Schmidt warns free Chinese AI models could become global standard. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has issued a stark warning that Chinese open-source artificial intelligence models could become the global standard, not because of superior quality, but because they are free. Speaking on the Moonshots podcast released Tuesday, Schmidt said he worries most countries will adopt Chinese AI systems like DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen simply due to cost constraints. "This produces a bizarre outcome where the biggest models in the United States are closed source and the biggest models in China are open-source," Schmidt said. #EricSchmidt #AI #ChinaAI #DeepSeek #AlibabaQwen #TechGeopolitics #artificialintelligence #MoonshotsPodcast #OpenSourceAI #AIStandards https://www.perplexity.ai/...
