While privacy fears are justified, the main beef Silicon Valley has is that China’s chatbot is democratising the technologyNo, it was not a “Sputnik moment”. The launch last month of DeepSeek R1, the Chinese generative AI or chatbot, created mayhem in the tech world, with stocks plummeting and much chatter about the US losing its supremacy in AI technology.
