The Rundown: China is on the verge of a major AI boom, with a former top official predicting that the country will see more than 100 DeepSeek-like AI breakthroughs within the next 18 months, according to Bloomberg.
The details:
Zhu Min, previously a deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, made these remarks during the World Economic Forum in Tianjin. He emphasized that these new software innovations “will fundamentally change the nature and the tech nature of the whole Chinese economy.” The forecast is driven by China’s deep reservoir of engineering expertise, its enormous consumer market, and massive government investments in tech. DeepSeek has become a poster child for Chinese AI ingenuity, offering models that rival OpenAI’s best at a fraction of the price.
Why it matters: As Zhu’s prediction suggests, DeepSeek is just the beginning — if he’s right, we’re on the verge of a tidal wave of AI innovation from China. And this is all after semiconductor sanctions from the U.S., which are forcing them to operate at lower costs and under tight constraints.
