Microsoft probing DeepSeek-tied group over OpenAI data gathering method: Report
Security researchers at Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest investor, detected suspicious data extraction from the firm’s API in the fall of 2024, Bloomberg reported.
Microsoft and OpenAI are reportedly investigating whether data from the artificial intelligence firm’s tech stack was improperly obtained by a group linked to Chinese AI startup DeepSeek.
Microsoft security researchers detected suspicious large-scale data extraction through OpenAI’s application programming interface (API) in late 2024, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 29, citing people familiar with the matter.
Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest investor, notified the firm of the activity, which could violate the ChatGPT maker’s terms of service or could mean the group removed restrictions on how much data they could gather.
