DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis downplayed concerns about China’s DeepSeek AI by stating that Google has superior AI technology,

Despite it rattling markets and Silicon Valley, Google’s (GOOGL) artificial intelligence head isn’t worried about Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek.

Google's AI head told employees that he was not worried about China’s DeepSeek AI and noted that the U.S. company has superior AI technology.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said that DeepSeeks AI model is probably China's most impressive work but noted that it relies on existing techniques, suggesting the hype around it is a bit exaggerated.

The notion that China’s DeepSeek spent under $6 million to develop its artificial intelligence system is “exaggerated and a little bit misleading,” according Google DeepMind boss Demis Hassabis.

Google’s AI chief told employees that he’s not worried about China’s DeepSeek and said the search giant has superior artificial intelligence technology, according to audio of an all-hands meeting in Paris on Wednesday.
