OpenAI and Trump's AI advisor allege that China-based DeepSeek may have used OpenAI's ChatGPT data to train its own chatbot. While no concrete evidence has been presented, the claims raise concerns about intellectual property theft and fuel the debate surrounding AI development ethics.
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has been accused of copying ChatGPT's technology to build its own chatbot. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, along with Donald Trump's top AI adviser, David Sacks, have raised concerns about DeepSeek's practices. While neither has provided concrete evidence of intellectual property theft, their statements have sparked a debate and scrutiny over DeepSeek's rapid advancements.
OpenAI claims that Chinese companies frequently attempt to extract knowledge from leading U.S. AI models. They state that DeepSeek's methods likely involve a technique called 'distillation,' which allows a new AI model to learn by repeatedly querying a larger, pre-trained model. This practice, according to OpenAI's terms of use, is prohibited. OpenAI is working with Microsoft, its business partner, to identify and ban accounts attempting to utilize distillation techniques. DeepSeek's publicly available research papers acknowledge the use of distillation methods and their reliance on open-source AI models from Meta and other Chinese companies. Analysts have been puzzled by several aspects of DeepSeek, including its claim that training its flagship AI assistant, R1, cost only $5.6 million, a significantly lower figure compared to the billions of dollars invested in developing ChatGPT. DeepSeek's relatively inexpensive prices for developers further raise questions about the financial resources required for such advancements. The company also faced limitations due to U.S. export controls on powerful AI chips, but their earlier social media posts suggest they may have acquired a large number of these chips before the restrictions were imposed. The allegations against DeepSeek highlight the growing tensions and competitive landscape in the field of AI, particularly between the U.S. and China. The debate surrounding intellectual property rights and the ethical implications of AI development are likely to intensify as the technology continues to advance
