DeepSeek and the Sputnik Moment

THOMAS FOX
About this episode

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom welcomes back Mike Huneke and Brent Carlson for a special two-part podcast series on DeepSeek’s bombshell AI advancements announced on President Trump’s inauguration day. In Part 1, we reviewed the business and compliance implications, and in Part 2, they consider the Sputnik Moment that has occurred.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of the ‘Sputnik moment’ as it relates to the global race to dominate artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the 21st century. Our discussion highlights AI’s economic and military applications and its significance for the United States. The conversation touches on the role of compliance, enforcement, and the evolving regulatory landscape, including recent developments like the AI diffusion framework. The episode also explores the increasing responsibilities placed on U.S. companies and their compliance teams, especially concerning export controls and national security standards.

Key highlights:

  • Economic and Military Implications of AI
  • Compliance and Enforcement Challenges
  • The Role of Compliance Teams
  • Board of Directors’ Responsibilities
