This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor.

This is CBS, I on the World. I'm John Batchelor. Deep Seek, gaining attention around the world when it was introduced by the People's Republic of China's media,

Deepseek is said to be a program running cheaper, faster, just as good as the expensive large language models in America

and now in competition with each other, anthropic, open chat, Gemini.

I welcome Jack Burnham, a research fellow at the Foundation for

the Defense of Democracy, who guides me to a new revelation about Deep Sea. I've been watching the

hardware and claims that, for example, we don't use Nvidia chips or claims that it's cheaper than the runs through, the large language model run through is developing over at Claude for Anthropic.

I had not looked at the software and Jack now guides me to why that's important. Jack, a very good evening to you.

DeepSeek has many iterations, R1, R2, R3, for example.

However, what is important is the quality of information you get from asking questions for

deep seek. What have you discovered thanks to research by a very important crowd strike security firm watching the internet. Good evening to you.

Thank you for having me. I think what's interesting about what crowds right discovered is that

while deep seek when used normally as a tool in order to, for example, solve different coding challenges to produce apps and

websites, when asked to do so in a neutral way, often does so very well, on par with some of its

larger American competitors like Anthropic or ChatGPT from OpenAI. On the other hand,

what's really worrying about what CrowdStrike discovered is that

when CrowdStrike analysts introduced terms that Beijing deems politically sensitive,

such as references to Uyghurs for a persecuted minority or to Tibet, then code that's developed using those terms often contains significant security vulnerabilities.

Now, for example, CrowdStrike asked Deepseek to create an app that would allow Uyghurs to connect with one another online.

And the code that Deepseep produced in response to that

contained significant security vulnerabilities

that had backdoors that would allow authorities,
