Without referring by his name to Deepseek, Ovitz said: “I know that there are all kinds of conversations that take place now about this Chinese AI company” potentially by deriving IA companies based in states -Unis like Nvidia. “I am optimistic, optimistic, optimistic about American technology and where we stick,” continued the old super-agent. “The entertainment company will finally benefit from this technology.”
