Italy Blocks Chinese Chatbot DeepSeek

The Italian regulator has blocked a Chinese application with built-in expert system DeepSeek.

This was reported by the regional regulator Garante.

The emergency situation order entered into effect instantly to the individual information of Italians.

The choice comes two days after Italy sent out a demand about how DeepSeek utilizes users’ personal information. The local regulator asked what data is collected, why, and whether it is kept in China. However, the Chinese business’s reaction was deemed “entirely insufficient”. They said they do not run in Italy which European law does not apply to them.

The DeepSeek app has actually been missing from digital stores in Italy since January 29. The web variation, nevertheless, remained available – and it is still readily available today.

The Italian paper la Repubblica writes that the main page of DeepSeek states that usersʼ personal data is stored on servers in China, the material of chats with the bot can be used to train its algorithms, and the service needs to not be used by kids under 14. However, the Italian regulator requested extra details, which it did not get.

What is DeepSeek?

On January 27, DeepSeek overtook ChatGPT to become the most popular free app on the App Store. On the exact same day, the Chinese chatbot underwent a large-scale cyberattack.

DeepSeek was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, a 40-year-old graduate of the School of Information and Electronic Engineering. He set up a store for Nvidia A100 chips, which are now prohibited from being exported to China. Media reports recommend that this may have triggered him to release DeepSeek, combining those chips with less expensive, lower-end ones that are still available for import.

DeepSeek is based upon the open-source DeepSeek-V3 model. Some experts state that the model was developed for less than $6 million – competitors spend a lot more. However, other professionals challenge this information.
