Flailing OpenAI Calls for Ban on Chinese AI
Briefly

OpenAI, once the leading AI startup, is facing strong competition, particularly from Chinese competitor DeepSeek. In response to this pressure, OpenAI has advocated for a global ban on AI models aligned with the Chinese Communist Party. The white paper emphasizes that although the U.S. currently leads in AI development, this lead is diminishing. Critics point out that the growing challenges of AI include economic disruption, job loss, and free speech issues. While DeepSeek may resemble American tech structures, OpenAI's strategic pivot highlights its concern over international competition.
In a recently published white paper, OpenAI called for US lawmakers to 'coordinate a global ban' on what it calls 'Chinese Communist Party aligned' AI models.
DeepSeek made waves earlier this year when it announced an AI model approximately on par with OpenAI's ChatGPT, which the Chinese company made for a fraction of the price.
While America maintains a lead on AI today, DeepSeek shows that our lead is not wide and is narrowing, according to OpenAI's paper.
The AI Action Plan should ensure that American-led AI prevails over CCP-led AI, securing both American leadership on AI and a brighter future for all Americans.
