We recently published a list of 9 Buzzing AI Stocks on Latest News and Ratings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where monday.com Ltd. (NASDAQ:MNDY) stands against other buzzing AI stocks on latest news and ratings.
Last month, DeepSeek wreaked havoc in the tech world by launching its popular chatbot and artificial intelligence model. While the advancements haven’t been exactly ahead of its Western competition, what spooked investors worldwide is its claims that its model took only $5.6 million in training costs using less advanced, and fewer, computer chips than those employed by tech giants.
These claims have led to concerns about the economics of AI development and competition for big tech players. There have also been suspicions regarding data distillation from Western models, disrupting AI leadership in the Western world.

Another impact DeepSeek’s emergence has had on the AI world is that it has highlighted several new risks and even challenged market assumptions about how AI will develop.
“The DeepSeek saga is a fascinating inflection point in AI’s trajectory, raising ESG questions that extend beyond energy and market concentration”.
-Peter Huang, co-founder of Openware AI.
“Smaller companies and developers who couldn’t compete before can now get in the game …. It’s like we’re seeing a democratisation of AI development. And the efficiency gains are significant as they’re achieving similar results with much less computing power, which has huge implications for both costs and environmental impact.”
– Camden Woollven, group head of AI product marketing at IT governance and compliance group GRC International.
While all this may be true, one South Korean spy agency has accused the Chinese AI app DeepSeek of “excessively” collecting personal data. Not only does it collect data, but also uses all input data to train itself. According to The National Intelligence Service (NIS), an official notice was sent to government agencies last week advising them to take security precautions over the artificial intelligence app.
“Unlike other generative AI services, it has been confirmed that chat records are transferable as it includes a function to collect keyboard input patterns that can identify individuals and communicate with Chinese companies’ servers such as volceapplog.com”.
-NIS said in a statement issued on Sunday.
