AI News Today
🕵️ OpenAI says China’s DeepSeek stole AI data ↗️LINK
What: OpenAI and Microsoft believe Chinese AI company DeepSeek used OpenAI’s API to take data and build its own AI models. In late 2024, security teams spotted unusual data transfers linked to DeepSeek.
Why: OpenAI says DeepSeek used a technique called "distillation" to train its models on OpenAI’s AI outputs, which breaks OpenAI’s rules. While OpenAI hasn’t shared full proof, it sees this as part of a larger issue with China-based firms.
Impact: This raises concerns about AI security and competition. OpenAI wants the US government to help protect AI technology from being taken by foreign rivals.
⚖️ AI can't hold copyright, U.S. rules ↗️LINK
What: The U.S. Copyright Office issued a report affirming that AI-generated works alone cannot receive copyright protection. However, works combining human and AI elements may be copyrighted, but only for the human-created portions.
Why: The ruling reinforces the necessity of human creativity for copyright eligibility, clarifying that simply providing AI prompts doesn’t qualify as authorship. No new legislation is deemed necessary for now.
Impact: This decision provides legal clarity for artists and businesses using AI, balancing innovation with intellectual property rights. It reassures human creators while setting boundaries for AI-generated content.
🚀 Alibaba claims its AI beats DeepSeek ↗️LINK
What: Alibaba has released Qwen 2.5-Max, an AI model it claims outperforms DeepSeek-V3, GPT-4o, and Meta’s Llama-3.1-405B. The launch, unusually timed on Lunar New Year, signals intense competition in China’s AI race.
Why: DeepSeek’s recent AI breakthroughs have shaken both U.S. and Chinese tech firms, leading to price wars and rapid AI upgrades. Alibaba and others are racing to stay competitive.
Impact: The AI battle in China is accelerating, driving innovation and cost reductions. DeepSeek’s lean approach challenges tech giants like Alibaba, pushing them to rethink strategy in the AI arms race.
📉 Tesla profits plunge 70% in Q4 ↗️LINK
What: Tesla’s Q4 profits fell over 70%, earning $2.3B on $25.7B in revenue, missing analyst estimates. Sales dropped year-over-year for the first time in a decade.
Why: Lower EV demand, competition from cheaper Chinese models, and reliance on regulatory credits contributed to the decline. Tesla aims to cut costs and launch a more affordable EV by 2025.
Impact: Investors remain wary, but Tesla’s plans for robotaxis, full self-driving, and cheaper EVs could drive future growth. Political uncertainty over tax credits and tariffs adds more challenges.
📡 Apple, SpaceX bring satellite texting to iPhone ↗️LINK
What: Apple, SpaceX, and T-Mobile have partnered to bring Starlink satellite texting to iPhones via the iOS 18.3 update. A limited beta test is underway for T-Mobile users in the U.S.
Why: The collaboration aims to improve connectivity in remote areas. While only texting is supported now, SpaceX and T-Mobile plan to add voice and data features in the future.
Impact: iPhone users will have better emergency and off-grid communication. This move strengthens Apple’s satellite capabilities, while Starlink expands its role in mobile networks.
