Australia’s Science Minister Ed Husic raised privacy concerns about China’s DeepSeek AI chatbot, urging users to be cautious before downloading it.
DeepSeek, developed by a China-based startup, has surged to the top of app charts, surpassing ChatGPT.
Husic emphasised the need for careful consideration of quality, data management, and privacy, noting that Chinese companies often have different practices than their Western counterparts.
He warned that while Chinese products may succeed in their domestic market, they may not be embraced in regions with different privacy expectations.
In 2018, Australia banned the Chinese company Huawei from its 5G network due to national security concerns.
