DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, made headlines with its new open-source AI model, DeepSeek-R1, which surpasses competitors such as OpenAI's o1 in performance and cost. However, while its technical success has drawn attention, the model's implications for news publishers and intellectual property rights remain unaddressed. Concerns are rising about the model's citation practices and respect for copyright, echoing previous challenges faced by other chatbots like ChatGPT, which struggled with accurate sourcing and citation of news content. Initial tests of DeepSeek's chatbot reveal troubling patterns in its handling of copyrighted material and subscription barriers.
The DeepSeek chatbot readily acknowledged that sharing the contents of these news articles could violate copyright and skirt subscription paywalls.
