The US has launched an investigation into DeepSeek after its chatbot, allegedly powered by restricted chips, delivered a dismal 17% accuracy rate. The probe raises concerns over potential violations of trade restrictions and the integrity of AI performance claims.
DeepSeek, once hailed as a rising AI contender, now faces scrutiny as officials question whether its use of banned semiconductor technology played a role in its underwhelming results. The chatbot’s poor accuracy has fueled doubts about the company’s compliance with US regulations and the effectiveness of its AI model.
Experts suggest that reliance on unapproved chips could have led to performance flaws, rendering the system unreliable. Meanwhile, industry insiders warn that the case highlights broader risks of unauthorized chip usage in high-stakes AI development.
As the investigation unfolds, DeepSeek finds itself at the center of a storm—one that could reshape discussions on AI security, compliance, and global tech regulations.
