Deepseek has been making headlines lately, especially after reports that it disrupted the AI industry and triggered an AI stocks selloff in the US. However, despite the hype, its long-term success seems uncertain, given that several countries have already banned it.
Here are some of the countries that have restricted Deepseek:
[1]
Italy [2]
Taiwan [3]
Australia[4]
South Korea[5]
United States
With this growing list of bans, do you think Deepseek has a real shot at success?
Even if some believe it's superior to other AI technologies, the lack of acceptance in major markets due to data privacy concerns could severely limit its reach. And as we all know, once the US leads the charge, other countries tend to follow, making it even harder for Deepseek to compete. In the end, this could just solidify the dominance of US-based AI tech.
In my opinion, even the name deepseek will just become an obscure name in the future of AI but I think what matter is their method in development of AI has opened new horizon that gives us an understanding about how overly inflated the price of some GPU maker's stock. since deepseek is open sourced anyway, expect everybody to create the same thing using the same formula but from different country of origin.
but since it's open sourced anyway, you can't really ban deepseek, but banning their websites definitely will do something. because I also see their enforced t&c of collecting data to be a bit too much offending.
