Event Details

We invite you to join an exclusive roundtable discussion on the sudden emergence of DeepSeek AI and its implications in the intensifying tech cold war between China and the U.S. This discussion will explore how DeepSeek's innovative use of open-source models and cost effectiveness in light of restrictive industrial policies challenges traditional AI paradigms and reshapes the global tech landscape. We will consider how this tech rivalry drives innovation and collaboration in AI research worldwide, alongside the business ramifications of China's growing presence in the AI sector. Additionally, we will have an open discussion on how DeepSeek's open-source approach has democratised AI access, enabled smaller entities to compete with industry giants and helped re-ignite China's tech sector.

Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and per invitation only. If you are not an existing member of The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please contact us at eicn_hongkong@economist.com
