OpenAI has expressed significant concerns regarding its Chinese competitor, DeepSeek, in a letter to the US government. The letter highlights DeepSeek's R1 model as a major development that signals China's increasing ambitions in AI. OpenAI warns that their lead in AI is narrowing and suggests DeepSeek poses security risks due to potential government influence. Moreover, the US Navy has cautioned against using DeepSeek, and Taiwan has banned it over security issues, reflecting worries about privacy and safety connected to its use.
While America maintains a lead on AI today, DeepSeek shows that our lead is not wide and is narrowing. This underscores the tightening competition between the rival countries.
DeepSeek is simultaneously state-subsidized, state-controlled, and freely available. The cost to its users is their privacy and security.
