The US holds a "durable lead" over China in deploying advanced artificial intelligence technology at scale and harnessing civilian resources for military use, a leading AI policy expert has argued, as Washington weighs its response to the emergence of Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek.

Leading scientist Rao Yi argues that the significance of the tech’s challenge to US dominance lies in ‘how surprising it was to the world’.

Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek’s recent prominence has “woken up” the United States-based tech lobbyists, who are now waiting to see what Washington will do to counter China’s artificial intelligence capabilities.
