Openai is a Chinese rival using works for the AI ​​app

Openai, a manufacturer of Chatgpt, has complained that rivals, including Chinese rivals, are rapidly progressing to develop their own artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

As an AI world leader, the status of Openai and other US companies has been dramatically impaired this week by the sudden appearance of Deepseek, a Chinese app that emulates Chatgpt.

Bloomberg reports that Microsoft is investigating whether the data belonging to Openai (it is a major investor) is being used in an illegal way.

The BBC contacted Microsoft and DeepSeek for comments.

Openai’s concerns are reflected by the recently appointed White House “AI and Crypto Czar” and David Sacks.

Fox News suggested that DeepSeek could have used a process called knowledge distillation using the model developed by Openai.

“There is a substantial evidence that what DeepSeek went here was the distillation of knowledge from the Openai model,” said Sacks.

“I think one of the things that can be seen over the next few months is to take measures to prevent distillation … it will definitely delay some of these imitation models.”

In a statement, Openai stated that Chinese and other companies are “constantly distilling models of major US major AI companies.”

“As we move forward … it’s very important to cooperate with the US government to protect the most competent models.”

However, rude intellectual property rights are far from new technology and are frequently leveled by major US AI companies.

According to the White House spokeswoman Caroline Rivit, US officials are also considering the impact of Deep Shek’s appearance on national security.

“I talked to this morning (the National Security Council). They are investigating what (the meaning of national security) is,” Levit said. Calling the US high -tech industry.

The announcement is reported that the U.S. Navy banned the use of DeepSeek apps for potential security and ethical concerns.

According to the CNBC, the US Navy sent the staff to the staff not to use the DeepSeek app for “potential security and ethical concerns related to model origin and use”. 。

The Navy did not respond immediately to comment requests from BBC News.

Data safety experts have warned users to pay attention to tools because they collect large amounts of personal data and keep them on servers in China.

On the other hand, DeepSeek says it is a target of cyber attacks. He stated on Monday that it would temporarily limit registration for software’s “large -scale malicious attacks”.

The banner displayed on the company’s website states that registration may be busy as a result of the attack.

Yuyuan Tantian, a social media channel based on CCTV in China, claims that the company has recently faced “several” cyber attacks in a few weeks and has increased. 。

The American AI industry has been shaken by DeepSeek’s clear breakthrough for the general opinion that the United States is far ahead of races.

Numerous trade restrictions that prohibit China’s high -end chips were thought to have solidified.

China has increased investment in advanced technology and diversifies the economy, but DeepSeek is not one of the large Chinese companies developing AI models comparable to Chatgpt in the United States.

Experts say that the United States still has advantages -it is some of the largest chip companies, and how much DeepSeek can build and leave the model. It is unknown exactly.
