AI Showdown: U.S. Firm Sounds Alarm Over China’s Rising Tech
In a move straight out of a Hollywood-worthy plot twist, OpenAI has dubbed China's AI model DeepSeek a 'significant risk' in a letter to the U.S. government. The company urged Washington to clamp down on the tech rival, claiming its rapid growth could tip the global AI balance 🌐⚖️.
The 15-page memo, sent to the White House in March, warns that DeepSeek’s use in critical infrastructure could expose systems to 'manipulation' and privacy breaches. OpenAI’s VP of Global Affairs, Chris Lehane, also accused the Chinese firm of IP theft—though no concrete evidence was shared. The letter doubles as a plea to restrict access to advanced AI for 'certain countries' through a tiered system 🚧.
This clash comes as the U.S. drafts its AI Action Plan, with OpenAI pushing to protect America’s lead. Spoiler alert: If you thought your TikTok FYP was dramatic, this sci-fi-meets-real-world-politics saga just leveled up 🍿.
