David Sacks, the AI and crypto czar for the White House, has claimed that there is substantial evidence suggesting Chinese startup DeepSeek used OpenAI’s models to train its own AI systems. This accusation has sparked significant attention from U.S. government officials, including a review by the National Security Council. DeepSeek’s AI models, which have become popular for their high performance and free availability, are now under scrutiny due to potential security and ethical concerns. The U.S. Navy has reportedly banned the use of DeepSeek’s AI, reflecting the gravity of the allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
