Sam Bresnick and Cole McFaul shared their expert analysis in an op-ed published by Barron’s. In their piece, they highlight the growing challenge U.S. AI companies face from China’s DeepSeek, which is offering advanced AI models at a fraction of the cost of U.S. counterparts.

Bresnick and McFaul emphasized the potential threat to U.S. AI companies from low-cost, open-source models, noting, “If Chinese low-cost, easily deployable models are widely adopted, U.S. companies may find it more difficult to make money.”
