Listen "Ep36: DeepSeek AI – The Real Issue Isn't China, It’s AI Security"
Episode Synopsis
AI Security and Competition: Unpacking the Debate Around DeepSeekThis episode delves into the controversy surrounding DeepSeek, a Chinese AI considered by some as a national security threat. It questions whether this stance is legitimate or merely a tactic by big tech to stifle competition. The episode highlights multiple security breaches across the AI industry, including OpenAI and Google, arguing that the core issue lies in how AI handles security rather than its origin. The discussion also explores the suspicious uniformity in the anti-DeepSeek narrative, the potential motivations of big AI corporations to maintain monopolies, and the necessity of reading AI privacy policies. Additionally, the episode critiques the U.S. response to AI competition, drawing parallels to historical moments like the Sputnik era, and advocates for stronger AI security regulations and more open-source innovation. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on whether the fear of DeepSeek is justified or manipulated by big tech interests.00:00 Introduction: The DeepSeek Controversy00:08 Data Leaks: A Global Issue00:39 The Suspicious Narrative Against DeepSeek01:24 Big AI's Fear of Open Source01:35 Smart AI Usage Tips02:29 The Real Issue: AI Governance03:15 The AI Moat Playbook04:08 Big Tech's Control Over AI05:49 The Global AI Competition09:45 Security and Privacy Concerns17:22 Conclusion: The Future of AI---I do hope you enjoyed this episode of the podcast.
