The company "Uiz" for cybersecurity from New York reported that it discovered a large amount of sensitive data belonging to a Chinese startup on artificial intelligence "DeepSee", after they were mistakenly left accessible on the internet. Scans of "DeepSee"'s infrastructure showed that the company mistakenly left unprotected over a million records of data, including digital keys for programs and chat logs, which apparently captured requests sent by users to the company's assistant of non-captive artificial intelligence.
A senior technical advisor at "Uiz" noted that "DeepSee" operationally secured the data after warnings from their company. The founder of "Uiz", Ami Lotvak, stated: "They deleted the data less than an hour ago, but it was very easy to find, and we believe that we are not the only ones who discovered it".
The unexpected success of "DeepSee" after launching its own artificial intelligence assistant sparked enthusiasm in China and raised concerns in America. The ability of the Chinese company to compete with the American artificial intelligence from "OpenAI" at a much lower cost raised questions about the long-term viability of business models and profit margins of companies in the field of artificial intelligence giants in the USA, including "NVIDIA" and "Microsoft".
