    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.

    Hot take - DeepSeek & Strategic Leadership in the AI Era

    Marlyne's hot take on the knee-jerk reactions of the U.S. market to uncertainty, the deeper burnout executives are feeling, and why the conversation rarely centers around purpose, impact, and humanity. 🔹 Market Trends & Overreactions – Are we really in an upheaval, or just witnessing a much-needed correction? Despite the media frenzy, stocks will likely level out, and the sky isn’t falling. 🔹 Tech Lobbying & AI Ethics – As companies like NVIDIA, Meta, and OpenAI navigate Capitol Hill, the real battle isn’t just about U.S. vs. China—it’s about open-source vs. proprietary AI models. 🔹 Who Gets Left Behind? – History shows market shifts disproportionately impact women and BIPOC leaders in tech, raising questions about inclusion and equity in the next wave of innovation. 🔹 The Bifurcation of Business Models – Are we heading towards an Amazon vs. Burberry world, where the U.S. controls the high end and China dominates the lower-cost market? What does this mean for supply chains and global competition? 🔹 The Open-Source Revolution – With major AI advancements being fueled by open-source research, will proprietary models survive, or is open-source the real future of AI? At the heart of this discussion: humanity, ethics, and the responsibility of tech leaders to ensure AI benefits everyone—not just the biggest players. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. 💡 Is the future of AI really open-source, or will proprietary models find a way to dominate? Drop your take in the comments on IG or in the Executive Lounge (coming soon!).
