Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt just dropped a bombshell in the AI world, calling Chinese AI firm DeepSeek's rapid growth a “turning point” in the global tech race. His comments highlight how China’s innovative approach—delivering Big Tech-level AI with fewer resources—is reshaping the game.
Schmidt, a Silicon Valley heavyweight , warned that the U.S. needs to level up its open-source AI game to stay competitive. “It’s time to invest big,” he said, name-checking projects like Stargate (no, not the sci-fi movie ) and urging top labs to share their AI training playbooks.
Why does this matter? Think of AI development like a global marathon —every sprint counts. With DeepSeek gaining momentum, Schmidt’s call for collaboration and infrastructure spending is a wake-up call for tech leaders worldwide. Who’ll cross the finish line first?
