A report from Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) reveals that the global competition in artificial intelligence has intensified significantly. Originally dominated by US firms OpenAI and Google, the AI landscape is now crowded with competitors. Companies like Meta, Anthropic, and Elon Musk’s xAI are challenging the leaders in the United States. Notably, China’s DeepSeek has made significant strides, with its R1 model performing close to top US models despite using fewer computational resources. This development highlights a growing global presence in the AI race, with new players emerging worldwide.
