💻🤖👀 DeepSeek reveals that 'big solutions will be disruptive' and the Western model is not an absolute truth

The Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) platform DeepSeek was launched just over a month ago, but it is still making waves not only in the technological landscape but also in the geopolitical arena.

To delve deeper into this increasingly present and relevant theme in contemporary society, the international podcast of Sputnik Brazil brings on this Monday (3) researchers who classify the invention as a promising milestone in the development of more inclusive and sustainable technologies.

Professor Claudio Miceli from the Graduate Program in Systems and Computing Engineering at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) states that, although there were already open-source AI versions available, which allow anyone to download the code and run it, the Chinese version is far superior and uses much fewer resources, proving that it is possible to achieve quality without exploiting natural resources, such as energy, as is the case with OpenAI's standard:

"There are other models emerging. In fact, shortly after, Alibaba released a model after DeepSeek, which theoretically performs even better, and other models are emerging. Everyone can benefit from this competition. This is extremely disruptive for OpenAI's business model because they rely on this market secrecy."

From a geopolitical standpoint, Professor Henrique Carlos de Castro, a political science and international relations expert at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), believes that DeepSeek poses a real threat to the capitalist model of AI centered on high investments and even greater profits.

"It is possible for humanity, just as it builds wars, companies, and profits, to build an artificial intelligence that solves societal problems, not just those of companies."
