Trump Says Deepseek Should Be "Wakeup Call" for US | Vantage With Palki Sharma | N18G

so the tech race is heating up it's not just a battle for AI Supremacy it's a battle to control the future yes tech companies will be on the front lines but they won't be there alone because as the race intensifies politicians will step in we seeing that in the US already Donald Trump has commented on the Deep seek breakthrough he says it should be a wakeup call for Silicon Valley the release of deep seek AI from a CH company should be a wakeup call for our industries that we need to be laser focused on competing

to win because we have the greatest scientists in the world even Chinese leadership told me that they said so how will America respond their strategy has been two prong so far the first is to choke the chip Supply you need Advanced chips to make AI platforms most of them are made by envidia in fact even deep seek as we just told you was trained using Nvidia chips so the US has of the supply they have barred the sale of advanced chips to China that's the first strategy the second strategy is investing at home Joe Biden

announced billions of dollars for the chip industry and Donald Trump is building on that he recently unveiled a massive private AI Venture it is worth $500 billion the US will be hoping to replicate the Space Race if you remember they had a horrible start the Soviet Union launched the first satellite they also put the first man in space but after that it it was oneway traffic not only did the US overcome the Soviet lead they comprehensively won the Space Race how did they manage to do that because space became a national Mission private companies government

agencies even Ordinary People bought into it that's the thing about American companies in fact they claim to be globalized institutions but their loyalty clearly lies with the United States just look at Google they plan to update their maps in the coming days is do you know why it is to rename the Gulf of Mexico this is a water body shared by the US Mexico in Cuba for centuries it's been called the Gulf of Mexico but president Donald Trump has renamed it he's calling it the Gulf of America the change has not been reflected in official

documents yet once it is Google Maps will be updated users in the US will see the water body as Gulf of America what about those outside the US they will see both names now this is part of a broader Trend a marriage of convenience between big Tech and the US government and the benefits are quite clear big Tech can influence us policy at home they can also utilize America's outsized role in world affairs for example fines Europe has accused big Tech firms of antitrust violations they've also fined the likes of Apple and Google collectively these

fines are worth $15 billion president Trump says this is unfair that foreign countries should not be fining us firms he's also threatened tariffs and retaliation so the benefit for these technology companies is quite clear and what's in it for the US government well they get access to user data and they do also contracts with the military and leverage over Rivals and allies after all big tech companies operate practically everywhere so the success of China's deep seek is a wakeup call not just for Silicon Valley but for every country in the world Tech sovereignity should be

their ultimate goal if you own the technology you can regulate it you can ensure it's free and fair if you don't own it you're just a spectator you may have seen big Tech CEOs dragged up to US Congress do you think that will happen anywhere else in the world do you think a Mark Zuckerberg will testify in Europe or India he won't because he's protected by the US government with artificial intelligence we're seeing the same thing American companies and the US government are mobilizing to monopolize yet another industry the question is what can the rest

of us do what should countries like India do for starters deep seek is an encouraging sign it is not a multi-billion dollar project it was built on a very small budget until now that was a big worry for countries like India they were wary of splurging on AI training but if it can be done for cheap why not although there is a problem does India want an AI model like deep seek there are no indications from from the government so far meanwhile the private sector is split on this question infosis chairman Nandan Nan Wen recently

he says India should not invest in large AI models instead it should focus on practical applications of artificial intelligence but homegrown AI bosses disagree they say large models are necessary this lack of clarity will hurt India's AI campaign we need a national mission to create Sovereign Tech assets they couldn't do that with past Technologies with the internet with social media with 4G and 5G or even with smartphones for that matter if we miss this AI bus there could be a repeat we're calling the show Vantage we hope you like what we put together for you

doubted as the minimum depend from that video India's neighbors were the first to S the special edition of Vantage live from the White House throughout theate Hindu Mand in we on a way to Del measure but it's also the perfect way to drive I don't think prime minister bhan sharing welcome to 60% of the walls off Prime Minister Modi we were actually you doing how do you like it's been one year since that meet ion bar separate you from the outside out the vote effort Trump P it says and at $4.3 trillion 4.3 300 billion

by 2030 that's what we need to tackle climate change [Music]
