China’s home-grown artificial intelligence talent may be a threat to the United States’ tech dominance, according to a study of DeepSeek by the Hoover Institution, an American think tank.
China had cultivated a robust domestic AI talent pipeline, as seen in DeepSeek’s research team, whose members were mainly educated and trained within the country, the report said.
While around a quarter of DeepSeek researchers gained experience in the US, most returned to China, resulting in a one-way knowledge transfer that strengthened China’s AI ecosystem, it found.
“These talent patterns represent a fundamental challenge to US technological leadership that export controls and computing investments alone cannot address,” it said.
“DeepSeek is an early-warning indicator about the essential role that human capital – not just hardware or algorithms – plays in geopolitics, and how America’s talent advantage is eroding.
