With the arrival of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the global demand for artificial intelligence products skyrocketed. The success of the platform saw the emergence of a brand-new industry.

However, the dominance of the US AI sector was put in jeopardy this week, as DeepSeek AI took the market by storm. A plethora of tech stocks plummeted with the arrival of the platform. Nvidia and Microsoft both fell as much as 12% and 4%, respectively.
However, the emerging Chinese startup is now running into its own roadblock. According to the DeepSeek AI website, the firm has employee registration limits as it faces “large-scale malicious attacks.”
