Donald Trump says China's Deepseek A.I. is a 'Wake Up Call' for the United States

President Trump has framed China's AI breakthrough, DeepSeek, as both a challenge and an opportunity for U.S. innovation. He described the development as a "wakeup call" for America, emphasizing how the cost-effective approach of DeepSeek could inspire greater efficiency in the U.S. tech sector. This follows market turbulence sparked by DeepSeek’s claims, with the Nasdaq falling over 3% and Nvidia’s stock dropping nearly 17% as fears grow over the future of U.S. tech dominance. The reported $5.6 million cost of developing DeepSeek—significantly lower than U.S. investments—has raised concerns and intensified discussions about global competition in AI. While highlighting the competitive landscape, Trump urged America to view this disruption as a chance to refine its strategic focus, calling for more efficient spending to achieve greater results. His remarks underline the need for the U.S. to reassess its approach to technology development and global competition.
