For example, Japan’s Yokosuka City uses a “siloed” version of ChatGPT to enhance operations and reduce business hours. 

Being “siloed” means the Japanese government uses a dedicated data center to operate the AI bot, ensuring cybersecurity. 

Meanwhile, the Chinese government hails its latest DeepSeek AI as a triumph in artificial intelligence innovation.

Chinese researchers have developed the tool with a significantly lower budget than their US counterparts.

It’s an open-source program that can run without the Internet. Yet, it can match and even outperform paid models from Western AI firms.

As a result, DeepSeek has been shaking up US markets and the global AI industry.

The Philippine government has also been implementing AI tools. 

It has many pending AI regulations that will reduce potential risks.
