China’s DeepSeek AI—EP32

from AI Ascent with Dr. Jonathan Luckett Hosted by Dr. Jonathan Luckett, D. Sc.

Step inside the world of DeepSeek, China’s powerful and rapidly evolving AI engine that is being engineered for a startling dual purpose. In this episode of AI Ascent, Dr. Jonathan Luckett uncovers how the same technology is being built to power both a vast domestic surveillance state and the next generation of ‘intelligentized’ warfare. We go beyond the code to reveal the geopolitical strategy of ‘algorithmic sovereignty,’ exploring how one nation’s quest for technological self-reliance could reshape global stability and what it means when an AI is designed from the ground up to control its people and confront its enemies. This isn’t just a story about technology; it’s a look into the future of power, and it affects us all.
