At the recent Paris AI Action Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that OpenAI is willing to engage in deep cooperation with China in the field of artificial intelligence. This statement has garnered widespread attention, particularly regarding his high praise for the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek.
He noted that DeepSeek's performance in developing chatbots is "remarkable," and stated that the company's AI model can compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. He particularly emphasized DeepSeek's capabilities in demonstrating thought processes and supporting large-scale free applications, which are important features that users expect.
However, while praising DeepSeek, Altman also pointed out that "this is not a major update," implying that DeepSeek still needs to work hard on continuous innovation and development. He further discussed investment issues in the AI sector, believing that even if DeepSeek can complete AI development at a lower cost, OpenAI still considers ongoing large-scale investment in AI infrastructure to be crucial.
In his speech, Altman conveyed an optimistic outlook on the future of AI development and called for a spirit of collaboration both within and outside the industry. His remarks undoubtedly open new doors for cooperation between China and the U.S. in the AI field, and we look forward to both sides working together to promote technological innovation and tackle global technological challenges.
