Promevo CTO Quoted in InformationWeek Article on DeepSeek & AI Disruption

COVINGTON, Ky., January 27, 2025 /InformationWeek/-- Promevo’s Chief Technology Officer, John Pettit, was recently featured in an InformationWeek article titled “China’s DeepSeek Dethrones ChatGPT as US Tech Stocks Plunge” by Shane Snider.

The piece highlights the rise of DeepSeek, a Chinese startup that has introduced a groundbreaking large language model offering performance comparable to OpenAI’s ChatGPT at a fraction of the training cost.

DeepSeek’s innovations sparked a major selloff in U.S. tech stocks, with investors fearing its potential to disrupt the AI industry and threaten U.S. tech dominance. While analysts acknowledged the advantages of DeepSeek’s cost-efficient model, Pettit cautioned about security risks tied to widespread adoption of a Chinese-made model. He emphasized concerns over data security and potential vulnerabilities in deploying such technologies locally.

The article also explores the geopolitical implications of AI advancements and the growing competition to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI). Despite DeepSeek’s lower costs, experts warn enterprises to carefully weigh legal liabilities, security issues, and performance limitations before adopting the platform.
