OpenAI boss Sam Altman says DeepSeek did ‘nice work’ with AI chatbot OpenAI boss Sam Altman has acknowledged that Chinese AI firm DeepSeek did some “nice work” in the creation of the chatbot now rivalling his firm’s ChatGPT.
Mr Altman said he was going to meet the competing AI firm, but the meeting would not take place during this week’s AI Action Summit in Paris, which he will attend on Tuesday.
Mr Altman acknowledged that said regional differences in AI products was inevitable, given current geopolitics, and that AI services would likely “operate differently in different countries”.
“A lot of people, even recent AI sceptics, were saying things like, ‘I can now do things that would have taken me many days or even weeks of work’,” he said.
The two-day AI summit in Paris, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, is seen as an opportunity for world leaders and the largest tech firms to find some common ground and a global approach on the development and governance of AI.
