Every so often, a
breakthrough in AI shakes the
landscape, forcing us to rethinkwhat's possible.
Deepseek is that breakthrough.
This isn't just another largelanguage model.
This is a leap forward, asystem that's redefining how we
work, innovate and interact withartificial intelligence.
But here's the real questionhow powerful is it?
(00:23):
What does it mean for business,society and the future of AI
itself?
And, most importantly, are weeven ready for what's coming
next?
Let's get into it.
Welcome to the AF Podcast, wherewe break down the biggest
(00:47):
shifts in technology, businessand the future of intelligence.
I'm Adam Fierstein, and todaywe're diving into something
that's reshaping AI as we knowit DeepSeek.
If you've been following the AIspace, you know there's been a
race, a relentless push to buildsmarter, faster and more
efficient models.
Openai, google, deepmind, metathey've all been driving the
(01:13):
field forward.
But DeepSeek is different.
It's pushing the boundaries ofefficiency and raw power.
It's making AI more accessible,scalable and shockingly
intelligent, and it's not justanother LLM.
It's a glimpse into the futureof human-machine collaboration.
So today let's unpack this whatDeepSeek is and why it's a game
(01:39):
changer, how it stacks upagainst GPT-4 and other leading
AI models, the industries it'sabout to disrupt fast, and what
this means for the future ofAI-powered work and
decision-making.
If you care about innovation,ai and the next frontier of
(01:59):
intelligence, buckle up.
All right, let's break thisdown.
We hear about new AI models allthe time.
Some come and go, some makeheadlines, but very few actually
change the game.
Deepseek, this one's different.
This isn't just another chatbotcarrying another language model
(02:22):
, competing with OpenAI's GPT-4or Google's Gemini.
Deepseek represents a newphilosophy in AI, one built for
efficiency, precision andmassive real-world impact.
But before we talk about why itmatters, let's start with the
basics.
Deepseek is a large languagemodel developed by a Chinese AI
(02:47):
company called DeepSeek AI.
The goal To push the boundariesof AI efficiency, making
advanced AI more accessible,scalable and intelligent,
without the ridiculous computingcosts that models like GPT-4
require.
Now here's where it getsinteresting.
Deepseek LLM was trained on adata set of two trillion tokens
(03:10):
in both English and Chinese,making it one of the most
powerful multilingual AI systemsto date.
It was built with efficiency inmind, achieving performance on
par with GPT-4, but usingsignificantly fewer resources.
And, most importantly, it'sopen source.
That means developers,researchers and businesses can
(03:32):
access it, modify it andintegrate it into their own
systems.
Now, that's a big deal, becausein AI, open source versus
closed source is a battle that'sshaping the future.
Companies like OpenAI andGoogle.
They've gone the closed route,keeping their most advanced
models locked down, controllingaccess and putting a price tag
(03:57):
on intelligence.
Deepseek, they're giving itaway, which means more companies
can build with it, moreresearchers can improve it and
AI development speeds up bigtime.
But the real question is howdoes it stack up against the AI
(04:17):
giants and what makes it unique?
Most AI models today follow asimilar structure.
They ingest massive amounts ofdata, they learn patterns,
predict text and generateresponses, and they get better
through fine-tuning andreinforcement learning.
(04:38):
But DeepSeek takes it a stepfurther.
It optimizes token efficiency,meaning it can process and
generate responses faster thancompetitors, while maintaining
high accuracy.
It has advanced reasoningcapabilities, not just spitting
out text, but analyzing,problem-solving and adapting.
(04:59):
Because it's trained in bothEnglish and Chinese at scale,
it's one of the most powerfulbilingual AI models ever built.
Here's the real kicker DeepSeekis designed for the future.
It's not just about betterchatbots or smarter search
engines.
This is about building AI thatworks alongside us, helping
businesses automate, researchersdiscover and entrepreneurs
(05:23):
scale faster than ever before.
So here's the big question IfDeepSeek is so powerful, what
can it actually do in the realworld?
That's what we're diving into.
