Microsoft probing if DeepSeek-linked group had unauthorized access to OpenAI data

Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI are investigating whether data output from OpenAI’s technology was obtained in an unauthorised manner by a group linked to Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek. According to Microsoft’s security researchers, individuals believed to be linked to DeepSeek might have exfiltrated a large amount of data using the OpenAI application programming interface, or API.

OpenAI is also said to have told the Financial Times that it has seen some evidence that its AI models and its AI technology were used by DeepSeek to train its own—which would be a breach of the ChatGPT maker’s terms of services.

OpenAI's API is the main way that software developers and business customers buy OpenAI's services. Microsoft, the largest investor for OpenAI, notified the company of suspicious activity, according to a Bloomberg report.

DeepSeek - a new disruption in the AI world

DeepSeek earlier this month released a new open-source AI model called R1 that can mimic the way humans reason. The low-cost Chinese AI startup is quickly seen as an alternative to U.S. rivals, sparking a tech stock selloff on Monday as its free AI assistant overtook OpenAI's ChatGPT on Apple's app store in the United States. The DeepSeek-R1 AI model is now live and is available on web, app, and API.
