DeepSeek and other Chinese AI programs should be banned, according to OpenAI
DeepSeek has come under fire from OpenAI, which claims that the Chinese Communist Party controls its AI technology. The makers of ChatGPT advocated for a ban on AI models made in China in a proposal they sent to the US government. On the grounds that AI jeopardizes the safety of American businesses and intellectual property, OpenAI is requesting a US ban akin to the one placed on Huawei.
OpenAI cautioned in a letter to the Office of Science and Technology Policy that intervention is required to preserve global technological dominance as US leadership in AI declines. According to the company, DeepSeek was created specifically to challenge US dominance with direct assistance from the Chinese Communist Party.
Similar to Huawei, DeepSeek and other models created in that nation are being accused by OpenAI using the authoritarian card. The business claims that this AI is controlled and sponsored by the state, which raises questions about its possible application in censorship, espionage, and international disinformation campaigns. DeepSeek is subject to Chinese data laws, which demand complete collaboration with Xi Jinping's government's surveillance programs, in contrast to GPT-4, Gemini, and other AI models.
According to OpenAI, implementing DeepSeek might result in a disastrous situation for the US. That's why it has asked the Trump administration to block its deployment and tighten its policies against Chinese AI. Failure to do so would jeopardize government security and financial infrastructure, even for private companies.
