China’s DeepSeek AI has been deployed for the first time in an international earthquake relief effort, providing real-time translation for aid workers in Myanmar. Following two devastating earthquakes last Friday, the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar launched an emergency Chinese-Myanmar-English translation system developed on the DeepSeek platform. The tool was created in just seven hours by the National Language Service Corps of China and Beijing Language and Culture University. Language barriers have complicated rescue operations, but more than 700 people have used the DeepSeek-powered system to facilitate communication among international aid teams. China has sent nearly 30 rescue teams with more than 500 members to assist in relief efforts.
