Was the US responsible for the creation of an AI monster called DeepSeek by banning technology transfer? Here’s what reports are saying

New AI giant in the market, here’s how the US is responsible
Already US investors are shocked by the sudden low-scale, low-cost production of an AI model in China, that reportedly took a lot more money to build in the US. This has made them question the future and profitability of AI in the United States, and if this AI race would soon be overtaken by China. However, reports are suggesting that the United States may have had something to do with this AI monster, DeepSeek.
Did US inadvertently become the creator of the AI doom?
Firstly, the US tried to limit China’s AI development by imposing export limits on semiconductors. This left China with no choice but to work with limited resources and make the most of whatever they had. This could have fueled the innovations behind DeepSeek as reports say that the company used many basic Nvidia semiconductor chips to train their AI model, and therefore, the cost of the model production was so low.
