Western Governments Unite Against DeepSeek AI Engine
Numerous Western governments have declared themselves hostile to the DeepSeek artificial intelligence engine. Italy was the first to block the application, citing interference with Italian citizens' data. France has launched an investigation and is urging IT professionals to secure French data against intrusions. Meanwhile, the Irish are demanding details from DeepSeek about its citizen data processing protocols.
Euroconsumers, a European consumer protection organization, filed a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, prompting the Italian government to halt DeepSeek's processing of Italian user data.
The American authorities have taken their investigation a step further, probing the use of American-made chips in DeepSeek's servers. The question on everyone's mind is, "How did they obtain these chips, given that they are export-restricted?" The Chinese company's response was swift, claiming they had imported Nvidia chips that were legally available for export in 2023.
Norway, after discovering that DeepSeek collects and stores vast amounts of user data on servers in China, has banned the application for its citizens.
Belgium, Portugal, and South Korea are also viewing the application with hostility, citing concerns over its handling of user data and information.
