David Sacks, the White House's AI czar, warns that the United States' rigid chip export regulations may weaken its technological leadership as China rapidly advances in AI capabilities. He cites DeepSeek as evidence of China's swift progress, approximating their AI models are now just three to six months behind the US. Sacks suggests that while China may still lag in chip design, companies like Huawei are poised for global competition, advocating for a reassessment of US export policies to maintain its edge in technology.
"Back in January, we had this DeepSeek moment where, before DeepSeek, people thought that Chinese AI models were years behind. And then DeepSeek launched, we realized that maybe they're more like three to six months behind."
"If we're overly restrictive in terms of US sales to the world, I think there'll be a time where we're kind of kicking ourselves when, all of a sudden, Huawei is everywhere."
