President Donald Trump warned a crowd at the Republican lawmakers’ gathering of the Congressional Institute at the Trump Doral National resort in Miami on Jan. 27 that the Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek’s actions could prove disruptive to the industry.
“Hopefully, the release of [DeepSeek] AI from a Chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries. They need to be laser-focused on competing,” Trump said. “Because we have the greatest scientists in the world, even Chinese leadership told me that.”
