At the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit held in Paris, industry insiders spoke freely at the Grand Palace in Paris on issues such as the open source and inclusive development of artificial intelligence. During an on-site interview, a Xinhua News Agency reporter found that the artificial intelligence model launched by Chinese artificial intelligence companies DeepSeek has been praised by many industry insiders as an excellent case to inspire artificial intelligence innovation because of its low cost, low energy consumption and open source design.
DeepSeek takes the lead in demonstrating open source and efficient model
At a seminar entitled “Promoting a Competitive and Sustainable Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Globally” held at the main venue of the summit on the 10th, when asked about the energy efficiency of the big model, French Kaijie Ayman Izart, CEO of the consulting company, replied that the DeepSeek model is a good case. “Many people are developing lightweight models that achieve the same effect with lower energy consumption, and DeepSeek is the first to demonstrate such models.” He believes that open source models that can be deployed on mobile phones, personal computers or cars will be a very important innovation in the field of artificial intelligence.
Founded in 2016, the French Association of Digital Farms brings together more than 50 startups and large companies that provide solutions to the agriculture and food industries. Romain Faro, head of the association, told reporters that the emergence of the DeepSeek model is “good news” for French companies in the agricultural field. Because DeepSeek’s open source and cost saving characteristics are consistent with the needs of industries such as France’s agriculture, relevant artificial intelligence companies can adjust the established modules according to their needs. The association will consider working with DeepSeek in the future to “use the DeepSeek model to achieve the functions we want, sharing the collective wisdom and common interests of artificial intelligence.”
Boris Gamazajchkov, head of artificial intelligence sustainability at the American cloud software company SaiFTSE, believes that the DeepSeek model has promoted the pace of artificial intelligence reducing energy consumption. “It is open source, and its users do not have to pre-train a model of similar size, but can start with an existing model (research and development), which can save a lot of energy. This is a very good thing for the world, I want to see more open source innovations like this.”
The AI industry can do more with fewer resources
Yano Costall, the head of the challenge of the German Federal Disruptive Innovation Bureau, told reporters that the DeepSeek model clearly shows that China is an important birthplace of innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, China is promoting global innovation, and European artificial intelligence innovation also needs to be found. Your own way.
Rafael David Lasseri, founder of Magic LEMP, a French artificial intelligence company that shows customized artificial intelligence products at the Grand Palace, said in an interview that the artificial intelligence industry has realized through DeepSeek that “we can actually use fewer ones.” Resources do more.” He said European AI companies also have the responsibility to launch bolder and more innovative technology solutions to make up for insufficient capital.
Steven Fettman, a researcher at the EU-backed artificial intelligence project DIVERSIFAIR, pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence companies like DeepSeek requires a more equal and fair environment. Some countries impose scientific and technological sanctions and other behaviors, which are not conducive to the development of the artificial intelligence industry. “Only when artificial intelligence is more widely developed around the world can we have more sources of innovation and development.”
The Artificial Intelligence Action Summit was held at the Grand Palace in Paris from the 10th to the 11th. The two-day summit attracted about 1,500 attendees from more than 100 countries and regions around the world. This international summit aims to strengthen the action of the international community and explore the application of artificial intelligence and global governance issues.
