In a recent media interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed that the company does not intend to file a lawsuit against DeepSeek, despite previous reports indicating that some Chinese firms are attempting to replicate OpenAI’s advanced AI models.
Altman stated, “No, we currently have no plans to sue DeepSeek. We will continue to produce exceptional products and lead the world with our model’s capabilities.” He acknowledged that while DeepSeek has developed an impressive model, OpenAI remains confident in its ability to innovate and deliver superior products, welcoming competition in the field.
During the interview, Altman addressed concerns about allegations that DeepSeek may have reverse-engineered ChatGPT, emphasizing that OpenAI’s focus is on advancing technology and maintaining its leadership position in the market. “We have faced numerous competitors in the past, and I believe that driving technological progress and staying ahead serves everyone’s best interests,” he remarked.
It’s worth noting that OpenAI itself is currently facing multiple accusations of intellectual property infringement, primarily related to the use of copyrighted material for training its generative AI models.
