The introduction of DeepSeek, an AI model that rivals leading systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has sparked numerous conversations in the tech space. It delivers comparable performance at a fraction of the cost and energy consumption.
DeepSeek’s innovation lies in its “mixture of experts” technique, which activates only the computing resources needed for a task. This technique challenges the long-held belief that more power and energy equals better AI. This method might democratise AI development while saving organisations money.
From relative obscurity to becoming the most downloaded app, DeepSeek may not be “100% better,” but its appeal lies in being cheaper, free, and open-sourced. This method might democratise AI development while saving organisations money.
However, concerns about bias, especially in information originating from its country of development and other defining factors, are raising eyebrows. Hence, the possibilities showcased by this game-changer have raised the following questions:
🔍 Open-Source Vulnerabilities: Are we ready to tackle the risks of misuse by bad actors for cyberattacks, disinformation, or fraud?
⚖️ Ethical & Privacy Concerns: Without a universally accepted regulatory framework, how can we prevent privacy violations and unethical AI applications across different geolocations?
🎮 The Dominance Game: Should technologies like this, with massive potential for good, be part of a geopolitical power play?
🔐 Cybersecurity Erosion: Does the race to market dominance lower the barriers and expose us more?
Addressing these challenges will require global collaboration among governments, private sectors, and international bodies to craft regulations, establish ethical standards, and strengthen security measures. We must carefully contemplate these issues.
The Cyber Security & Cloud Expo World Series will feature many interesting topics-
Andrea Willemin will present AI-Powered Data Protection: Balancing Privacy Concerns and Advantages.
Amaury C. will provide insight via the topic ‘From Strategy to Success: Building a Resilient Future for your Business.’
Abdulrahman Akanbi – CISSP, CISM, MCP, CC, MCT will moderate a panel on AI Warfare: The Battle of Algorithms.
