Korea Ranks Second in ChatGPT Usage as AI Sovereignty Diminishes

SILICON VALLEY — In a revealing April interview, Jarek Kutylowski, the chief executive of DeepL, a prominent European developer of large language models, expressed mounting apprehension regarding Europe’s standing in the burgeoning realm of artificial intelligence. With the competitive rivalry between the United States and China escalating, Europe appears to have relinquished its influential role in this critical sector. Kutylowski, a Polish native who established DeepL in Germany, emphasized that to cultivate an independent AI ecosystem, Europe must mitigate regulatory constraints and amplify investment initiatives. While DeepL is rooted in Europe, the company has aspirations that extend across the Atlantic. Kutylowski asserted that any AI enterprise should aspire to engage on the global platform, subsequently pivoting his attention to South Korea.
