DeepSeek has upended the AI industry with open-source models that rival OpenAI's GPT-4, shaking the global tech and financial order. But its rise also raises urgent questions about security, economic power, and AI's future. In this live discussion, Yanis Varoufakis and Malaysia-based entrepreneur and commentator Arnaud Bertrand will explore the fallout, hosted by Mehran Khalili.

How does DeepSeek's model challenge monopolistic "cloud capital" like Amazon's Alexa? Does it prove that cutting-edge AI no longer requires vast computational resources? And with its data stored on Chinese servers, is AI becoming the new frontline in U.S.-China tensions? Beyond the tech, this is a battle over power—financial, political, and military.
