Lead Story
DeepSeek, founded in May 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, has quickly become a major player in the global AI market, offering innovative and cost-effective models that challenge U.S. tech giants like Microsoft and OpenAI. However, its rapid rise raises concerns about data privacy, security, censorship, and the reliability of its AI systems, presenting significant challenges to the industry.
DeepSeek has become a significant concern for data security and intellectual property protection. In late 2024, Microsoft and OpenAI launched an investigation after discovering suspicious activity that suggested individuals linked to DeepSeek were extracting large amounts of data from OpenAI’s systems via its API. This raised fears of a potential breach of intellectual property rights, which could severely damage both data security and the AI industry’s credibility. A key issue is DeepSeek’s suspected use of "distillation" techniques, where a smaller model is trained to replicate the knowledge of a larger one.
