Meta and Microsoft Double Down on Huge A.I. Spending, Despite DeepSeek Threat
Briefly

Microsoft and Meta are committed to continuing their significant investments in artificial intelligence, undeterred by competition from DeepSeek, a Chinese start-up offering low-cost AI solutions. This commitment follows a recent midair collision near Washington, raising questions about air traffic management as drone deliveries and air taxis become commonplace. As American Airlines coordinates with regulatory bodies post-crash, the broader implications for air traffic safety and efficient communication in increasingly crowded skies are evident, underscoring the importance of robust infrastructure and technology.
Wall Street has been on tenterhooks about how Silicon Valley would respond to DeepSeek, the Chinese start-up whose low-cost artificial intelligence software threatens to undercut the pricey American approach to the technology.
C.E.O. of American Airlines has arrived in Washington to help coordinate with the F.A.A. and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Even as investors wonder about the costs, Microsoft will keep investing heavy in A.I., showing their commitment to staying competitive.
Meta and Microsoft, part of the so-called Magnificent Seven group of tech stocks, are pledging to spend billions on A.I. regardless of competition.
