The Trump administration is contemplating a ban on the Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek for US government devices due to national security worries. Experts have suggested that DeepSeek may pose an even greater threat than TikTok, as its terms of service indicate substantial data collection practices, with data stored in China and subject to government demands. Discussions are ongoing about whether to also restrict DeepSeek from US app stores or limit cloud service access. Despite initially high downloads, some experts are skeptical of DeepSeek's claims regarding its AI model's cost compared to competitors like Google and OpenAI.
DeepSeek's terms reveal that it collects vast troves of user data, raising significant concerns over national security and data privacy, particularly due to its ties to China.
Discussions about banning DeepSeek include restricting it from US app stores and limiting cloud services from supporting access to ensure data safety.
