By Stephen Nellis, Krystal Hu, Jeffrey Dastin, Anna Tong and Katie Paul (Reuters) - Top White House advisers this week expressed alarm that China's DeepSeek may have benefited from a method that allegedly piggybacks off the advances of U.

The economic hardware/software debate about China just got more complicated. Before DeepSeek flipped the script on the artificial intelligence game, many economists worried China had way too much of the former and not enough of the latter.

The Chinese tech company DeepSeek is causing major waves in the AI industry - what are they doing that’s making everyone rethink AI’s future?

U.S. officials are looking at the national security implications of the Chinese artificial intelligence app DeepSeek, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday, while President Donald Trump's crypto czar said it was possible that intellectual property theft could have been at play.

White House artificial intelligence czar David Sacks said there’s “substantial evidence” that Chinese upstart DeepSeek leaned on the output of OpenAI’s models to help develop its own technology.
