Some US lawmakers have proposed banning government employees from using DeepSeek's AI chatbots. If this proposal is enacted into law, the United States would join a growing list of countries banning Chinese artificial intelligence applications.
Recently, two US lawmakers, Darin LaHood and Josh Gottheimer, proposed a bill to ban the use of the DeepSeek AI chatbot on government devices due to national security concerns. If passed, the bill would give US government agencies 60 days to develop standards and guidelines to remove DeepSeek, as well as any other applications developed by DeepSeek's parent company, High Flyer.
US lawmakers are proposing a ban on government employees using DeepSeek's AI application.
The arguments in the proposed bill are similar to the provisions restricting TikTok in the US, stemming from concerns that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, could be forced to share sensitive data of US users with the Chinese government.
Many AI companies use data from users' conversations with chatbots to improve their models, raising privacy concerns. However, security experts warn that DeepSeek may pose a greater risk due to the company's China-based nature.
This move comes weeks after a Chinese startup surprised the market by launching its advanced AI model R1, said to be equivalent to OpenAI's ChatGPT but with lower training costs and less energy consumption. The fact that a Chinese company, only a year old and with limited access to the most powerful US AI chips, could still develop such superior technology has raised concerns that the US may be falling behind China in the AI field.
Recently, South Korea's Ministry of Industry temporarily banned employees from accessing the DeepSeek app due to security concerns, while the government urged caution regarding AI-generated services.
The South Korean government issued a notice on Tuesday urging ministries and agencies to exercise caution when using AI services, including DeepSeek and ChatGPT, in the workplace.
The state-run Korea Electric Power and Nuclear Corporation said it blocked the use of AI services, including DeepSeek, earlier this month. The foreign ministry restricted access to DeepSeek on computers connected to external networks.
South Korea's data privacy watchdog is planning to question DeepSeek about how it manages users' personal information.
Tech giant Kakao Corp has asked employees not to use DeepSeek due to security concerns, a day after the company announced a partnership with artificial intelligence modeling firm OpenAI.
South Korean tech companies are now being more cautious about using AI for image creation. SK Hynix, an AI chip manufacturer, has restricted access to AI image creation services and is allowing limited use only when necessary, a spokesperson said. Internet giant Naver said it has instructed employees not to use AI image creation services that store data outside the company.
Last month, Australian Finance Minister Jim Chalmers urged Australians to exercise caution when using Chinese AI models, while Italy and Taiwan (China) instructed law enforcement officers not to use DeepSeek.
