Chinese AI firm on US national security radar
The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said U.S. officials are considering the national security impact of Chinese companies Deepseek’s obvious artificial intelligence (AI) breakthrough.
According to reports, due to “potential security and moral issues”, the U.S. Navy banned its members from using Deepseek applications, and the news was after the U.S. Navy banned the use of DeepSeek applications.
At the same time, the manufacturer of Openai’s ChatGPT has promised to work closely with the US government to prevent competitors from using its technology.
Earlier this week, it is reported that DeepSeek’s cheap but powerful AI model has led to the downturn of US technology companies, because investors have questioned them for billions of dollars in new AI infrastructure.
Ms. Levit said: “I talk to (the National Security Council) talk this morning, and they are studying (the influence of national security).” Calling on the US technology industry.
According to CNBC, the U.S. Navy has sent an email to its staff to warn them not to use the DeepSeek application because “the origin of the model and the use of potential security and moral issues related to the use of the model”.
The Navy did not immediately respond to the comments of the Broadcasting Corporation’s news.
David Sacks delivered a speech on Fox News during the recently appointed “White House AI and Crypto Tsar”. It is also suggested that Deepseek may use the model of the top American company Openai to be better.
This process-learning from one AI model from another model-called knowledge distillation.
“There is a lot of evidence that Deepseek does here to refine the knowledge from the OpenAI model.” “I think the thing you will see in the next few months is our leading AI company. It is taking measures to try to prevent distillation … This will definitely slow down some of these models. “
OpenAI agreed in the later statement that the statement stated that China and other companies “constantly try to refine the model of leading the United States AI company.”
“As the main builder of AI, we have made countermeasures to protect us (intellectual property) … and believe that we move forward. It is very important that we closely cooperate with the US government to protect the most capable. The model is very important. “
At the same time, Deepseek said it has always been the goal of cyber attacks. On Monday, it stated that it would temporarily limit the “large -scale malicious attack” on its software.
The banner currently displayed on the company’s website shows that the registration may be very busy due to the attack.
Yuyuan Tantian, a social media channel under the CCTV of China Broadcasting Corporation, claimed that the company faced “several” network attacks in recent weeks, and these network attacks have increased in “strength”.
Last week, AI Geeks praised its latest AI model. People began to download their chat robots in the app store, so Deepseek shot for reputation. Its rise has caused the downturn of American technology stocks, and many of them have restored a certain foundation.
However, the AI ​​industry in the United States has shaken due to obvious breakthroughs, especially because it is generally believed that the United States is in a leading position in the competition. It is believed that a series of trade restrictions on China to obtain high -end chips have consolidated this issue.
Although China has improved its investment in advanced technologies to make its economy diversified, Deepseek is not one of the large Chinese companies that are developing AI models to compete with the United States.
Experts say that the United States still has an advantage-it is the location of some of the largest chip companies-it is unclear yet, and it is unclear that the establishment of DeepSeek and its development level.
When DeepSeek’s crumbling market this week, President Trump described it as a “wake -up phone” in the US technology industry, and at the same time hinted that it might be proven as a “positive” signal.
He told the reporter in “Air Force One”: “If you can be cheaper, if you can do it, then (and) can reach the same final result. I think this is a good thing for us.”
He also said that he was not worried about the breakthrough and added that the United States would still be the main players in the field.