Next, now that we understandwhat DeepSeek is and how it
(05:45):
works, let's talk about whatreally matters what it's doing
in the real world.
Because here's the deal AImodels aren't just theoretical
anymore.
They're out there runningbusinesses, optimizing
industries and making decisionsthat impact millions of lives
Every single day.
Deepseek it's already makingwaves, so let's get into it.
(06:08):
How is DeepSeek being used inthe real world, and what
industries are feeling itsimpact the most?
Let's start with one of thebiggest healthcare.
Right now, hospitals, doctorsand medical researchers are
facing data overload.
Every year, millions of medicalpapers, case studies and
clinical trials are published.
No single doctor or researchercan possibly keep up with that
(06:32):
volume of information, but guesswhat DeepSeek can?
Deepseek is already being usedto analyze vast amounts of
medical literature in minutes,extracting key findings that
would take humans weeks to siftthrough.
Assist in diagnosing complexdiseases by comparing patient
data with thousands of similarcases.
(06:53):
Speed up drug discovery.
Pharmaceutical companies areusing AI to predict which
compounds might lead to neweffective medicines.
Imagine a world where AI cancatch early signs of disease,
before symptoms even appear.
That's not science fiction.
That's happening now.
Now let's shift gears.
(07:16):
Finance, the financial industry,runs on data, trends and
predictions, and if you cananalyze those faster and more
accurately than your competitors, you win.
Here's how DeepSeek isrevolutionizing finance.
Risk analysis AI can analyzehistorical market trends and
(07:36):
detect patterns humans miss,helping investors make smarter
decisions.
Faster Fraud detection Banksand financial institutions are
using DeepSeek to detect unusualactivity and flag fraudulent
transactions before they happen.
Personalized investmentstrategies Instead of a

And here's the real takeaway Ifyou're not thinking about how AI
applies to your world yet,you're already behind.
But here's the good news it'snot too late.
Deepseek isn't just for techgiants.
(10:36):
It's for anyone ready toembrace AI and scale faster than
ever before.
Now that we've seen howDeepSeek is changing industries,
the next big question is whatdoes this mean for you?
How does AI not just impactindustries, but enhance human
lives?
Ai isn't just about lines ofcode and data models.
(10:58):
It's about people.
It's about how we work, how wecreate, how we think, build and
grow.
And this is where DeepSeek getsreally interesting.
We're not just looking at atool for businesses.
We're looking at somethingthat's fundamentally enhancing
human potential.
Let's break this down.
Most people think of AI assomething reserved for tech
(11:20):
companies and research labs, butDeepSeek it's already showing
up everywhere.
Take a second and imagine you'rean entrepreneur trying to scale
your business.
Deepseek automates yourworkflows, optimizes customer
engagement and even generatesmarketing strategies In seconds.
(11:42):
You're a student drowning incoursework.
Deepseek breaks down complextopics, helps you write better
and even acts as a tutor in realtime.
You're a healthcareprofessional looking for better
patient insights.
Deepseek analyzes medicalresearch faster than any human
(12:02):
could, helping doctors makebetter decisions faster.
And that's just scratching thesurface.
Deepseek isn't just aboutreplacing tasks.
It's about expanding humanability.
Let's talk about how industriesare leveraging DeepSeek right
now, because this AI isn't justan idea.
(12:23):
It's already in motion.
Deepseek is helpingEntrepreneurs and executives
Autom work, creating reports andmaking data-driven decisions
instantly.
It can process huge amounts ofinformation, extract key
insights and eliminate hours ofresearch.
(12:43):
Students using DeepSeek as areal-time tutor, asking complex
questions and gettingstep-by-step explanations in
seconds Researchers.
They're using it to analyzemassive data sets, summarizing
entire books or scientificpapers in moments.
Deepseek can sift throughthousands of medical studies,
(13:04):
finding life-saving insights inrecord time.
Finding life-saving insights inrecord time.
It's even assisting in medicaldiagnoses, helping doctors make
more accurate calls faster.
And here's the kicker it's onlygetting started.
Right now, we're at the earlystages of AI-enhanced life.
