Kevin O’Leary on Chinese Competition: ‘The Country with the Best AI Will Win the Future of Warfare’

EXCERPT:

O’LEARY: “First of all, there’s a tremendous amount of skepticism regarding this DeepSeek product, whether NVIDIA chips are used or not, or earlier versions of NVIDIA chips. $6 million price from the desk of a hedge fund manager. I don’t believe it. No one does. This is a fact I think people should really wake up to. We are in a propaganda war with China, we’re in an economic war with China, we’re in a technology war with China. And hopefully, I hope we don’t get there, military war with China around Taiwan at some point. The country with the best AI is going to win the future of warfare in many ways. Propaganda being a big thing. Now, if you put DeepSeek on your phone, it better be a burner. This is my DeepSeek phone. This is my TikTok phone. And this phone thinks I live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. So I’m taking care of myself. Everybody else should understand what they’re doing here. Very risky to put this stuff on your phones.”
