Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said trust in US AI technology and a strong technology ecosystem will help American AI companies stay ahead of Chinese rivals, during an interview on CNN's GPS that aired on Sunday. Nadella noted that Chinese AI models run on American hyperscalers and are open-weight, allowing US companies to monitor and train them, and stated, "as long as that remains, we will absolutely be competitive, and we will win." Microsoft owns about 27% of OpenAI's for-profit public benefit corporation. Last year, Chinese AI company DeepSeek launched a powerful AI model that triggered a nearly $1 trillion sell-off in technology stocks. In July, Moonshot AI launched its Kimi K3 model, whose performance has been compared with AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said his biggest concern is too much AI power ending up in the hands of a few companies, adding, "I think the fight of the current moment is: Are we going to head to a world of AI authoritarianism or liberty?"
