Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil company, has said technology from Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek is “really making a big difference” and improving the efficiency of its operations.
The installation of the technology in Saudi Aramco’s flagship data centre marks an example of a major company from outside China using DeepSeek’s services at a time of heightened competition with US rivals and deepening tensions between China and the Trump administration.
“DeepSeek has definitely generated a very interesting algorithm and software. It is helping us to increase efficiency and reduce the amount of resources required to do the same job,” Amin Nasser, Saudi Aramco’s chief executive, said on Tuesday.
