DeepSeek hit with large-scale cyberattack [Video]

Cybersecurity expert Dr. Eric Cole joins LiveNOW’s Andrew Craft to discuss the latest with DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup that was hit with a large-scale cyberattack on Monday. Its breakthrough also caused tech stocks to tumble to begin the week, particularly affecting Nvidia.

DeepSeek is a Chinese AI startup that was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, the chief of AI-driven quant hedge fund High-Flyer. The app is different from other chatbots, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT because DeepSeek can explain its reasoning before delivering a response to a prompt.
