Australia prohibits Deepseek on government agencies on security risks

Australia has banned Deepseek from all government agencies and systems about what it says is the security risks that Chinese artificial intelligence starts.

Dibsic was amazed in January when Chatbot revealed the performance level of our competitors, with the claim that it had a much lower training cost.

Billions of dollars were eliminated from the international stock markets, including in Australia, where the shares associated with Amnesty International – such as Brunchip Chipmaker – overnight.

The Australian government insisted that the embargo is not due to the origins of the Chinese application, but because of the “unacceptable risks” it raises to national security.

Deepseek was contacted to comment.

Australia's step specifically requires any government entities “preventing the use or installation of Deepseek products, applications and web services”, as well as removing any previously installed government system or device.

This means that a wide range of workers will not be able to use tools in the country, including those who work in various areas such as the Australian Electoral Commission and the Meteorological Office.

It is unclear whether this means that Deepseek will be banned from public sectoral computers in various areas of the economy, such as schools.

The ban does not extend to the devices of ordinary citizens.

Western countries have a record of being suspicious of Chinese technology – especially Huawei telecommunications and social media platform, Tiktok – both are restricted based on national security.

It seems that the initial reaction to Deepseek – which soon has become the most downloaded free application in the United Kingdom and the United States – is different.

President Donald Trump described it as a “vigil” call to the United States, but he said in general that may be a positive development, if it reduces the costs of artificial intelligence.

Since then, though, doubts about this have been expressed.

In January, the former Australian Science Minister said that the countries need to be “very cautious” regarding Depsic, citing “data and privacy.”

Chatbot is removed from application stores after interrogating the privacy policy in Italy. Italian government has previously blocked Chatgpt due to privacy concerns in March 2023.

All organizers in South Korea, Ireland and France began investigating how Deepseek deals with user data, which it stores on servers in China.

White House press secretary Caroline Levit said that the United States is now looking into possible security effects.

According to the US Navy, its members were prevented from using Deepseek – although it did not confirm this to the BBC.

In general, artificial intelligence tools will analyze the claims sent to them to improve their products.

This is true in applications like Chatgpt and Google Gemini as it is Deepseek.

They all collect and preserve information, including email addresses and birth dates.

However, security experts have previously warned that anyone working in the areas of secret or national security should be aware of the danger of what he enters into the chat stations that are kept and analyzed by the developers of these tools.

Deepseek has also faced accusations, and has unlikely used it for American technology.

Openai He complained that the competitorsIncluding in China, it uses its own business to make rapid progress with its own products.
