According to a statement from OpenAI, it and its partner company Microsoft are banning suspicious accounts believed to be using their models for their own purposes. Both companies are trying to identify who is behind these efforts.
Although DeepSec is not named in the statement, it is apparently being pointed to.
It is notable that the Chinese company’s AR1 large language model has gained global attention and is rapidly becoming popular. Recently, this chatbot caused a major disruption in the U.S. stock market, resulting in billions of dollars in losses.
This company has been operational for less than two years but is already considered one of the most important players in the global AI race.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI allows businesses to use its AI models for commercial purposes but prohibits them from using them to train their own models.
The report also stated that there are suspicions that DeepSec used ChatGPT to train its AR1 model.
An OpenAI spokesperson told British media that they are aware of continuous attempts by Chinese companies to use important American AI models to train their own models.
The spokesperson emphasized that it is crucial for OpenAI to work with the government to ensure that their most valuable models are properly protected.
It is believed that DeepSec’s chatbot performs as well as OpenAI and Google’s AI systems, but it is much cheaper to develop and uses less powerful chips.
On the other hand, former U.S. President Donald Trump’s AI advisor, David Sachs, claimed that there is concrete evidence proving that DeepSec used AI models for its own purposes.
