The emergence of DeepSeek's ultra-cost-effective AI continues to raise concern among major AI firms, including Google. Recently, Demis Hassabis, DeepMind CEO, urged employees not to worry about the Chinese AI startup, citing Google's superiority in the AI landscape (via CNBC).
Hassabis shared the sentiments during an all-hands meeting in Paris where Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai read aloud a question from a company employee. The question heavily leaned on lessons and implications Google could learn from DeepSeek's seemingly "overnight success."
