well, those two are used in totally different way.
~기 is like ~ing.
I mean, ~기 is used when you change a verb to a noun.
ex)밥 먹다(eat a meal) ->밥 먹기 (eating a meal)
말하다(speak,talk,chat...)->말하기(speaking, talking, chatting)
~고 싶어요 is used when you say your wish.
It means "I wish/I want/I hope/I'd like to"
~고 싶어요 is combined with verb.
ex)영화 "보고" 싶어요(I want to "see" a movie)
옷을 "사고" 싶어요(I'd like to "buy" clothes.
