OpenAI Claims Knowledge Distillation by International Competitors

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has raised concerns about competitors, including Chinese firms, potentially using its technology to accelerate their AI development through knowledge distillation. The issue gained prominence following the emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI application demonstrating capabilities similar to ChatGPT, reportedly at lower operational costs. Microsoft, a major OpenAI investor, is investigating potential unauthorized use of OpenAI's data. White House AI advisor David Sacks addressed the situation on Fox News, suggesting DeepSeek may have employed knowledge distillation from OpenAI's models. OpenAI released a statement acknowledging that various companies are attempting to distill their models, emphasizing the need for collaboration with the U.S. government to protect advanced AI systems. The development has prompted security concerns, with the U.S. Navy prohibiting its personnel from using DeepSeek's applications. Data security experts have highlighted risks associated with the application's data collection […]

Palestinians Return to Devastated Gaza City as Peace Talks Progress

Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have begun returning to Gaza City, encountering widespread destruction after 15 months of conflict. The city's infrastructure lies in ruins, with residents searching for shelter among damaged buildings and attempting to locate separated family members during the return journey. Many returnees traveled more than 20 kilometers on foot along the coastal highway, carrying their remaining possessions. Hamas authorities reported that over 300,000 peopleโ€”approximately half of those displaced from northern Gazaโ€”have now returned to Gaza City and its northern areas. The return coincides with ongoing ceasefire negotiations. Under current agreements, Hamas is scheduled to release three Israeli hostages on Thursday and three more on Saturday. In exchange, Israel will free Palestinian prisoners, with some accepting relocation to countries including Qatar, Turkey, and Algeria. A Hamas delegation led by Mohammad Darwish has arrived in Cairo for […]

Serbian Leadership Crisis Deepens as Prime Minister Steps Down

Prime Minister Milos Vucevic of Serbia resigned on Tuesday amid escalating anti-corruption protests triggered by a fatal railway station incident in Novi Sad that claimed 15 lives. The protests, which began locally in Novi Sad, have expanded to Belgrade, drawing thousands of participants, including students and teachers. Demonstrators attribute the station collapse to governmental corruption under President Aleksandar Vucic's administration. Before Vucevic's resignation, both the construction and transportation minister and the trade minister had already stepped down. At a news conference, Vucevic stated his resignation was intended to "defuse tensions," adding that Novi Sad's mayor would also depart. "With this, we have met all demands of the most radical protesters," he noted. While protests have remained largely peaceful, including a student blockade of a major Belgrade intersection, tension escalated Monday when three protesters in Novi Sad were attacked. One woman […]
