Silicon Valley’s been rattled by a low-cost Chinese AI – with the startup claiming their DeepSeek technology can emulate the performance of ChatGPT, at a fraction of the cost.

Its launch shook share markets and spawned allegations from OpenAI that their Chinese rivals used its work and models to make their own artificial intelligence.

This is all happening while the new US administration appoints an ‘AI and crypto czar’ so the online currency can ‘thrive’.

So, what is the future of AI and will we all be buying our coffees in crypto sooner rather than later?

Today on The Front Page, science and tech journalist Peter Griffin is with us to run through the latest advancements and shake-ups n the tech space.