Imagine where we'll be in fiveyears, when AI doesn't just
(13:26):
assist, but actually enhanceshow we think, work and live.
This brings up a huge questionas AI, like DeepSeek, becomes
more powerful, where does thatleave us?
Are we becoming less capable,relying on AI for everything, or
are we evolving alongside it,using it to become better,
(13:48):
faster and smarter?
I'd argue the latter.
Think about it.
Before, google and people hadto memorize everything.
Now we use search engines toexpand our knowledge.
Before calculators, we didevery calculation by hand.
Now we use tools to work fasterand think bigger.
(14:10):
Deep Seek represents the nextleap.
It's not about replacing humanintelligence, it's about
enhancing it.
And that's the real opportunity, not just for businesses, but
for all of us.
The question is how will youuse it?
So we've explored what DeepSeekis, how it's transforming
(14:33):
industries and enhancing lives,but now let's get to the part
that truly matters the ethicalimplications and what comes next
.
Because every time AI takes amajor leap forward, we see two
reactions the optimists, who seeAI as a game changer, making
(14:55):
life smarter, faster and moreefficient, and the skeptics, who
raise concerns about jobdisplacement, misinformation and
the risk of AI gaining too muchpower.
So where does DeepSeek land inthis debate?
Let's dive in.
Let's start with the big onecontrol.
Deepseek is open source, whichis amazing for accessibility,
(15:19):
but it also means anyone canmodify and deploy it.
That includes good actors andbad actors.
Unlike closed models like GPT-4, which are heavily monitored,
deepseek's open framework meansit can be used for both
groundbreaking advancements andserious risks.
And with AI generating text,images, even code, at a
(15:41):
mind-blowing level, the linebetween real and artificial is
vanishing fast.
That leads us to three massiveconcerns Misinformation and
DeepFake's.
Ai is already capable ofgenerating fake news, fake
images, even fake voices.
With deepseeks power, we'restepping into an era where it's
(16:03):
getting harder than ever to tellfact from fiction.
The big question how do weregulate AI without crushing
innovation?
Job displacement versus jobcreation?
This is the ultimate AI debate.
With models like DeepSeekautomating high-level tasks,
some jobs will disappear, butAI-driven careers in management,
(16:26):
oversight and development areexploding.
The key Learning to work with AI, not against it Bias in ethical
AI development.
Ai models learn from data, anddata isn't always fair.
If DeepSeek's training datacontains biases, those biases
can be magnified on a globalscale.
The only solution Moretransparency, accountability and
(16:48):
responsibility in how thesemodels are trained.
The bottom line AI is movingfast and we have a choice Shape
its future or let it shape us.
Now.
Let's flip the script, becausewhile the risks are real, so are
the opportunities.
Ai isn't slowing down, it'saccelerating.
(17:10):
So what does the future looklike with DeepSeek and models
like it?
Here's what's coming AI-poweredpersonal assistants.
Imagine an AI that understandsyou at a deep level,
anticipating your needs,scheduling your life, even
offering personalized insights.
Ai is a partner, not just atool.
(17:31):
We're moving beyond AI thatjust responds.
Deepseek and its successorswill collaborate with us in real
time, solving problems side byside with humans, AI governed
systems.
Governments and corporationswill start relying on AI to make
critical decisions, fromeconomics to healthcare, to
(17:53):
national security.
And here's the real question Arewe ready for a world where AI
doesn't just assist but actuallyleads?
Because, make no mistake.
This shift is happening.
The challenge isn't to stop AI,it's to steer it in the right
direction.
So here's where we land.
(18:14):
Ai is neither inherently goodnor bad.
It's a mirror of the people whobuild and use it.
Deepseek is a powerful tool,one that could redefine industry
and enhance human potential andrevolutionize how we work and
live.
But here's the truth.
It's up to us, theentrepreneurs, thinkers and
creators to decide how we use it.
(18:35):
Will we embrace it withresponsibility?
Will we ensure it remainsethical?
Will we use it to buildsomething better?
Because the future isn't justAI-powered, it's human-directed,
and that's where we come in.
