Whether this data was obtained from Microsoft and OpenAI's servers by any groups linked with DeepSeek is currently of major concern to both these companies, and the course of action would reportedly be decided thereafter if any such suspected inconsistency is found.


Microsoft is majorly concerned about his issue as they are the biggest investors in OpenAI, and their security researchers are of the opinion that some individuals linked with the Chinese AI company, DeepSeek, could be responsible for extracting sensitive data related to the training of AI models, which was then helped to develop the likes of DeepSeek R1 and DeepSeek V3, for starters.

While the stock prices of AI stocks keep tanking during early trading, Microsoft and OpenAI are relentlessly trying to search for any leak in their system and resolve it at the earliest.
