China's internet regulatory authority has initiated an investigation targeting two domestic artificial intelligence firms, DeepSeek and Moonshot AI. This probe comes in direct response to serious accusations leveled against them by Anthropic, a well known artificial intelligence company. The regulator is now examining the reported actions of DeepSeek and Moonshot AI following these claims.
Anthropic's specific claims allege that both DeepSeek and Moonshot AI secretly channelled a significant volume of user interactions. These millions of user exchanges were purportedly redirected via Anthropic's own Claude artificial intelligence system. The ultimate goal of this alleged covert operation was to leverage these transmitted user data to further develop and train DeepSeek's and Moonshot AI's respective artificial intelligence models.
