OpenAI claims to have found evidence that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek secretly used data produced by OpenAI’s technology to improve their own AI models, according to the Financial Times. If true, DeepSeek would be in violation of OpenAI’s terms of service. In a statement, the company said it is actively investigating.

OpenAI itself has been accused of building ChatGPT by inappropriately accessing content it didn't have the rights to.

DeepSeek is causing havoc throughout the AI industry. U.S.-based tech companies that have heavily invested in AI saw their stocks take a tumble this week after the China-based startup released a new AI model on par with OpenAI's latest model, yet much cheaper to train — plus, DeepSeek made it free and open source.

OpenAI and Microsoft are big mad that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has stolen their market share and, possibly, portions of their code. It’s a deeply funny claim from the company that made ChatGPT, a program it once admitted couldn’t exist without free access to all the copyrighted data in the world.

Did DeepSeek violate OpenAI's IP rights? An ironic question given OpenAI's past with IP rights. What can we learn from this classic playbook to protect a business?

As the U.S. races to be the best in the AI field, one of the researchers at the most prominent company, OpenAI, has quit.

However, the consensus is that DeepSeek is superior to ChatGPT for more technical tasks. If you use AI chatbots for logical reasoning, coding, or mathematical equations, you might want to try DeepSeek because you might find its outputs better.

OpenAI says it is reviewing evidence that Chinese startup DeepSeek broke its terms of service by harvesting large amounts of data from its artificial intelligence technologies. The San Francisco-based startup,

As with Jevons Paradox, efficiency gains should send AI use soaring as costs drop. As Microsoft’s Satya Nadella observed, what the steam engine did to coal demand is now likely to happen with AI.

Despite paying boatloads of money on OpenAI for its most advanced models over the last two years, Microsoft has quickly embraced the AI disruptor, Chinese startup DeepSeek, which claims it can deliver even better AI power than ChatGPT at a fraction of the cost.
