DeepSeek AI Ban: Many countries have taken strict action against China’s fast-growing artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek AI. Australia, Italy and Taiwan have banned this platform. DeepSeek AI, which was considered more popular than OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has now been banned in these countries due to security concerns.
Why was the ban imposed?
Australia has recently ordered the removal of DeepSeek AI from all government systems and devices. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said that an investigation by national intelligence agencies found that DeepSeek AI could pose a serious threat to security. Although this ban does not apply to personal devices, the government has advised citizens to be vigilant about online data security.
Italy also imposed a ban
Italy’s privacy regulatory authority has blocked DeepSeek AI’s services, questioning its data security standards. The government is concerned that the platform may collect users’ personal information in an inappropriate manner.
At the same time, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission has also asked DeepSeek to clarify its data security policies. Apart from this, the Taiwan government has completely banned the use of DeepSeek AI in the public sector. The Ministry of Digital Affairs has feared that this platform could pose a threat to cross-border data leaks and cyber security. The ban has been imposed on government offices, public schools, government companies and important infrastructure.
Why are questions being raised on DeepSeek AI?
DeepSeek AI was launched in China 20 months ago and its popularity grew rapidly. It recently released its AI chatbot, which claims to reason like humans. However, controversy started over its data privacy policies. DeepSeek says that all user data is stored on servers located in China. This raised fears that this data could be handed over to Chinese intelligence agencies under China’s local laws.
Private companies are also taking strict steps
Not just governments, but private companies are also distancing themselves from DeepSeek AI. Many federal agencies in the US have instructed their employees not to use this app. Hundreds of companies have asked cybersecurity experts to block access to DeepSeek AI.
