI are championing open-source models like LLAMA 3, while Google and OpenAI push for proprietary, closed systems. 🔹 The Investment Divide – Open-source AI has attracted $14.9B in funding since 2020, while closed-source AI (led by OpenAI) has secured a staggering $37.5B. What does this tell us about the future of AI innovation? 🔹 China’s Big Move: DeepSeek R1 – How China’s AI lab DeepSeek developed a game-changing model at a fraction of U.S. costs—causing a market shakeup that wiped half a trillion dollars off NVIDIA’s valuation. 🔹 The U.S. AI Arms Race & Government Involvement – With policies, sanctions, and national security concerns shaping AI development, where does this leave the future of tech, business, and global power? 🔹 The Real Cost of AI & the Power of Data – Beyond the technology, AI is shaping our choices, economy, and even our sense of agency. How do we stay in control in a world increasingly driven by algorithms? 🔥 The Big Question: How will you navigate this new AI era? Will you prioritize profit or people? Innovation or security? And most importantly—how will you lead through uncertainty? 💡 Join the conversation.
