OpenAI Makes Serious Allegations of Intellectual Property Theft Against DeepSick OpenAI has raised concerns about intellectual property theft. Following the viral chatbot DeepSick, OpenAI has accused the Chinese startup of copying technology from American artificial intelligence (AI) companies.
OpenAI and Microsoft have jointly started banning users who try to “distil” their models. According to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI is investigating the company DeepSick.
DeepSik is accused of training its own smaller models using OpenAI’s models. Distillation is the process of developing smaller models using the feedback from larger, more sophisticated AI models. OpenAI allows commercial users to add its platform, but its terms of service do not allow users to train their own models on the output of its system.
“China-based companies and others are constantly trying to didistilodels from U.S. AI companies. That’s why we need to work with the government to protect our best models from competitors,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.
The app also topped the Google Play Store on Wednesday. Its success has sent public AI companies’ stock prices down by $1 trillion. DeepSik’s chatbot is claimed to perform as well as OpenAI and Google’s AI systems. While the tool is much less expensive to build and uses a less powerful chip, it has been reported that DeepSik has cited OpenAI’s policies in its output. David Sachs, an AI advisor to US President Donald Trump, has said there is evidence that DeepSik has ‘distilled’ knowledge from OpenAI’s models. However, OpenAI itself is facing copyright infringement lawsuits.
