The evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) often changes at an alarming rate. With the number of subsets of AI, there are few technological releases that have generated as much buzz, as the launch of Deep Seek AI. Developed by a relatively new tech company, Deep Seek AI promises to revolutionize data analytics, as well as decision-making processes in industries ranging from finance to healthcare.
“Ai has changed the way people approach everything! From social media to education it’s hard to imagine how we functioned before it all.” said Danae Daniels, a fourth-year Broadcast journalism major.
What was meant to be a groundbreaking moment in the tech world quickly took a sharp turn as the release of this AI system led to a deep turn in the United States stock market.
Deep Seek AI made its acclaimed debut in late 2024. Marketed as an all-in-one AI solution, capable of advanced predictive analytics, real-time decision making and more, it was clear this program was a game changer.
Companies across the globe were anticipating improvements in efficiency and productivity compared to its competitors, making them eager to adopt it.
The technology itself was built on a neural network architecture that was said to surpass anything currently available on the market. With this knowledge, many investors believed that Deep Seek AI could alter the financial landscape. This popularity transferred to the tech industry, creating a buzz with speculation on how this tool could reshape everything.
“To the average person, it is alarming how fast technology can jeopardize potential future endeavors. The best thing to do is stay informed.” said Jalyn Baker, a fourth-year computer science scholar.
Despite the initial excitement, Deep Seek Ai’s release took a major toll on the US stock market. Major stocks experienced an unexpected plunge, and technology stocks took a large hit with many companies directly involved in AI development seeing their valuations plummet.
Investors eventually grew concerned about its potential to disrupt existing industries and create massive job displacement. The release of Deep Seek AI also raised broader questions surrounding the economic implications of advanced AI technologies.
“It is a worry to a lot of us who are about to enter the job market, entry level roles and their qualifications are changing by the day, hopefully employers find it important to make space for the next generation,” said India Stringer, a fourth-year health science scholar
Many go back and forth on whether it is a natural step in the advancement of technology or a dangerous step into the unknown. Issues like unemployment lurk in the background of the average person’s mind when it comes to the rapid advancement of AI.
The market’s response to Deep Seek AI underscored how rapidly the financial world can react to both opportunities and risks, specifically centered around emerging technologies that can challenge the impact of industries and employment. Whether Deep Seek AI becomes the next big success or a cautionary tale remains unclear but the future seems to be a bright one.
