Sensitive data of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is being claimed to have been leaked on the Internet. Israeli cybersecurity firm 'Wiz' has claimed that it has received a large amount of sensitive data from Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek, which was inadvertently leaked on the open Internet. In a blog post published on Wednesday, Wiz said that a scan of DeepSeek's infrastructure revealed that the company had accidentally left more than one million lines of data unprotected. These included digital software keys and chat logs.

 

Wiz's Chief Technology Officer said that DeepSeek immediately secured the data after being alerted by his firm. Wiz co-founder Ami Luttwak said that they removed it in less than an hour, it was so easy to find that we think we are not the only ones to find it.

 

DeepSeek's AI model is based on our stolen technology: America.

 

The US has made a strict comment about the Chinese startup company's AI model DeepSeek and said that it is based on stolen American technology. Addressing senators on Wednesday, Howard Lutnick, President Donald Trump's second-term Commerce Secretary nominee, said China's DeepSeek has been able to create a very cheap and powerful artificial intelligence model by taking advantage of stolen American technology and advanced American semiconductor chips.

 

Need to establish a light-touch model

Lutnick also said that he would ensure that the US remains at the forefront of the world in the field of AI. Lutnick said, that for the US to maintain its leadership in this field, there is a need to establish a light-touch model to create a global standard in AI, similar to the US standard for cybersecurity.

 

'Will maintain our leadership'

Lutnick told the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, "We need to make sure that we set standards that the world follows, and I think that's how we will maintain our leadership. He said, do it the American way, which we know is the way to win."
