SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt described DeepSeek's rise as "a turning point" in the global artificial intelligence (AI) race, according to an op-ed published Tuesday in The Washington Post.
Schmidt emphasized that China's ability to compete with Big Tech using fewer resources demonstrates the need for the United States to intensify its open-source AI efforts. He called for increased investment in AI infrastructure and initiatives like Stargate while urging leading research labs to share their training methodologies.
