Donald Trump:中国AI公司DeepSeek的发布应该给美国敲响警钟,我们需要集中精力去赢得竞争。这就像是AI领域的“人造卫星时刻”,预示着一场新的冷战式太空竞赛即将开始。 Gareth Caulfield:DeepSeek是中国版的ChatGPT,它引发的争议在于其中国背景。西方对其可见性有限,尤其是在数据收集和使用方面。DeepSeek的国家安全问题有两方面:一是技术本身可能提取用户数据;二是中国的资源使用效率可能高于OpenAI。DeepSeek可以捕捉键盘指纹,创建独特的个人资料,这在西方社交媒体应用中不常见。DeepSeek收集的数据会被传回中国,而中国的国家安全法要求科技公司与安全部门合作。我们更关心中国公司为中国利益收集数据,因为中国在地缘政治上不是我们的亲密朋友。TikTok的争议也表明了这一点,最终归结为“西方好,中国坏”。

Shownotes Transcript

US President Donald Trump has called Chinese AI company DeepSeek a "wake up call" - and he's right. As shock waves continue to reverberate through the US tech industry, The Telegraph’s AI and cybersecurity expert Gareth Corfield explains why a new AI Cold War is developing and what it means for Western security. 

Plus, we speak to a Doomsday Clock scientist about why AI means humanity is closer to disaster than ever before, and look at what the Trump administration's approach will be to the conflict in Congo and the African continent at large.
