In the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs) have become essential tools for businesses, researchers, and even media professionals. An LLM is a generative artificial intelligence-based model that can be defined as “a deep-learning algorithm that uses massive amounts of parameters and training data to understand and predict text.”

Among the many options available, ChatGPT has emerged as one of the most prominent LLM tool. However the launch of Chinese counterpart DeepSeek appears to present a significant challenge to ChatGPT. Founded in July 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, DeepSeek, released its open-source models for download in the U.S in January 2025. DeepSeek’s AI model quickly jumped to the top of iPhone download charts, including ahead of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Both ChatGPT and DeepSeek offer unique capabilities, strengths, and limitations that can meet diverse needs. ChatGPT can be seen as a conversational AI tool while DeepSeek is viewed as an information retrieval and analysis tool. This article is an attempt to provide a brief overview of these two AI platforms’ impact on politics and society. In the rapidly evolving world of technology, tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek have risen to prominence, not only for their capabilities but also for their profound social and political implications.

DeepSeek and ChatGPT & Their (Potential) Impact

DeepSeek and ChatGPT are both state-of-the-art AI-driven language models, but they are designed with distinct goals and functionalities. DeepSeek is primarily marketed as an enterprise-focused AI solution, emphasizing precision, data-driven insights, and domain-specific customization. On the other hand, ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI is a conversational AI tool that excels in generating human-like text, content creation and facilitating a broad range of applications, from casual conversations to advanced problem-solving.

ChatGPT offers a free tier with access to its basic capabilities, while more advanced features and higher usage limits are available........
