Kapanlagi.com - An interesting innovation from the world of artificial intelligence has emerged from China, namely DeepSeek AI, which is now capturing attention in the global tech arena. With claims that its open-source model can compete with giants like OpenAI, DeepSeek AI offers breakthroughs in mathematical reasoning, code efficiency, and low operational costs. However, behind all this sophistication, there is a dark side that needs to be watched: security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by irresponsible parties.
Recent research reveals that rapid injection patterns can be used to exploit DeepSeek AI, potentially leading to user account takeovers. This situation raises significant concerns regarding privacy and data security, especially with DeepSeek's growing popularity among users.
So, is DeepSeek AI really safe to use, or does it pose a threat to its users? Here’s the summary reported by Kapanlagi.com, Tuesday (28/1).
1. What is DeepSeek AI?
According to a report by Liputan6, DeepSeek AI has emerged as a new star in the world of artificial intelligence, thanks to the dedication of an independent laboratory from China that boldly takes a different approach.
Starting from the Fire-Flyer deep learning division focused on financial data analysis, they have now transformed by launching their first open-source model, DeepSeek-R1, in 2023.
Founder Liang Wenfeng emphasizes that scientific innovation is the top priority, far from the ambition of short-term profits, and this allows DeepSeek to operate without dependence on technology giants like Baidu or Alibaba.
With an approach that prioritizes academic collaboration, DeepSeek is now competing on the global stage with big names like OpenAI and Google, presenting DeepSeek-R1 designed to push the boundaries in programming and data analysis, making it one of the most revolutionary AI models on the market today.
2. Is DeepSeek AI Dangerous or Not?
However, DeepSeek AI also has its shortcomings, particularly in terms of security. Research has revealed vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals to take over user accounts through rapid injection attacks. This issue is a serious concern, given the increasing popularity of DeepSeek among AI developers.
According to recent research, security vulnerabilities in the DeepSeek AI system could potentially be exploited by cybercriminals to attack users. One of its vulnerabilities is rapid injection attacks, where perpetrators can inject malicious code into the DeepSeek system to take over user accounts.
This vulnerability allows perpetrators to access user data, including session tokens, which can then be used to impersonate the user. Additionally, XSS (cross-site scripting) attacks found in the DeepSeek system could also lead to unauthorized code execution in the victim's web browser.
"Features that have been around for decades provide an unexpected attack surface on GenAI applications, making it important for developers and application designers to consider the context in which they input LLM outputs, as these outputs are unreliable and may contain arbitrary data," said security researcher Johann Rehberger, quoting thehackernews.com
3. The Difference Between DeepSeek AI and ChatGPT
ChatGPT, a brilliant creation from OpenAI, has captured the world's attention with its ability to interact through text, offering fast and sophisticated communication, making it widely used in various fields such as customer service, marketing, and education.
On the other hand, DeepSeek AI comes with an open-source model that emphasizes cost efficiency and lower computational resource usage, as well as providing open access for developers to modify the model according to their needs.
In terms of performance, DeepSeek recorded an impressive logical reasoning score of 92%, surpassing ChatGPT, which achieved 89% in similar testing.
Although both have their respective advantages, DeepSeek is more focused on technical applications and big data analysis, making it the primary choice for scientific research and business sectors, while ChatGPT is more suitable for everyday communication thanks to its ability to generate creative text and natural responses.
Thus, the choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the user, whether they are looking for text-based interaction or in-depth data analysis.
"After experimenting several times, I found that all it takes to take over a user session is the userToken stored in localStorage on the domain chat.deepseek.com," he said again.
4. Becoming a Competitor to OpenAI
DeepSeek AI has captured the attention of the tech world with its remarkable potential to compete with OpenAI, particularly thanks to its cost efficiency and the innovations it offers. One of their stars, the DeepSeek-R1-Zero model, adopts a unique approach focusing on reinforcement learning without relying on supervised training, making it distinct from OpenAI's models.
Another advantage is its open-source approach, which attracts many independent developers looking for more affordable and flexible AI solutions. In performance testing, DeepSeek achieved a score of 92% in logical reasoning, surpassing ChatGPT, which only scored 89%.
Nevertheless, Google Gemini still leads in multimodal data processing, emphasizing that competition in the AI industry remains very intense. DeepSeek's success clearly poses new challenges for American tech giants like OpenAI and Google, who now have to compete with companies offering more efficient and cost-effective solutions.
5. Nvidia Stocks Plummet Nearly $600 Billion After DeepSeek AI Release
Nvidia stocks have experienced a shocking drop of nearly $600 billion following the launch of DeepSeek AI, raising concerns among investors about the threat to the dominance of AI giants like Nvidia due to lower operational costs.
Recent data shows Nvidia's market capitalization has drastically fallen to US$ 593 billion, with daily losses reaching 17 percent, setting a new record as the largest one-day loss in the Wall Street stock market.
6. What is DeepSeek AI?
DeepSeek AI is a Chinese artificial intelligence model developed to compete with OpenAI using an open-source approach.
7. What are the main advantages of DeepSeek AI?
The advantages of DeepSeek AI include cost efficiency, advanced technology, and a flexible open-source approach.
8. Is DeepSeek AI safe to use?
Although DeepSeek AI offers many innovative features, there are security vulnerabilities that users need to be aware of.
