A new wave of artificial intelligence innovation accelerates the industrial transformation of China. Companies such as Deepseek have made the headlines in several sectors, which are eager to exploit the potential of the last generative artificial intelligence.
Experts have said that the Hangzhou Deepseek -based IA startup and other Chinese AI companies should inject new vitality into industrial development by promoting synergy between technology and production and, in turn, help Improve the level of technology used in manufacturing and other industries.
With its influence starting to feel through IA supply chains, Deepseek has gone from the darkness of the world’s technological arena with its powerful and profitable models – in particular the Deepseek -R1, a model of great language published last month. Developed at a fraction of the cost incurred by its Western counterparts, it amazed the Silicon Valley, which is considered the power of the most advanced AI in the world.
In just one month, each link in the AI industry chain – from equipment suppliers to software developers to end users – has changed quickly, leading to a large -scale industrial transformation.
“Deepseek has made new optimizations and has introduced new ideas into its large model technology, specifically adapted to certain applications,” China Daily Daily, a general manager of information.
“Consequently, it reduces material requirements, which makes it more efficient and accessible, bringing new opportunities for applications in various fields,” added Xiang.
A field adopting the trend is cloud services, where suppliers such as Tencent and Baidu have integrated the Deepseek model.
He also aroused a wave of interest in the financial sector, banks, insurance companies and securities companies accelerating the localized deployment of Deepseek models.
“Predictive analysis models can help financial institutions make better investment decisions by allowing more specific risk assessment and detection of fraud,” said Mehmood Ul Hassan Khan, president of the Pak-China of Knowledge corridor and executive director of the Center for South Asia and International Studies in Inter Islamabad, said.
“Thanks to chatbots and virtual assistants fueled by AI, it improves customer interactions,” added Khan, noting other application scenarios such as education, health and manufacturing processes.
Car manufacturers, including giants such as Byd and Geely, are also on board, integrating Deepseek into smart cabins, voice systems and wider AI -oriented operations.
“The open-source nature of Deepseek could popularize AI, increase industrial adoption and market demand. Thus, it could become an infrastructure in AI, the alignment of hardware and software, and stimulate new Quality productive forces, “Xiang said consumption information.
New quality productive forces, characterized by high technology, high efficiency and high quality, refer to advanced productivity released from traditional economic growth and productivity mode.
“Thanks to the data and knowledge specific to industry, users can make fine settings, allowing AI to be widely applied in various sectors,” said Xiang.
This dynamic of industrial integration is spreading in daily life, because the number of generative users of AI products in China reached 249 million in 2024, according to a statistical report published in mid-January by China Internet Network Information Center .
The report indicates that in China, the development of AI -related generating industries has shown initial results. Thanks to proactive political advice and continuous efforts of businesses, generative AI has been largely applied to content creation, commercial operations, technological research, industrial production and many other fields, A- he said.
“The widespread application of AI is a dominant trend,” said Sun Yutao, professor at the Dalian University of Technology School of Economics and Management.
“Other stages of the AI application exceed information. For example, the progress of robotics and autonomous driving involve more than equipment automation,” added Sun.
The number of IA companies in China exceeded 4,500, the value of the main sector reaching nearly 600 billion yuan (83 billion dollars) in June 2024, according to the Ministry of Industry and Technologies of the Information from China.
Beyond the borders of China, the influence of Deepseek is gaining ground. The global giants such as Amazon and Microsoft rushed to integrate its capacities, while developing countries also seize the opportunity.
AI startup of India Krutrim has announced the deployment of the Deepseek-R1 reasoning model on Indian servers, BW Businessworld reported. Meanwhile, the emergence of a new Deepseek player transforms the future of Latin America AI, the quarterly Americas reported last week.
“IA models like Deepseek have helped fill the global digital divide, offering development and underdeveloped countries,” Khan said in the Pak-China knowledge corridor.
“This progression is a positive sign for their economies, industries and societies, guiding them towards greater digitization,” added Khan.
