The future of DeepSeek: What will happen next?
DeepSeek may have built good AI models without new hardware, but in the future they will probably need more computing power. This is because American companies have a lot of computers and resources and DeepSeek has to compete with them.
Secondly, some people on social media also say that there is censorship in DeepSeek's chatbot. DeepSeek's chatbot has been changed to hide answers to sensitive questions about china and its government. Meaning, if you ask the chatbot some questions about the Chinese government, it will not give you the right answer.
Some people say that AI systems like DeepSeek will only promote the views of the Chinese government and suppress opposition. This concern has been raised earlier as well, when a debate broke out in the US over ByteDance's TikTok app. Many developers have also said that this model does not answer questions on sensitive issues like taiwan and the Tiananmen Square incident. This may make it difficult to adopt DeepSeek worldwide, because people will not like a chatbot that does not tell the truth.
According to data by Sensor Tower, DeepSeek AI's mobile app, surpassed three million downloads since launch, with 80% of these occurring in the past week.
Outpacing its competitors, the AI app reached 300% more downloads compared with its competitors, such as Perplexity.
Many have expressed surprise at how DeepSeek, developed at a fraction of the cost of its rivals, has managed to achieve such success in a short time, competing with tech giants OpenAI, google and Meta.
However, some industry leaders have even argued that DeepSeek could disrupt the current market dynamics and lead the way in making AI more accessible
