OpenAI has suspended the account of TikTok parent ByteDance following a report that the Chinese-owned company was “secretly” using its AI technology “GPT” to create its own rival chatbot service.
ByteDance, whose ties to the Chinese government have led to intense federal scrutiny of TikTok's operations in the United States, has relied on OpenAI's application programming interface, or API, “for almost every phase development” of its AI product, The Verge reported, citing. internal company documents.
ByteDance has been building its own Big Language Model, an AI tool trained on endless streams of Internet data, as part of a “high-priority” and “secretive” internal initiative called “Project Seed “. The report said that ByteDance has used OpenAI's “GPT” to both train its model and evaluate its development.
The practice appears to violate the terms of service set out for OpenAI, which tells customers that its AI platform cannot be used “to develop any artificial intelligence models that compete with our products and services.”
