The Italian Data Protection Authority (GPDP) has blocked the DeepSeek chatbot in the country. According to the agency, the decision was made to protect the personal data of Italian users. At the same time, the GPDP has launched an investigation into the activities of this chatbot.
On January 28, the agency demanded that DeepSeek provide detailed information about the processes of collecting and processing users' personal data. However, the company refused this request, citing the fact that it does not officially operate in Italy and, therefore, European law does not apply to it.
Also, yesterday, the DeepSeek platform was removed from online app stores in Italy.
About DeepSeek
DeepSeek is an open-source large language model (LLM) developer based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The company was founded in 2023 and is fully funded by the hedge fund High-Flyer. It is led by CEO Liang Wenfeng.
DeepSeek is one of the platforms that has had a major impact on the AI market. Its emergence has caused financial losses for popular chatbots such as ChatGPT and graphics accelerator manufacturers such as Nvidia.
It is still unknown how this decision by the Italian government and GPDP will affect DeepSeek's activities and how the situation in the AI market will develop. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
