Italy Blocks Chinese Chatbot DeepSeek

The Italian regulator has obstructed a Chinese application with integrated artificial intelligence DeepSeek.

This was reported by the local regulator Garante.

The emergency order entered effect immediately to secure the individual data of Italians.

The choice comes 2 days after Italy sent out a request about how DeepSeek utilizes users’ individual information. The local regulator asked what data is gathered, why, and whether it is kept in China. However, the Chinese business’s reaction was deemed “completely inadequate”. They said they do not run in Italy which European law does not use to them.

The DeepSeek app has been missing from digital shops in Italy given that January 29. The web variation, however, stayed available – and it is still readily available today.

The Italian paper la Repubblica composes that the main page of DeepSeek states that usersʼ personal information is stored on servers in China, the content of chats with the bot can be utilized to train its algorithms, and the service must not be used by children under 14. However, the Italian regulator asked for extra information, which it did not get.

What is DeepSeek?

On January 27, DeepSeek overtook ChatGPT to end up being the most popular complimentary app on the App Store. On the exact same day, the Chinese chatbot was subjected to a large-scale cyberattack.

DeepSeek was in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, a 40-year-old graduate of the School of Information and Electronic Engineering. He established a store for Nvidia A100 chips, which are now prohibited from being exported to China. Media reports recommend that this might have prompted him to release DeepSeek, integrating those chips with more affordable, lower-end ones that are still readily available for import.

DeepSeek is based on the open-source DeepSeek-V3 design. Some specialists say that the model was developed for less than $6 million – rivals spend far more. However, other specialists challenge this info.
