DeepSeek's Rise: Are US AI Chip Export Controls Working?

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei commented on the implications of Chinese AI company DeepSeek's success on US AI chip export controls. He argues that while DeepSeek has made strides in cost-effectiveness, it still lags behind US models, suggesting the controls are working. He predicts the future hinges on the Trump administration's export policies: strengthening controls could maintain US leadership, while easing them could let China gain an advantage in military AI applications.
