Deepseek data transfer without approval, South Korean people say Technology news

The Personal Information Protection Committee says that the artificial intelligence model has sent personal data to the Bijin -based cloud service.

The Data Protection Authority in South Korea accused Dibsic, Chinese emerging Taking Chatbot, which works with artificial intelligence, the technical scene by the storm earlier this yearFrom transferring personal data without the approval of users.

The Dipsik Committee was transferring information to many companies in China and the United States before removing the Chatgpt artificial intelligence model from the application stores in February, pending a review of privacy.

Nam Siuk, director of the committee’s investigation office, said during a press conference that the application had sent the user’s claims, devices and network information to the Bijin -based cloud service called Volcano Engine.

Nam said that Dibsic “acknowledged that she did not consider data protection laws in Korea” and “expressed her willingness to cooperate with the committee, and to suspend new voluntary downloads.”

Deepseek did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Following the announcement of the South Korean Energy Agency, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said it has placed a high level of importance to the privacy of data and security.

“We have never requested – and we will not ask companies or individuals to collect or store data through illegal means,” the ministry spokeswoman Qouh Jiakoun said during a regular press conference.

Deepseek’s R1 caused its developers to have issued a research paper claiming that they spent less than $ 6 million on computing power to train the model-a small part of millions of dollars in artificial intelligence budgets in American technology giants such as Openai and Google.

The appearance of a Chinese emerging company that capable of competing with the leading Silicon Valley players in the assumptions of the United States’ dominance in artificial intelligence and prompted the audit of high market evaluations in the sky to companies such as NVIDIA and Meta.

Mark Anderson, one of the owners of capitalists in the field of technology in the Silicon Valley, praised the Dibsic model as “the moment of Sputnik of artificial intelligence.”
