DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has been banned by governments in multiple countries due to concerns over its AI models' potential impact on national security and social stability. However, New Zealand has not followed suit, and DeepSeek's AI models remain accessible in the country.
The ban on DeepSeek's AI models in other countries is reportedly due to concerns over their ability to generate convincing and potentially misleading content. Governments are worried that these models could be used to spread disinformation, propaganda, or even create deepfakes.
Despite these concerns, New Zealand's government has not taken any action to restrict access to DeepSeek's AI models. The country's lack of regulation in this area has raised questions about its preparedness to address the potential risks associated with advanced AI technologies.
