DeepSeek Accused of Exploiting OpenAI Models - David Sacks, the U.S. AI and crypto czar, alleges substantial evidence that China's DeepSeek used outputs from OpenAI models to train its AI, likening it to theft. Although Sacks hasn't disclosed the evidence, he notes OpenAI's dissatisfaction.
DeepSeek's popular AI models and apps are under U.S. government scrutiny. The National Security Council is examining their implications, and the U.S. Navy has banned their use due to security and ethical concerns.
