The European Union's (EU) data protection watchdog is considering taking further action against DeepSeek, an AI-powered tool used for facial recognition and surveillance. The tool has raised concerns over its potential impact on individuals' right to privacy.
DeepSeek's technology allows users to upload images and search for matches in various databases, including social media platforms and public records. This has sparked concerns among EU regulators, who argue that the tool's capabilities could be used to infringe on individuals' right to privacy and potentially lead to mass surveillance.
The EU's data protection watchdog has already issued warnings to DeepSeek's developers, but is now considering further action, including potential fines or even banning the tool altogether. The watchdog's concerns highlight the ongoing debate over the balance between technological innovation and individual privacy rights in the EU.
