Welcome to TechLife on the BBC World Service with me, Graham Fraser.

We're the programme which looks at how technology impacts all of our lives around the world.

But today, we are straying into the realm of what some people might say is science fiction.

We don't want to scare anybody, but we will be looking at an idea which caused a bit of a stir in the tech world when it was published recently, an AI doomsday scenario.

They predict that by 2035, the AI will be so powerful in the world that it would start basically killing us.

We'll be going through the AI 2027 paper

with our cyber correspondent Joe Tyree later on.

Plus, we will be asking the head of tech at Volvo Cars

about the future of our roads.

The car as a resource, even when it's standing still,

is an interesting aspect,

and you can only really do that with a battery electric vehicle.

But first, the AI from China, which took the world by storm.

We'll start the show with a look at Deepseek, six months on from its explosive release. The Chinese AI company that sent shockwaves around the tech and financial world with the release of its latest chatbot.

Deep Sikh made a lot of noise in the US, in Europe as a key frontier model that was released on the market.

Which it says cost $6 million to train.

While some dispute the figure, with Google's AI chief calling it

exaggerated, many agree it's nowhere near what's been spent in Silicon Valley.

The stunning news that Chinese AI company DeepSik has matched, if not surpassed US AI models,

underscores the fact that China can no longer be underestimated. Deep seek AI from a Chinese company should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need

to be laser-focused on competing to win.

I think this moment will be remembered by history as a monumental inflection point.
