How will US tech firms react to DeepSeek?

At a fraction of the price, a startup developing artificial intelligence claims to be able to compete with Google and ChatGPT.

Over the past year, investors have invested billions of dollars in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development in an effort to capitalize on this rapidly developing technology.

Generative AI could transform the way that businesses are conducted in a number of fields.

This revolution has largely been led by the US, but a Chinese rival has recently emerged.

DeepSeek’s models are faster, smaller and a lot cheaper.

If there is a more affordable alternative, will investors still be willing to invest in the money?

And who is in the best position to benefit from AI’s vast potential?
