South Korea, Australia, and Taiwan have banned Chinese AI startup DeepSeek on government devices, citing security risks and data privacy concerns. The U.S. is also considering restrictions.
Governments fear potential misuse of personal information and lack transparency in DeepSeek’s data handling. The AI firm recently disrupted global tech markets by claiming its model operates at a fraction of the cost of its competitors, leading to sharp declines in U.S. tech stock prices.
